SEEK ARMISTICE TERMS.
CoalitiOnists Turn Down Proposal by
Senator SmoOt.

COaIitionists Turn Down Proposal by
Senator Smoot.
BY the Associated Press.
ArmiStice terms in the tariff war
were sought by Republican regulars in
the Senate yesterday, but were turned
down fatty by the coalition of Demo-
Gratis and Republican independents.
who hold command in a struggle that
has not had a counterpart in Congress
in years.
To the complete surprise of the bills
opponents Chairman Smoot of the
finance committee arose in the midst
of arguments over the metals schedule
and proposed that the Senate recess
until November 20 to permit the coali-
ton to agree upon its own rate re-
vision. Much time would be saved by
this procedure, Smoot explained, as the
bill thus agreed upon could be passed
forthwith and sent to conference with
the House.
One by one, however, the coalition
leaders tore into the proposal and
| warned that 1t was TO be a fight to
the finish" At the end of their re-
plies. the Senate proceeded with its
usual speed and regularity Of voting
down tariff increases proposed by the
House and Senate finance committee.
More than a dozen minor rates were
disposed of prior to taking q recess
until Monday.
Simmons Voices Objections.
Senator Simmons of North Carolina,
| veteran tariff spokesman for the Demo-
Gratis, was the first to voice his OBJ
| jections
I'VE owe it to the country to dis
cuss this bill publicly" he said. IF
the Senators who proposed this leEis-
lation are not willing to enter upon
| that discussion. then we will enter upon
it ourselves for the enlightenment of
| the public"
Senator Borah of Idaho. a leader OF
the Republican independents, followed
with declaration that the coalition
| members assumed responsibility for the
bill and felt it was incumbent upon
| them to pass 1t as speedily as possible
raised by Senator Walsh of Montana
acting Democratic leader. In the frst
place, he said, Senators on his side
would not agree to bind themselves to
support revision assented to in secret
conference by committee of coali-
tionists. Secondly, he added, the coali-
ton would not consent to sending a bill
to conference with no supporting argu-
ments for its rates as floor discussion
would develop.

Maj. Gen. Smedley D. Butler told Amer

are two reasons. First, some of the

ing on the tariff bill for months par
ticularly the members of the finance
committee, and they are anxious to get
away for rest and to attend TO per-
Sonal business before the grind of the
long session begins in December. The
other reason is that unless an adjourn
ment is taken the members of Congress
will not draw the mileage money for
trip home and back to Washington.
Now that the Republicans who are
backing the finance committee bill have
lost interest in the measure, since they
see the coalition ripping apart the
handiwork of the committee, many OF
them would be glad to see an adjourn
ment taken. However, the attitude of
Chairman Smoot of the finance commit
tee has been that he must keep the
Senate at work on the bill, holding ses-
sions each day from 10 am. to 5 or s
pm. To do less would be to play into the
hands of the opposition, which would
charge the regulars with having aban-
doned the bill and thus seek to lay the
blame for the failure of all tariff legiSla-
ton on them. There are plenty of
Democrats, members Of the coalition,
who would also be glad to see an adj
journment taken, but they fear that If
they initiate or support such a move
the blame for obstructing the bill may
be laid, in part, on them. The Repub-
lican insurgents, however, are entirely
willing to go ahead with the bill. believ-
ing that it can be passed. After it has
been sent to the House, they say, the
blame will then lay with that body or
the President If it is not finally enacted
into law.
Jones Favors No Delay.
Senator Jones of Washington, assist
ant Republican leader and acting leader
in the absence of Senator Watson Of
Indiana, who has gone away for a rest
because Of Ill health, Is one of those
who believes that the Senate should stay
in continuous session and dispose Of
the tariff bill one way or another.
The coalitionists felt that If they ac-
cepted Senator Shoots proposal for q
recess in which the coalition was to re-
write the BILL they might get themselves
into a snarl and also be accused of
attempting to write a tariff bill without
sufficient preparation. AS matters are
now going they have the situation pretty
we'll in hand. Last night some of them
expressed the opinion that the bill could
be passed before the opening of the
regular session, although they did not
regard 1t as probability.
The next schedule to come up is wood
and wood manufactures. It is not be-
lieved that this schedule will take much
time. for the proponents of duty on
shingles, inserted by the House and
taken out by the Senate committee, have
indicated they are willing to let the
matter 60 to conference. Afer the wood
schedule has been disposed of the much
-, A5,,IA v.,sIl -
fore the Senate. That Is likely to lead
to some debate.
