Democratic leaders of the Senate are shoving the tariff on the Re publicans. They are going to force them to a vote. The text of agreement reached today was drawn by Senators Simmons, Walsh, of. Massachusetts, and Jones, of New Mexico, all Demo crats. Senator MoCumber, the Republican leader, accepted it. Senator Simmons believed tnat the O. O. P. managers still hope to find some way out of their muddle. They want to escape a showdown vote before the Novem ber election. "I was greatly disappointed at the failure of our efforts to se cure a day certain for a vote on this bill," declared Mr. Simmons today. "I think from many stand points that would have been moat desirable but all efforts in that direction and we on this aide of the chamber were very persistent having failed and losing all hope of fixing a day for a vote, 1 some how reluctantly entered into nego tiations wnich resulted in the agreement now proposed. "I do not regard this as the very best way of approaching this matter, and I am afraid it will take a very much longer time to dispose of this bill under the agreement now proposed than any of ua now anticipate, but it is cer tain that the agreement will sub stantially curtail debate and that it will expedite final action on the bill in the Senate." j This concludes a most remark able performance.
