themselves to the movement designed
to bring about amendment of the exist

publican conference decided to draft
and press q new cloture rule.
The Senate Finance Committee ma
jority in charge of the tariff bill met
it's first reversal, being upset twice In
fights led by the Republican agricul-
tural tariff bloc. In addition, it reced-

a duty Of 25 per cent ad valorem on
bricks used in the construction OF
buildings.
The Senate passed the House bill
extending the life of national bank
charters, now limited to 20 years, to
