After con- ouoauio uiscussion or the question whether free oil actually was In the bill the Speaker decided that a further vote was necessary and the roll again was called on the provision for the counter vailing duty, which, he said, if stricken out. would have the effect of placing crude petroleum nnA ita free list. While the chair was considering the matter, the House was in great confusion. By a viva voce vote the engrossment and third reading of the bill was ordered, whereupon Undberg of Minnesota sought recognition In mm-o . i. i.l. , structions-. The Speaker refused, saying common fairness required that he. should recognize Clark of Missouri, the minority leader, the bill's chief opponent. Clark """"i mane a motion to recommit with Instructions. Democratic Tariff Policy. This motion directed the ways and means committee to make the original minimum rates of the bill apply as maxi mum rates and to provide a schedule of rates lower than those to be applied as minimum rates. It also provided that the discriminating duty clause levying ten per cent increase on goods Imported In foreign vessels bo reversed so as to provide a ten per cent decrease on goods imported in American vessels. It Instructed the committee to provide for a graduated Income tax. tr add a paragraph giving the President the right to place any article on the free list by proclamation. If he is satisfied that Its value has been enhanced in conse quence of any monopoly or trust. The motion also directed the amend ment of the measure, "by reducing the duties carried by the bill to revenue rates, so as to raise the maximum of revenue with minimum burden of taxa tion upon the masses of the American people, so adjusting the rates of duty as to deal fairly with producer and consumer with due regard to the needs of the Gov eminent."

WSHISQ1iON'' Aprl1 9 When the Senate committee on finance concluded that n,0n t0ni8ht " s underrtood ban k avenues to the committee-room had been closed and that the few ses sessions to be held prior to the reporting A .ndmentS t0 the p bill would oCLhfe er?d b' supestions ' the outside. The commmittee is now pre pared to insert rates on certain impor tant matters. Among the schedules at tracting particular attention now are metals and manaufactures of metals lumber, hides, bituminous coal and sugar' No rates on steel and iron have been inserted as yet. although It Is practical ly settled that Iron ore will be taxed 20 cents a ton and a proportionate rate will be assessed against scrap iron and steel refuse fit only to be remanufactured. Put Sleel Rails at $5. The iron interests are concerned chief ly In getting an Increase over the rates of the Payne bill on rails and structural .iron. The Payne bill cuts the existing rate on steeel rails from J7.84 to $3.92. Just one-half. Steel men contend that the Payne rates are too severe a reduc tion. They have asked that a rate of 15. SS be fixed on rails. ' It is generally belleved the committee will name a rate of about 5 per ton. On structural steel .it Is likely that the Dingley rate of Vi cent a pound will be maintained. Instead of a rate of three-tenths of a cent a pound as fixed by the Payne bill. Coal Men Plead for Mercy. The reciprocity clause of the bitumi nous coal schedule, which, it is said, would result in the elimination of all duties on coal in the trade between Can ada and the United States, is likely to 8" oui oi tne Din. senators Elkins and Dick were before the committee todav in this connection, taking opposite sides. I'nder both the Dingley law and the Payne bill, bituminous coal pays a duty of 67 cents a ton. The Senate committee Is considering a reduction of the duty to about 50 cents. In view of the elimina tion of the reciprocity clause. The Payne bill places clum or slack coal on a par with bituminous coal, which would increase the rate it must pay from 15 cents to 67 cents. Mr. El kins submitted data indidcating that the present rate of 15 cents on slack coal is too low. He read letters from American agents in Canada and Australia assert ing that mines in those countries artifi cially crush hituminous ooal in order to make It admissible to the United States at the 15 instead of the 67-cent rate. Cut Lumber Rates In Two. It Is said the Senate committee will re duce the existing Dingley rates In lum .ber one-half. A canvass of the Senate indicates that an effort in the direction of getting free lumber. If made after the bill reaches the Senate, would be unavail ing. The canvass on the question of hides was concluded today and it L asserted that, as a result, hides will be taken rrom the free list and a' duty fixed at 15 per cent ad valorem. That wool of all grades and wool tops would be placed in the Senate bill un der the existing rates was stated upon what appears to be excellent authority. About half the membership of the Sen ate was banked in front of the commit tee rooms before the committee began its sessions today. The Senators pro posed changes in a variety of schedules from acetate of lead to zinc. Several Coast Senators were there asking for increased protection on citrus- fruits. Senator Dixon asked the committee to place a duty upon iron from which anti mony is reduced. WIU Cut Short Debate. Democratic members of the committee will get their first view of the rates fixed by the majority at a special meeting of the full committee to be held Sunday. Aldricu Intends to report the amendments Monday. The draft of the administrative feature of the Senate bill has been completed, but not revised as yet by Aldrich. When this has been done he purposes to have it examined carefully by President Taft. Secretary MacVeagh and Attorney-General Wickersham. particularly as to the customs administrative features. This portion of the bill will be presented to the Senate as an amendment. Aldrich will not accompany the bill with a formal report. On this account the Democrats will not submit a minority finding. This likely will do away with prolonged debate. ADMIT WORKS OF ART r FREE Senate Committee Yields to Argu ments or Lodge and Aldrich. WASHINGTON. April . Free art. the dream of American collectors of foreign masterpieces in paintings and sculpture, was virtually secured tonight by the adoption in the Senate committee on finance of an amendment to the tariff bill which will admit these treasures without restrictions of any kind. The acceptance of this amendment Is a per sonal triumph for Lodge and Aldrich. Under the Payne bill, paintings in oil, water colors, pastels, pen and ink draw ings and statuary handwrought from solid blocks of marble, bronze or other material used in the carving of fine statues, were to be admitted upon the payment of 20 per cent ad valorem. An exception was made of paintings and statuary 20 years old. Thev were placed on the free list. Collectors pro tested that this would shut out modern works of art. The passage of such a provision as is proposed would bring to this country the art treasures owned by Americans and exhibited abroad, such as the unequalled collection in London of J. P. Morgan. Lodge has introduced five different measures in as many different Con gresses placing paintings and statuary on the free list. PETITION" OF GLOVEWOKKERS Ask Same Duty on Women's as on Men's Gloves. GLOVKRSVILLE. N. Y., April 9 Glove workers from 168 factories In Johnstown and Gloversvllle N Y have sent 63 separate petitions to the finance committee of the United States Senate, asking the same protective rates on women s gloves as on men s, so that the ?!arKuaftU,re. f women's gloves may be established in this country. as has been the manufacture of men s gloves. The petitions say employment will be given to many thousands more glove workers at wages more than double the rate in Europe. It is asserted that the cost of gloves to the consumer would be reduced rather than advanced. Taft Receives Protests.
