WASHINGTON, Aug. l2.-Senate FL
nance Committee Republicans. meet
ing with the Republicans of the House
Wars and Means Committee to-day, re-
ferred the question of dye embargo
10 q subcommittee, which is expected
20 report Monday. The committee.
made up of Senator's Smoot, of Utah.
and Dillingham;, of Vermont, and Rep
rssentatives Longworth. of Ohio. and
Frear. Of Wisconsin, will seek to de-
termine whether solution of the diff
culties over the dye embargo question
can ne reached.
Opponents OF dye embargo in the
committee predict they will win. but is
supporters do not concede this. They
believe the weight of the Auministra-
tions support for an embargo will be
felt strongly and decsively before the
committee reaches a final decision.
The committee took a step supporting
the embargo policy to-day when a
favorable report was ordered on the
the
dive embargo. This resolution doubt
less will be adopted by the Senate.
1t is in accordance with the wishes of
the President. who desired the dye
embargo extended, as we'll as the
emergency tariff measure.
Finance Committee Republicans
adopted the American valuation plan
with amendments which do not change
the House policy but make the plan
more specific Developments to-day
indicated long delay in the enactment
of the tariff bill. It was pointed out
that the Senate Finance Committee
would require much data from Treas
urY experts on prices and costs be-
fore making UP the rates and that this
may delay report for longer than at
first anticipated.
Following is text Of the provisions
relative to American valuation as
agreed on to-day.
