Little Prospect of President
Signing Tariff Bill Before
End of Week.
I
Washington.—More time has been
devoted by congress to the considera­
tion of the Underwood tariff bill than
ever before was given to the consid­
eration of any other tariff measure,
and the present special session has al­
ready run two weeks beyond the pre­
vious record for a special session, with
no end yet In sight There Is little
prospect that the Underwood bill can
be signed by the president prior to
September 20, tut if the bill becomes
a law on that day a total of 166 days
will have been consumed In Its con­
sideration and passage.
The longest previous special session
of congress was that of the sixty-first
congress, at which the Payne-Aldrich
law was passed. That session ran

bill through the house began with a
series of speeches for and against the
measure. The general discussion con­
tinued throughout day and night ses­
sions of the house until Saturday
night.
Chairman Glass, of the banking and
currency committee, father of the bill;
Representative Hayes, of California,
ranking member of the committee,
and Representative Murdock, of Kan­
sas, Progressive floor leader, opened
the debate for their respective par­
ties.
The measure was taken up in de­
tail for amendment Monday, and it is
expected the detailed discussion will
be extensive. Under the caucus ac­
tion of the Democrats, the possibility
that any change will be written into
the measure in the house is remote.
