Underwood Faces Decision on Excise Measure
Washington July 27 The Ways and Means Committee chaired by Underwood could not say what action the house or committee would take on the excise bill as passed by the senate. The senate added amendments restoring the tariff board and repealing the Canadian reciprocity measure. A Democrats caucus may be called to gauge sentiment before deciding whether to pass the bill or send it to conference. The tariff board amendment draws strongest opposition among Democrats who say it helps President Taft delay tariff revisions. The Senate wool bill, identical to a prior Senate measure, has not been acted on by the committee.
