All the Democratic leaders as ' reed upon'the call of an ex?ra sesin, the only uncertainty being as to e date. Their position is that the i nge of subjects to be taken up at 1 e extra session can be determined on the basis of the incoming Pros- i rat's suggestion In his call for the 1 salon. As voiced by one 6f the 1 iders, If President Wilson should I U the extra session to consider the ) riff and the trusts, be probably will fairly governed by that recom- I radation, and the leaders point, in Is connection, to the last extra sos>n, which convened on April 4, as a 1 ?cedent for the ability of the house c imocracy to refrain from running i auck on general legislation when c lied for a specific purpose. a Views differ as to Just when the 1 tra session should begin. It la r derstood that the Democratic ma- r pity on the ways and means comttee, a number of whom were at ft 9 caplto] yesterday, favor the pol- t r of the President-elect withhold- y I decision as to the date of the ex- L i session until they have had an & portunity to close up the coming 2 Idfngs on the various schedules of t 9 tariff an dto frame the tentative t iff revision hill for the consideran and oci'on of the incoming Con- f see.
