Long Tariff Talks
Booked In Senate
Democrats Told Republicans To
Keep Outside Matters Out
Of Discussion.

Washington, May 5.--Discussion
of why better progress was not being
made in consideration of the tar1n
bill was resumed today in the SEN
ate with several senators Offering
suggestions and more talk on ex-
traneous subjects.
The debate brought from Sen
ator Simmons, North Carolina,
leader of the democratic fight on
policy of the minority. He said it
was not proposed to discuss each
of the more than 1000 amendments
at length, but it was the purpose to
take up outstanding items in each
schedule as a mean of illustrating
the basic principles of the measure.
Referring to the complaint made
yesterday by Senator McCumber,
republican North Dakota, in charge
of the bill about the senate delay,
Senator Underwood of Alabama, the
democratic leader, said that If the
senate was TO pass the measure be-
fore the November elections. the
burden was on Senator McCumber
to keep extraneous matters out of
the discussion. Senator Underwood
said there was no disposition on the
democratic side to delay the bill
and that he assumed the each side
was ready to go to the country and
face the issue of the tariff bill, Il
am opposed to this bill and hope it
will be defeated" he declared. II
think It's passage will defeat the
republican party in the next elect
ion, but republicans are entitled to
a vote here on it."
