FIGHT OVER TARIFF
NEAR END IN HOUSE
Vote on Fordney Bill Due Late
Today-Passage Pre-
dicted.

Compensatory duties on textiles
manufactured from long staple cot
ton were denied by the House today
In line with it's action yesterday in
refusing compensatory duties on
leather products. The vote of 122 to
so represented a coalition OF repub-
licans with democrats to defeat the
proposition.
Vote Expected Today.
The end of tn etariff fight in the
House was due today.
A vote on the Fordney bill was
scheduled for late in the day with
Of the heavy republican majority
which thus far has supported the
measure as whole.
There were prospects for bitter
last ditch fight, however. over some of
the contested sections of the bill
the final o. X. is placed on the bill.
Leather Tariff Killed.
The House late yesterday killed a
proposed tariff on shoes and other
leather goods which would have off,
set the increase in the price of raw
products occasioned by the duty on
hides. No further action can be taken
on that under the special rule, and
the free hides advocates expect to re-
verse the action which put tariff
on hides.
Defeat Of the oil tax by the House,
sitting as committee of the whole,
was regarded as somewhat decisive.
and to restore 1t to it's place on the
dutiable list would require the chang
ing of considerable number of votes.
Representative Chandler. republican.
Of Oklahoma. who sponsored the oil
tax, was confident, however, that the
rates of 35 cents a barrel on crude
and 25 cents a barrel on fuel Oil
could be replaced in the bill. although
opposition leaders were just as GER
tain that the oil tax was dead.

 Half Its Diplomatic Jobs

WASHINGTON, Nov. ,. -- Half of the much-souSht for diplomatic plums have now been given out by the Hard ing administration. Of the forty-siX positions listed under the heading. Embassies and Legations of the United States" the president has thus far designated twenty-three appoin, tees
 Of the remainder there are still two embassies and twenty legations to be disposed of, and as one high official recently remarked, there is no dearth of material from which to draw"
 The ambasaadorial posts which have been filled are Brazil, where the Will son appomtce, Edwin V Morgan. was retained; Chile by Dr. w. Miller Col Her. France by Myron r Herrick: Great Britain by Colonel George liar yey; Italy by Richard Washburn Child; Spain by Cyrus Woods. and Ja- pan by Colonel Charles B. Warren The. two recognized embassies to which an ambassador is yet to be appointed are Argentina and Belgium.
 With the ratification of the peace treaties President Harding will be cn- ablcd to nominate ambassadors to Ger many and Turkey. The latter post has by unwrittea law always gone to a member of the Jewish faith. The dis. memberment of Austria as result of the war will probably mean the lower inE of our post at Vienna from an cm- bGssy to n legation. The appointment of an ambassador to Mexico waits upon the recognition Of the Obrogon government there by the United States, and no one can predict when the embassy at Petrograd will be re. stored.
 The legations that have been filled and the appointees of the Harding ad- ministration are: Bulgaria, Charles w. Wilson; China, Dr. Jacob Gould Schur- man; CzechO-Slovakia Lewis Einstein (promoted); Denmark. Dr. J. D. Prince; Finland. Charles l.. Kagey; Guatemala. Roy Davis; Nicaragua,
