Leaders Will Seek to
Block Action.
BY the Associated Press.

House Democratic leaders today
moved to block Republican efforts to
get consideration of tariff legislation
this session by calling q caucus for to-
morrow afternoon.
Representative Rainey, The majority
leader. put out the summons after q
conference with Speaker Garner and
Democratic members OF the Ways and
Means Committee.
We decided" Rainey said, that
since tariff was an issue in the No
vember election. that this Congress
should not act on tariff legislation but
that the question should be left to
the Seventy-third Congress"
The Republicans are already agreed
to force House action on a bill to raise
the tariffs to meet deprecated curren-
cies Of foreign countries.
There are 1877 new Democrats and
20 new Republicans in the next House"
Rainey said.
We take the attitude that in view of
the fact that the tariff was an issue
in the recent election, that no action
should be taken by this Congress.
AT the caucus We hope and believe
that this attitude will be adopted"
Bill Comes Up February Is.
The new Democratic move is to block
possible House action on February Is.
when the Crowther bill to authorize
adjustments of duties on the basis OF
deprecated foreign currencies will be
voted on.
The vote will be on whether the
House will discharge the Ways and
Means Committee from consideration
of the bill Should q majority favor
the bill, immediate House action would
follow
Already the las petitioners necessary
to force the vote have signed.
Representative Smell, the Republican
leader, backed by the administration.
has been seeking to force action. The
Democratic leadership has been placed
in . tight position.
Collier Issues Statement.
If its forces fail to bind themselves
at the caucus, the Republicans are
certain to embarrass the leadership on
the low-tarif1 issue.
Chairman Collier of the Ways and
Means Committee, which has been
holding hearings on the tariff proposals,
said:
I'VE ought not to undertake such
legislation at this session We should
not foreclose the new Congress on the
question. We consider it an impro-
priety to do So Besides. this question
probably will be considered by Presi-
dent-elect Roosevelt in connection with
the debt negotiations"

to be made an obligation of the city.

these funds. In March, 1882, 5000, 900
more was appropriated and in Novcm-
ber q State relief bond issue Of $30.000,-
900 was approved. 1t was estimated
that by February /, $4,000, 900 of the

the amount available on February /, it
was reported that $4,000, 900 was in a
reimbursement fund, from which the
State returns 40 per cent of the ap-
proved relief expenditures to any well
