REOPEN TARIFF
 HEARING TODAY.
Agricultural Products SChed- ule to Be First Taken Up,
 Says PenroSe
By Associnted Preas

Washington. November 2.-The Sen ate finance committee is scheduled tomorrow to reopen public hearings on the permanent tariff bill, which was laid aside In September for the revenue bill. Chairman Penrose an uounced tonight that the first sched- ule to be taken up would be that of agricultural products and that at least the first days session would be devoted to rates on wool and wool en products.
 MT Penrose said also 1t was planned to take committee action on the resolution extending the emer- gency tariff. Action on the resoiu- tion which has been adopted by the House has been sought twice, but each time a quorum of the commit tee was lacking. Suggestions for rates on farm products decided upon by the agricultural sena torial group. will be presented to the committee as soon as it resumes work by Sen ators McNary. Oregon; Capper, Kan sass Johnson, California, and Good ing. Idaho.
 There were indications that some differences might arise in the com mittee with respect to the emergency tariff extension. Senator Mclean, re publican, Connecticut. committee member. has prepared an amendment designed to offset this disparity in exchange, but it was said that mem bers of the House ways and means committed, who originally put for ward the resolution extending the emergency law, were opposed to any changes and had gained support for their views among some finance com- mittee members.
 The extension resolution would continue the emergency law to Feb ruary 1 or until the permanent tariff rates have been enacted into law. House leaders are said to hold that while the differences in exchange should be corrected. an attempt to amend the resolution might result tn parliamentary delay. which woui ceuse the temporary tariff to lapse

 This announcement was made to- day by pr. H. c. Honnold, secretary of the association, who is sending copies of the injunction. accompanied by a memorandum. to all members.

 Frank Harrington, president of the United Mine Workers of Illinois. to- day sent out telegrams advising all miners to remain at work pending decision by the operators regarding tn injunctions.

 from mfners' wages as directed
 by federal court injunction.
 Indications were that union of dcials would not call out the men, scattered throughout the soft coal fields of the country, until collection of "check-off was actually ceased by the operators First official reports of action by operators, elsewhere than in Indiana, reached union head quarters tonight coming from the Pennsylvania bituminous district, centering around Pittsburg. The mes sage from Robert R. Gibbons, presi- dent of the district, said the check off would be stopped with the next pay day" the date of which was not SA SaN AhdASdbCQ d piOO- able delay In any strike order affect ing 10000 workers in that field.
 Do Not Wait for Order
 Indiana workers, however. did not withhold their strike to await for nal notice from the operators, whose notice stopping the 'check-off" has been drafted by counsel for their as- sooiation. None of the important mines in the state worked today and reports to both headquarters of opera tors and the union said that only It mines were in operation.
 The only court action today was the approval by Judge Anderson of 8 bond filed by the Borderiand Coal corporation. complainant in the in junction suit.
 The court action, followed by ser vice of the writ on union men and operators made the injunction effec- tive. Plans for hastening the appeal of the injunction decision to the cir cut court of appeals at Chicago were made by counsel for the union and the operators but preparation of the numerous documents in the case de- layed the presentation of their ap- peal to Judge Anderson. Counsel, regarded the appeal petition as perfunctory request, which would be approved by Judge Anderson as soon as presented, probably tomor- row.
