Democratic Majority of Ways

Agrees to Abide by
Decision.
COMPROMISE SUGAR
' AGREEMENT LIKELY
Underwood's Action in Turn
ing Draftof Measure over
for Sedate Examina
tion Unusual.
; By Associated Press.
Washington, April 5. The demo
cratic majority of the ways and means
committee voted unanimously today
to agree to-President Wilson's linal
decision as to the sugar schedule and
adjourned until Monday. It will agree
either to free Bugaf or a low duty to
be eliminated entirely in three years.
President Wilson is expectd to make
his decision today. . t , .
The new tariff bill underwent a
careful examination today at the
hands of members of the senate fin
ance committee, ; While the anti-free
sugar forces from Louisiana and other
cane and beet sugar states were mak
ing an effort to rally enough strength
to defeat President .Wilson's compro
mise plan, the senate leaders were an
alyzing ull contested, parts of the bill
so they can tell President Wilson to
morrow whether they can accept it
without change. .
The action of Chairman Underwood
of the ways and means committee in
turning the committee's bill over to
the senate for "examination Is almost
unprecedented in tariff history, It Is
claimed. Senate leaders insisted they
should be consulted In the prepara
tion of the tariff revision and Presi
dent Wilson has mf ,'fforts to bring
the .seuate,noUstt.'.ficr White iloug.
Into accord on the: bill- before it Is In
troduced. While the house tariff
makers have exercised tneir constitu
tional right to prepare the tariff re
vision bill, it will be made satisfac
tory to tho president and the senate,
it is snid, before being introduced. In
dications today were that President
Wilson's compromise plan- on the su
gar tariff probably.' will be-accepted
finally In the senate. This proposes to
reduce the present duty of 1.34 cente
per pound on Cuban sugar to one
cent a pound. Cuban sugar Is allowed
to enter at "0 per cent less duty than
sugar from other countries. At the
end of three years it is proposed to
admit all sugar free of duty.
Chairman Underwood today reiter
ated that the committee had complet
ed its long task and that any change
suggested by the president could be
made In a few minutes.
"All tariff legislation Is compromlBe
legislation," said Mr. Underwood.
"When our bill goes to congress It
will have the unanimous endorsement
of the committee."
The committee today also consid
ered administrative features of the
bill. The bill will eliminate the max
imum and minimum tariff of the pres
ent' law and authorize the president to
negotiate reciprocity treaties with na
tions willing to make tariff conces
slons to the United States. Such treu
ties, however, must have the approval
of both houses of congress. It Is said,
