brought forward today by the senate
and house tax bill conferees, but fail-

- Talk immediately arose anew of a
possibility some of the conferees
might discuss the difficult task of ne
gotiating a tax bill compromise with
Piesident Roosevelt again. Democrat
ic conferees conferred with hiim last
week before he left on his South
western trip.
A two-hour morning meeting of the
conference committee broke up with
no semblance of any unanimity
among the conferees. The entire
time, they said, was spent on the key
corporation tax feature.

Despite the continued deadlock on
the tax bill, congrese. buckled down
to business all along the line else

Rpublican national convention.

Working to expidite action on the
latter when it comes .over from the
house, the senate interstate commerce
committee approved the legislation in
modified form during the day.
The .same committee likewise ap
proved a resolution to continue for a
year the office of federal co-ordina

Joseph B. Eastman, but with all regu
latory duties taken away.
After acting on dozen of bills of
secondary significance, the senate late
in the day called up the 1876,600,000
Wagner housing bill, but withhtid
consideration until tomorrow.
To give members a final chance to
get some of their pet measures
through, the house arranged for night
sessions tonight bn mnior measures,
such as private claim bills, that have
no national significance.
