Senator Underwood today made his
fight against the administrations plan
to impose increased tariff duties on
dyestuffs after the European war in
order to encourage manufacturing at
home Of these sorely needed commodi-
ties, for which the country depends al
most entirely upon Germany. He de-
clared that the proposal was the en-
bodiment of the protective tariff prin-
ciple and that he was opposed to it
fundamentally. Senators Stone and
Hughes defended the proposal as GER
tain to relieve American manufactures
from the grip of a foreign monopoly.
The Senate sustained the administra-
ton plan 43 to T. Those voting against
it were Bankhead, Bryan. Lane Over
man, Reed, Underwood andVardaman,
all Democrats.
Tomorrow the Senate will complete
consideration of the bill to create a
tariff commission. 1t then will act on
an amendment by Senator Lewis en-
bodying the Webb bill to permit the
formation Of American collective SELL
ing agencies in foreign countries. The
bill then will be ready for a final vote

ing up it's affairs for the session and
planning to adjourn either Wednesday or
Thursday. Republican leaders in the

&c leaders have prepared a Joint resolu-
