UNDERWOOD ANSWERS CHARGE Consideration of Metal Tariff Bill li Taken Up In House, and Dem--ocrats Will Attempt to Force" Its Passage V Washington, Jan. 20. The ;tari revision fight opened in the House to day, when consideration of the-metol tariff hill was taken up, as : the first of the measures which the Oemocratc leaders will attempt to force through Congress. Attacked by ; the Republic can side as a departure from Demo cratic pledges, and as llnely to Be . de structive to American labor and In dustry. the bill went through five hour 3 of stormy debate, which ; will be re sumed tomorrow. About 20 Insurgent Republican mem bers met tonight at the House office building and discussed the measure. Although no definite action . was ta kn the concensus of opinion at the conclusion of the conference -was that the insurgents would align themselYe3 with the Democrats In support of it Heiilying to charges that the Dem ocrats had "abandoned the farmer," by not putting agricultural machinery cn the free list in the bill, Chalrmin rnderwood, of the Ways and ,Mears Committee, retorted that it was not a part of the metal schedules of the tariff. "We have put here every item that, relates to the metal schedule' .sa'.d lr. Underwood. "It has been charg ed that this bill will let cheap Chines pig iron in large quantities on the Pa cific coast. The gentleman; -who makes such charges ought to .kno' that the matter of freight rates alone if, enough to keep foreign Iron and steel out of the Mississippi. Valley and all of that, great territory, - where- the American producer has a natural ina nopoly. " 1 : ' '- "The iron and steel industry does not need any protection. We have put these rate3 just as low as we :can, and still secure a fair amount of .rev enue for the support of the govern ment. We are not attempting to pro tect the profits of the steel manufac turers any more than we would try to Drotect the nrofits of the' banker c the grocer." , Representative Dalzell. of Pennal vania, representing the Republican mi nority on the Ways and Means Cora' mittee, demanded of the Democrats why they had not fist Introduced tl: wool revision bill? The metal sched ule, he said, "was cut to the bone" :. the Payne-Aldrich law of 1909, while the Democrats had decided that the 'wool tariff was the most unreasonable ol all in the tariff code of the coun try. 1 "Are you afraid to encounter the an taRonism of the 'Peerless Leader," no demanded, "or is it not a fact that tac magnificence of the tariff board- has convicted you of insincerity?" . ' Mr. Dalzell paid his compliments tc another Democratic leader, ubverhor Woodrow Wilson. He quoted,. an ar ticle of Governor Wilson's which. cred ited the majority of ! the Way8 and Means Committee of ! the House with the making of all tariff bills . and the extermination of what amendments, If any, would be permitted in the bill. - "That was written by the then Pres-f went or Princeton Univeisity," ne suid. "That is what he thought at the time he wrote. What he thinks about row, 1 do not know, since the gentle man in the meanwhile has been dis tinguished as the most expert light ning change artist who ever, by 'hi? r.ntics, contributed to' the joy of a po litical vaudeville." I ' A crowded house listened for two hours to the opening speech by Rep resentative Palmer, of Pennsylvania, who explained the bill on behalf of the majority memberd of the Ways-and Means Committee. Mr. .Palmer said the measure would stimulate competition, by permitting a sngni increase in imports of metal pro- mm and at somewhat lower prices. n ueniea it would have any effect up on wages or' upon established indus- mes. I . Kepresentative Hill, Republican, of yw o:k, declared I that the placing i typewriters, lino machines, casb reg isters and other articles on the free lhi will result in the removal of Amer- icun plants to foreign soil where their sods cou'd be made cheaper, while "le patents would niWent nnv rArinft.
