STATEMENT OF THE MANAGERS ON THE PART OF THE HOUSE.

The managers on the part of the House at the conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on the amendments of the Senate to the bill (H. R. 11471) to amend an act entitled "An act to reduce tariff duties and provide revenue for the Government, and for other purposes," approved October 3, 1913, submit the following written statement in explanation of the effect of the action agreed upon by the conferees and recommended in the accompanying conference report:

The House recedes from its disagreement to the amendment of the Senate to the title of the bill with an amendment which makes the title broad enough to cover all the articles provided for in paragraphs 177 and 178 of the sugar schedule of the tariff act of October 3, 1913, and covered by the bill.

The committee of conference has been unable to agree on the amendment of the Senate to the bill providing that the present rates of duty upon sugar and kindred articles shall remain in full force and effect until May 1, 1920, and placing the above articles on the free list after that date.

LOAN OF SUPPLIES TO KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS
ENCAMPMENT.

APRIL 19, 1916.-Committed to the Committee of the Whole House on the state of the Union and ordered to be printed.

Mr. MCKELLAR, from the Committee on Military Affairs, submitted the following

REPORT.

[To accompany H. J. Res. 78.]

The Committee on Military Affairs, to whom was referred the joint resolution (H. J. Res. 78) authorizing the Secretary of War to loan certain tents, bridles, and saddles for the use of the national encampment, Knights of Pythias, to be held at Nashville, Tenn., in August, 1916, having considered the same, report thereon with a recommendation that it do pass, with the following amendment:

Insert after the word" tents," in line 2, page 2, of the joint resolution, the words "saddles and bridles."

This joint resolution was sent to the War Department for examination and report. The department did not recommend the joint resolution because, it was stated, a general law had been passed in 1913 limiting loans of this character to encampments of ex-Union and ex-Confederate soldiers. However, inasmuch as a precedent had been set as to this particular organization in loaning tentage, saddles, and bridles to it at its encampment at Terre Haute, Ind., several years ago, and inasmuch as the organization is quasi or semi military and national in character, it was believed by the committee that the Government should make the loan. A bond is required for the safe return of the property in good order and condition, and the Government is to be put to no expense on account of said loan.
