WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.--Saturday,
August 1s, was fixed to-day as the date
fos final vote on the tariff bill.
As "a result, the bill will be passed by
NE Senate almost exactly four months
tter its discussion was begun in this
), body. 1t was April 20 when the Senate
took the measure up.
The agreement on date was ar
ranged in conference of Senator Nc
Cumber and other Republican leaders
on the Finance Committee, and Sena-
tors Lodge, Lenroot, Simmons and Un-
derwood. While difficulty was expe-
rieaced in settling details, Senator's
generally have become worn out with
the protracted controversy, and there
was disposition to bring it to con-
iclusion.
Under the agreement the Senate will
proceed to vote not later than o'clock
Tuesday, August Is, without debate on
Finance Committee amendments. Not
later than 10 o'clock, Thursday evening,
AUGUST II, it will proceed to vote on
individual amendments. Not later than
O'Clock Saturday, August 10, the SEN
ate viii proceed to vote on the bill. 1t
is provided that after the bill is re-
ported to the Senate and unreserved
amendments made in the committee of
/ the whole are coneurred in, no Senator
shall speak longer than ten minutes
on any amendment. Night sessions will
be held if necessary.
Disposal of Biggest Items
The fact that the Senate this week
disposed of a number of the most i'm
portant controverted questions, such
as hides and sugar, as we'll as the
flexible tariff provisions, made to-day's
agreement possible. For the most part
the rates yet to be disposed of are
not OF major Importance.
With the bill passed by the Senate
August 10 it can remain u month in
conference and still be enacted into
law about October 1. However, it still
remains question on which opinions
differ widely as to whether the measure
will be put into effect before the
November elections. Much will depend
on the temper of the House when il
Ieassembles Tuesday. If House Repub-
Leans generally want to let the bill
Drift over past the elections it will be
found possible, as viewed here, to pro
long the sittings of the conference
committee and hold the measure back
until the elections are over. Senate
leaders continue to assert that the bill
VIII become effective before the cleo
tons.
Calder Supports Bill
To-day's session of the Senate was
gyen over to a speech by Senator
calder in support of the bill in which
ne based his arguments on the need
