C0NFEREES HAVE
HUGE TASK AHEAD
ON TARIFF MEASURE

Washington, Aug. 2O.-The house
will get the tariff bill back from the
senate tomorrow just a year and a
month after it first acted upon it.
Republican leaders plan to send it to
conference under special rule with
Representatives Fordey of Michigan;
Green of Iowa and Longworth of
OHIO; Republicans; and Garner of
Texas and Collier of Mississippi,
democrats, as probable house manag-
ers.
The conference committee will be-
gin this week the task of compos-
ing the 2,000-odd differences be-
tween the senate and the house. The
question Of American valuation which
the house approved as the basis of
assessing the valorem duties, may
be referred to the house for special
vote, representative Fordney having
announced that he would hold out
for this plan in conference and let
the house settle the issue.
The general expectation at the
ca pitol is that the house will recede,
accepting the sena,c foreign vaiua =
ton plan with the so-called flexible
tariff provisions under which rates
might be raised or lowered by the
president to meet changing economic
conditions

slightly bent, but the impact was
such that the car shot across the
road through the fence and down
the cmbankment. passing through a
barbed wire fence half way down.
