MAY RAISE THE TARIFF
TO BUILD UP DYE TRADE
Favors Legislation Against Dumping by Ger
many SO That the New American Industry
Will Be Protected.

WAsHINGToS. Sept 2-The Washing
ton Administration will probably take
steps that will give American
turers WHO use dyestufrs and cheml-
Gals relief from the embarrassmcnts
that have confronted them as a result
Of the suspended shipments Of such
products from Germany.
In normal times Germany practically
holds "A monopoly in the sale of dyes'uffs
and chemicals. and the United states.
as well as other countries, has grown
accustomed t. depend upon this source
OF supply.
It il beginning to be regarded here
as imperative that American manufac-
turers be protected from a recurrence
of the loss of time and money that
has resulted from their failure TO get
regular supplies Of chemicals n coal
tar products In recent months.
At the forthcoming session OF Con-
gless legislation probably will he urgeh
- encourage the development Of chcmi-
cal and dyestuf manufacture that will
assure "A steady output of such prod
! ucts II at any time In the future a
war should tie mp the Transatlantic
trade as it has in the past year.
