The Senate having refused to grant

featured the last few hours of the SEN
atc's consideration, as a committee of
the whole, of the Fordney -McCumber
tariff bill.
When the Senate adjourned tonight
the bill was reported to the Senate
proper. The committee of the whole
has had 1t under consideration for the
last four months. By the terms of
the unanimous consent agreement en-
tered into last Saturday the bill will
be debated two days in the Senate
preliminary to the final vote next Sat
urday.
Party lines We're broken in the vote on
the dye embargo issue. Whereas four
teen Republicans previously had voted
for an embargo, only seven voted to-
night against rates which. their op-
ponents say, will mean an embargo
in fact. The Republicans opposing the
rates were Senators Capper (Kan.),
Kellogg tMinn.). Keyes IN. H). Len
root (Wis.). Moses (N. H., Newberry
(Mich) and Smoot tUtahl Five
Democrats voted in favor of y. rates.
They were Senators Broussard U4a),
Jones IN. NJ, Sheppard (Tex.),
Meyers (Mont) and Ransdell (La.).
Increase In Rates.
The high rates were proposed In an
amendment by Senator Bursum IN. NJ
on intermediates. or partly manufac-
tured ingredients for dye stuffs. The
rate Of the Finance Committee had been
cents a pound and SO per cent. ad
valorem. The Bursum amendment in
creased these rates to 101a cents pound
and T5 per cent. ad valorem. On
coal tar products the Finance Committee
rates had been cents pound and so
per cent. ad valorem. The Bursum
amendment increased these to 10h cents
pound and 90 per cent. ad valorem.
The Finance Committee had specified
foreign valuation. but the Bursum
amendment changes that to American
valuation. itself an increase.
Senator Wadsworth IN. Y.), chair
man of the Military Affairs Committee.
led the fight for the high rates. Senator
Smoot (Utahts second In control OF the
Finance Committee. and Senator Moses
IN. HI, who made a sensational attack
en- the socalled dye stuffa trust" sew
eral weeks ago. bitterly opposed them.
Senator Bursum's appearance In the
fight was complete surprise to the
Senate and 1t followed a conference he
had with l. A. du Pont. head OF the du
Pont interests. Leaders OF the dyestuff
industry were present at the Capitol In
such numbers that they completely filled
cne OF the Senate galleries.
Senator Moses reserved the right TO
take up the issue again in the Senate
tomorrow or Saturday. but II Is doubt
full whether he will press the matter
any further. He expressed the view
tonight that one section Of the Bur-
sum amendment, giving the President
the right to review the rates and lower
them IL II seems warranted, would
remedy the situation from his stand
point
some Needed NO Help.
He has opposed an embargo. or any
application of general rates. which
would have that. effect. insisting that
while some specific dyestuffs might
need protection, others did not.
Under the unanimous consent agree

amendments were voted on. beginning
at 10 o'clock tonight. routine clear

The spirited arguments that kept up
all day and ran into the night were

down on the Capitol dome throughout
the day.
Few alterations were made In the bill

amendments. the Finance Committee.
