By Associated Press

Washington, May ll,---1He oehato late today passed the emergency tariff and anti-dumplng bill, retaining all amendments recommended by the H. nance committee, but rejecting those Individually proposed.
 The vote was 6S to 2S. Seven demo crats, Senators Broussard, Louisiana; Jones, New Mexico; Kendrick, Wyom- ing; Myers. Montana; Pittman, Neva- da; Ransdell, Louisiana. and Sheppard, Texas, voted with the republicans in passing the bill. Another democrat, Ashurst Arizona, who was absent, was announced as supporter. Only one republican, Senator Moses of New Hampshire, voted against the bill.
 As passed by the Senate, the meas ure differs radically from the form in which it was passed by the House early in the extra session, and now goes to conference. Only the tariff features of the bill were kept intact, the anti-dumping and currency reyalu- ation sections being entirely rewritten and the provision added for continual ton of the wartime restrictions on imports of dyestuffs.
 ALL SWEPT ASIDE
 Action by the Senate came at the end e of five hours of driving attack by dem ocratic leaders. The latter however. were not alone in their attempts to amend the measure, for several repub- ]icans made efforts to broaden the scope, only to See their amendments meet the same fate as those offered from the minority side of the cham Der. All were swept aside by practi- cally the same vote.
 Late in the day democrats concen- trated on the committee addition to the bll providing for continued federal control of dye importations Senators charged frequently that the amend ment, which was submitted to the com mittee by Senator Knox, republican, Pennsylvania, would create monopo- listic control Of the dye industry and turn over the consumers to "the wishes and will of one man." A roll call left it as part of the bill by the vote of 61 to 25.
 Senator King, democrat, Utah, was not content, however, and made an- other effort to strike out the dye pro- vision just prior to the vote on pass age. That failed also.
 WANTS INVESTIGATION
 The Utah senator after passage of the measure, announced he would of fer a resolution in the Senate to in vestigate the monopoly which he said existed and had now been permanent- ly entrenched by the Senate's actions.
 There were several attempts by some of the democrats who favored the measure to increase rates on particu- lar commodities. Senator Ashurst democrat Arizona, made a particularly hard fight to raise the rate on long staple cotton from ' cents, as fixed in the bill, to 20 cents. His amendme en [ was rejected, "A to '. Senator Jones' democrat New Mexico, sought to have the bill include hides within the scope of its protection, and drew forth the largest vote favoring the change that WAS recorded on any amendment. It was defeated. however, 36 to 49.
 The Jones amendment was given support by Senator Bursum, republi- can also of New Mexico, who in his maiden speech in the Senate declared that cattle hides were selling for s1 apiece, and 1t takes wagon load of them to pay for pair of shoes.''
 QUESTIONS SINCERITY e Senator Harrison, democrat, Missis- sfppi, in final onslaught on the bill challenged the republican supporters as to the sincerity of their desire to help the farmers. He then offered an amendment which would have exempt ed from the application of the anti dumping section all farming imple- ments and other equipment used by farmers. The Mississippi senator con tended that such change would ma terially aid the farmers. His proposi> ton was rejected without record vote.
 Tho following were selected to rep resent the Senate in conference with tho House: Chairman Penrose of the finance committee and Senators Mc- Cumber North Dakota. and Shoot utah, republicans; and Simmons North
