DYES PROTECTED
in TARIFF BILL
Senate Committee Makes
Drastic Changes in Emerg-
ency Bill From House.

Drastic changes in the emergency
tariff bill as 1t passed the House
have been made by the Senate
Finance Committee. which COM
pleted. work on the bill yesterday
The committee adopted Senator
Knox's amendment to give protec-
tion to the American chemical and
dyestuffs industries during the Pc
riod between the declaration OF
peace and the enactment of a gen
eral tariff law. This protection will
be accomplished under Senator
Knox's amendment by extending
the powers of the War Trade Board
for a period of six. months. This
board Is transferred from the State
to the Treasury Department, which
administers the customs laws.
Another amendment prohibits en-
try into the country of commodi-
ties shipped by any foreigner who
shall refuse to open his books and
accounts to an authorized American
inspector. This is intended to pre-
vent undervaluation. The present
penalty for such refusal is an ad-
ditional Is per cent duty.
The committee had previously
struck out the foreign exchange
provision. limiting to Sc 2-3 pei
cent the allowance to be made foI
depreciation of foreign currency
Another meeting. of the COMMITTEES
was called for Saturday to prepare
report to accompany. the bill
which Senator Penrose said would
be reported not later than Monday
and passed next week, he pre-.
dicted.

GRAIN EXCHANGE
HEAD APPROVES
REGULATION ACT
Griffin Favors Capper
Tinciler Bill With
Some Changes.

The Capper-Tincher bill for the
regulation Of grain exchanges was
endorsed in principle yesterday by
Joseph p. Griffin. president of the
Chicago Board of Trade, testifyinr
before the House Agriculture Com
mittee.
Mr.. Griffin criticized the bill in
some of its details and offered nu-
merous suggestions for its modifica-
tion. Heto Id the committee that
the Chicago Board of Trade had al
ready undertaken to carry out most
Of the reforms proposed by the
measure. notably by abolishing in
demnity transactions.
Needs Amendment.
Il take it that the only one of
the many bills offered in this CON-
nection that is receiving serious
consideration of the COMMITTEES is
the Tincher BILL" said Mr.. Grifin.
The other bills which have been
proposed are destructive, they
would destroy the existing marke
ing machinery. The Tincher bill
has many elements of constructive
value In principle we endorse it:
in precise detail it needs amend
ment largely to meet practical de-
velopmepts in the grain tarde."
Mr.. Griffin read extracts from the
report OF the board of directors of
the Chicago Board of Trade on
April IL recommending numerous
chances in the rules regulating
grain transactions along the lines
of the Capper-Tincher bill. He told
the committee he was pleased to
note that the Capper-Tincher bill
recognized the necessity for hedg-
ing because he said there can be
no hedging without future trading
and there can be no future trading
without speculation"
Favors Hedging.
He defended both hedging and
speculation. "A market without
hedging would be like Hamlet with
out Hamlet" he said. 1T couldn't
exist. The fluctuations in the grain
business would wipe out the capital
of every dealer If there, were no
hedging"
Mr.. Griffin said that although the
tions would involve a great sac
rifice on the part of some dealers,
he believed this should be done be-
cause such transactions led to
"overspeculation."

Hughes Confers With
British, French, Bel
gian Officials.
PRELIMINARIES ARE
NOW ."OUT OF WAY"
Dissatisfaction Cause of
Expectation Ruhr Will
Be Invaded. "
BY ROBERT ). BENDER.

The United States government Is
progressing with its reparations
discussions.
Following the formal British,
French. and Belgian announcements
yesterday that the actual terms OF
the latest German proffer were un-
satisfactory, 1t was explained on
high administration authority that
the question involved was not the
acceptability OF the German terms
themselves, but, rather. whether the
German advances constituted a basis
from which negotiations might be
carr. ed forward.
Clarifying Steps Likely.
The next - twenty-four hours.
therefore. are expected to bring
some clarifying steps in the United
States-allied maneuvers. Meantime
the outstanding developments are:
/. Secretary Hughes conferred at
the state Department with the Brit
ish and belgian ambassadors and
the French counselor, Ambassador
Jusserand being out of the city.
While no Official comment was OBJ
tainable from any of the Isfrties,
1t is assumed the discussions en-
braced the next move in the prob
lem. following rejection of the Ger
man terms.
PreliminarIes Finished.:
Gable dispatches covering The
French foreign Office announcement
and Premier Lloyd Georges declara-
tion in the Commons that the Ger
man terms were unacceptable and
inadequate were regarded here as
disposing of the preiiminaries.
3-That these utterances in allied
capitals had not closed the door
completely on the possibility OF con-
tinuing negotiations was sugg ested
in high administration quarters here
and also in cable diypatches' from
London and Paris stating thas the
latest German note would be con-
sidered by the allied supreme coun-
ril meeting Saturday. In addition.
significance might be attached to ythe
fact that while rejecting the Ger
man terms per Sc. most of the allied
governments do not specifically re-
ject the idea of using the German
advances as a point from which 10
proceed toward a possible solution.
Disapproval No Surprise.
Formal announcement of allied
disapproval of the German terms
caused no surprise here. As stated
in these dispatches yesterday. the
fact that many of the provisions
would never be swallowed by Eng
land and France was we'll realized
at the first reading of the note. The
question, therefore, as now con-
frmed, has not hinged on that point
at any time since the note arrived
at the State Department. The whole
negotiations, so far as desired re-
suits are concerned, have ,centered
upon whether there was enough in
the German proposal to warrant
going ahead and making the terms
satisfactory.
A decision. finally disposing of
what course is to be taken. may not
be reached in time to prevent
French occupation of the Ruhr. II
not, there Is reason to believe that
negotiations may continue regard
less of the French advance. That
the French will go into the Ruhr
is believed certain here.
