Washington, March 27. Plans call for a vote on the Payne Tariff Bill on April 10 or 11, after initial votes on the most contentious schedules. Leaders seek separate votes on schedules such as wool, lumber, hides, crude petroleum, coal, iron ore, and manufacture, with Republicans preferring the bill be treated as a party measure. The Ways and Means Committee is amending the bill and scheduling votes on these amendments and the specified schedules. About 16 Democrats plan to back the bill for separate schedule votes. The House adjourns to meet from 10 A.M. to 6 P.M. with an 8 P.M. recess and a 10:30 P.M. adjournment.
