Feb 1. 1 letno. ratic , members of congress appear to be getting ready to lock borns on the permanent tar iff board situation, which republican lead ers are said to be lining little to discourage. The fscf that the democrats of both branches may be found In opposite camps was disclosed today when republican lead ers besnn a canvass to determine whether they can muster enough votes to pa.ss the house bill. It wss ssld more than half of the demo cratic sehators have announced they would oppose the measure. It also was said a democratic conference would be held soon and an effort made to line up the senate minority against the bill. When it passed the house a few nights ago this result was accomplished largely by democratic suport undor Representa tive Champ Clark. The t-enate opposition probably will be led by Senator Bailey. If Senator I'-alley and Representative Clark find themselves holding contrary views, as seems probable, the situation will be simi lar to their positions In regard to methods of revising the tariff. It was recalled today that when the two democratic leaders spoke at the recent har mony conference at Baltimore, Mr. Clark favored "piecemeal" revision of the tariff, while Sc nator Hailey supported the Idea of "blanket" revision.
