Washington, Oct. (i -Snmtf-r Ledge
had h long cenfejenc with l're.sideilf
Hnrdin? today. After it was ever it
was Indicated that the Republicans in
Hie Senate were new trying te reach nil
greement upon the Smoot m.inufaettjr-
r.s' sales tax.
Apparentlv the President is agreeable,
te this tax us a compromise measure if
neugh Republicans can le- gotten to
gether in its support te give it a ehnnce
of acceptance 1)7 the Senate. Want the
Presiden' is especially coi-rerticd ever
i the division in Republican ranks,
which imperils any tax legislation dur
ing this session.
Tf the Republican leaders can unlli!,
anything approaching n majority for n
liegram the President will use all hl)
'ritliience te lir.e up eneugli ether Rn-1-ublieans
te put the measure through.
Harding Holds Bach
The President ib being strongly urged
U go perienally te the Senate and urge

holding iff until a measure of jnlen
among the various groups in t'ic apper
house is In ight. He has been unwlll-.
ing te appear there in behalf nf seni"!
plan which will lie sulieiuetitlj de
feated. If the Republican Senators can agree
upon .1 tax bill and pass it the Presi
dent can be counted up'n te use all Ids
irfluence te ecnre its aeeept.tne'e by

The farm Senators desire te have the
