WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-Actior
OF the Republican cOnferees in writing
back into the tariff bill a dye embargo
provision, after its rejection by both
house and senate, promises to lead to
fights IN both branches of congress.
Senator Moses, Republican. New
Hampshire, one of the leading senate
opponents of a dye embargo. declared the
provision would not remain in the bill
without a determined contest on the
senate floor. He said opponents could
not determine their line of action until
the completed bin had been made public,
but that either a point of order would be
made or a motion offered to send the
bill back to conference with instructions
to eliminate the provision.
Representatives Fish, Republican of
New. York, and Woodruff. Republican of
Michigan, We're to fight the embargo in
the house. Mr.. Fish declared his unal-
terable opposition to an embargo as con
trary to the principle of protection but
added that until he could study the pro-
vision and learn just how it was pro
posed to handle the conference report in
the house he could not determine upon
a line of action
Representative MondelI of Wyoming.
Republican leader in the house said YES
terday the conference report would not
be considered under a special rule. He
declared conference report under the
Jules must be voted up or voted down
and he and other Republican leaders an
tlclpated no serious opposition to the bill
as finally framed by the ma jority confer
eeS.
The Republican managers completed
their report on the measure yesterday
and planned to present it today in the
house. Inler the rules the report must
lie over Il day. so that it could not be
called up until tomorrow. Leaders gem
orally expected final action tomorrow or
thursday, as it was their understanding
that the Democrats did not plan Il pro-
tracted fight on the report
In the senate. however, the measure
was not expected to have as plain sail
ing. Aside from the opposition to the
chamber. It was understood that some
Democrats, at least, favored Il general
airing of the bill in its perfected form
General opposition to the bill from one
or two senator's on the Republican side
also was forecast. and some estimates
were that the bill might be under discus
sion for week or two.
Although the perfected bin is with
held until its presentation to the house.
