NPASSE HOLDS
ON TARIFF

With no hope OF immediate
compromise, the Senate and
House conferees met today to
wrangle again over their differ.
ences on the flexible clause anu
the debenture provisions of the
long pending tariff bill.
The Senate conferees undoubt-
edly will agree in the end to bring
the tariff bill back to the Senate
for separate votes on the two
principal items in dispute. The
House conferees thus far have re.
fused even to arbitrate the f1ex.
ible tariff argument until after
the Senate has again voted
upon it.
Administration leaders in the
Senate appeared to be gaining
converts to their compromise plan
on the flexible provision. They
have proposed giving the United
States Tariff Commission final
powers for fixing new rates, when
changing economic conditions
justify the lowering or raising of
the duties liked by Congress.
Under this plan. the President
would be authorized only to pro-
claim such changes as might be
proposed by the Tariff Comrnls.

the Presidents approval.

Chicago utility magnate, to the
cause of Frank L. Smith, who
defeated Senator William Nc
Kinley in the Republican Sen
torial primary, led to the victor S
expulsion by the Senate.
Insul did not appear publicly
in the primary this year. He
was not recorded as a contriou-
tor to either the Mccormick or
Deneen campaign.
When the Chicago hearings
get under way. the committee
will seek information on expendi-
lures in Cook County, which
Mrs. Mccormick carried over
Deneen by a large majority.
In the Smith inquiry. the old
Reed committee added to his
expenditures all sums spent by
local Republican organizations to
aid his candidacy. The same
plan probably will be followed
in dealing with Mrs. Mccormick S
campaign costs. This would con-
siderably increase the quarter
million dollar total already re-
ported.
