PROB PASS BILL Body Not Strong Enough However to Pass Over Executive Veto BT J. BART CAMPBELL f STAFF CORRESPONDENT I. N. SERVICE WASHINGTON. Jan. 8. The senate rrobably will pas tha emergency tariff bill but It is equally probable the senate will not pass the measure over the president's, expected veto Senator Oscar V'. Underwood, of Ala., democratic minority leader of that body, predicted today. Senator Under, wod declared emphatically he was certain the bill, even in an amended form, would not become a law. He ridiculed the reported possibility of enough democratic senators from agricultural etates flopping to the supvorters of the bill to change the final Jesuit of the bittr flgbt being waged to put it through. He estimated the bill would not receive more than eight democratic: votes' la the senate, or far Trcm enough to enable the republicans, with their present slim maojrlty, to sjm It through over the president's veto. As the result of a careful canvas he his made of the situation in the sen. ate, he is convinced. Senator Underwood said, the bill would: First Be favorably reported by the i c publican-controlled senate finance ommittcc, probably in an amended torm. Second Be discussed at length on lie senate floor, although its demoratio opponents would not engage in any "organised filibuster" against it. Third Be pesaed by the senate, probably in a much amen.'rd form intended to take care of manufacturing si well as agricultural interests !n oroer to Insure republican 3oltda.ru-. Fourth Be sent to a conference of linking members of tko senate finatic,' fend th house ways and means committees at which the final form of the till will be determined. fifth Be accepted by the senate and house as agreed to in the house and sent to the president. Sixth Be voted by the president. Seventh Be relegated to the limbo of congressional legislation vropos' J but unenacted after failure to uvsrj;de the presidential . eto. -Ml of this may happen soon, Senator Underwood" and a number of hiii democratic, colleagues declared. The v;na'e. finance committee will conclude on Tuesday next the hearings ou the bill it resumed today. It is expected The bill will be reported either ou that day or the day following. The j 'publicans hope to be, able to jam It through the senate. The democrats will fight for delay. They do nut. 1 ever, expect even the urgency of the appropriations bills soon to bo received by the senate from the house, io prevent its early passage. They are banking upon the president's veto and their ability to sustain that veto, to prevent the bill being -Britten into the statutes. Strong pressure is being brought upon them by agricultural and manufacturing interests to force them to jeverse themselves, as Senator Peni o3, republican, Pennsylvania, chairman of the finance committee, recrsed t imsel f.
