Hope for I'litled MupHrt
Republican leaders were hoping
to win -united support for a - rule
which would permit 'amendment-j
to be offered only by republican
members of the ways ami means
committee; who framed the mouw-
ure but such an agreement hinged
upon the concessions .which tho tar
iff fru titers have agreed to make
to those 'dissatisfied with certain
proposed rates. ' .
Chalrmun Hawley of the com
mittee entered the conference with
an armful of books and papers in
eluding the amendments which the
ways and means "committee re
publicans huvo agreed upon after
ii week of supplemental hearings.
There were to be dlsnusHed nt the
