WASHINGTON, May 2s-tF-
The tariff bill went back to con-

OF its carefully written, but much

Chairman Smoot Of the Senate

c~onferees together for a meeting
tomorrow at which the task OF
drafting q new compromise will be
undertaken. He hoped 10 submit a
new conference report for debate
In the senate by next Monday.
The bill was returned to the con-
ferees as the result OF an unforeseen
development in the long series OF
controversies that has attended the
making Of the measure. Vice-Presi-
dent Curtis sustained a point OF
order raised by n democratic on
ponent OF the bin.
Authority Exceeded
This was based upon a contention
that the conferees had exceeded
their authority in drafting a COM
promise on the flexible provisions.
Specifically, 1t was argued the rules
OF procedure had been violated by
the insertion Of language contain
ed IN neither the senate nor house
