Speaker Says It "Would Be Impos

Without Party " Agreement.
i Moore Assails Wilson. - '
WASHINGTON, Sept. 30. The Demo
cratic tariff revision bill left.the House
tonight on what the party leaders hoped
would be Its last journey to the Sen
ate. After many hours of debate the
House adopted the main cpnference
agreement on the bill. 254 to .103. al
most a strict party- vote, and by this
action gave its Indorsement to every
thing In the measure except the cotton
futures tax. ' .
At the end of a short but bitter fight
fpr the adoption of the report. Repre
sentative Underwood, the . Democratic
leader, succeeded in carrying through
the Smith-Lever cotton futures tax
amendment by a vote of , 171 to 16.
Democrats and Republicans voted on
this without regard to party and a
large portion of the . Democratic mem
bership from Southern states Joined, In
the vigorous demand that the whole
subject be carried over to another ses
sion of Congress. . ' ' ' ',-, t
- Futures Tax Rests With Senate.
The cotton futures tax question now
rests entirely, with.. the Senate. The
House concurred In the "Clarke amend
ment put Into the tariff bill by the Sen
ate, but added the Smith-Lever-Under-
wood plan as. another amendment. - TJn
. less the Senate will accept this change,
.which has the indorsement of the PresA
1 dent, the, -whole cotton - futures Tpjafts
will have to be considered again in the
Joint conference committee and again
reported to both houses of Congress for
action.
The conference report will be called
up In the Senate early tomorrow. Sev
eral Democratic Senators who are dis
. satisfied with certain features of the
bill began today a demand for Demo
cratic caucus to consider the conference
report before it is taken up in the
Senate. . ;
Reed Threatens to Bolt.
Senator Reed, of Missouri, insisted
that unless certain changes were made
in rates fixed by the conference com
mittee, he might vote against the re
port and the tariff bill on its final
passage. .
The history of the cotton futures tax
compromise amendment became a mat
ter of record before the day ended. Rep
resentative Underwood "said' President
Wilson had given it to him. Represent
ative Lever added that the basis of the
plan was a bill Introduced repeatedly
In the Senate by Senator Smith, ot
South Carolina, that he had asked the
Agricultural Department to put the
amendment in shape for the tariff bill
and that Postmaster-General Burleson
has perfected the amendment and given
it to the President.
Three ' distinct elements developed
among the Democrats in the cotton fu
tures fight. One branch, led by Repre
sentatlve Hardwick, of Georgia, de
manded that the whole subject be taken
out of the tariff bill and considered as
a separate . measure. Another section,
led by Representative Wingo, of Ar
kansas, insisted that the House accept
the language of the Clarke amendment
in the Senate. Representative Under
wood headed the supporters of the com
promise plan. Under its terms the cot
ton futures tax would be nominal on
actual trades, but all contracts would
have to specify Government grades of
cotton and trading would be regulated
closely. ' . . ,
Democrats Praise Bill.
The tariff bill Itself came in for
' praise from all Democrats.. Represent
ative Underwood declared that In its
perfected form its averages were lower
than either the House or Senate orig
inally had contemplated, and he in
sifted that business conditions in the
United States had prepared themselves
so carefully for tariff revision that
there would be little halt to business
progress or prosperity. .
On the final passage of the confer
ence report, embracing all of the bill
except the cotton tax. Representative
Donohue, Pennsylvania; Lasaro, Morgan
and Broussard of Louisiana; Democrats,
voted against It; while Representatives
Kelly, Pennsylvania; MacDonald. Mich
igan. and Rubley, Pennsylvania; Pro
gressives, and Manahan.' Minnesota ;
Stafford and Cary, Wisconsin, and Kent,
California; Republicans, voted with the
majority.
Speaker Clark took the floor In the
last moments before the vote to con
gratulate the President, Representative
Underwood and the Democratic party
on the success of the tariff programme.
He defended the caucus plan and ridl
culed a suggestion of Representative
Murdock that no tariff bills in the fu
ture would be drafted in this way.

"It would be impossible to pass a
