for speedy conclusion of work on
the tariff hill got under way with
completion of action on amend

would make a motion, if neces

the morning untiL 10 o'clock at
night beginning ' tomorrow, ' but
excluding Saturdays.
Leaders of the coalition of de

tariff struggle, joined Smoot In
support of night meetings, which
have been resorted to near the
end of all congressional tariff
debates.
Other Plans For

The plan for night sessions
arose after repeated attempts to
speed action by limiting debate or
by meeting earlier in the day met
objections. A move by Senator

amendments to ten minutes for
each senator was blocked by Sen
