CONFEREESON
TARIFF BILL
WIDELY DIFFER
Dyestuf And Anti Dumping
Provisions Stumbling
Blocks

WASHINGTON, May L. House
and senate conferences made little
progress today in effort to adjust
differences in the emergency tariff
bill. A two-hour session, while un-
derstood to have developed no bitter
fight, did not result in agrcemtnt on
any Of the differences.
The chief opposition offered by
house conferees was TO the senate
provision continuing wartime control
over importation Of dye-stuffs, Sen
ator Penrose, republican Pennsyl-
vania, chairman Of the conference
stated. He said also that the house
members were not satisfied with the
anti-dumping section Of the bill az
rewritten by the senate.
The bill a. passed by the senate
would authorize the secretary of the
treasury to apply the anti-dumping
provisions only where the need il
apparent. while the house provision
would compel customs officials to
make a complete investigation into
every kind of merchandise received
from abroad, 10 determine whether
its shipment here constituted dump
ing
Mr.. Penrose said he did not believe
radical differences existed between
the house and senate members Of the
conference and expressed the opin-
ion that an agreement would be
reached early next week. Another
attempt to adjust the differences
will be made Tuesday.

No more squeezing and pinching

the blackheads for a few seconds
wash the parts and every blackhead
will be gone.
