STRIKE MEDIAT0RS
 HAVE DIFFICULT TIES
Rx Asnoelated Press

Pawtucket, R. l., February lS-- Mediators who are trying to settle the textile strike in Rhode Island are confronted with various per plexities.
 In the first place they find it nee essary to treat with two distinct la bor bodies. In Pawtucket and the rest of the Blackstone valley the strike is being conducted by the United Textile Workers of America. In the Pawtueket valley 1t is in charge of the Amalgamated Textile Workers.
 The two strike areas are on oppo- site sides of the city of Providence and when the state mediation board held it's first meeting Saturday it was found necessary to have repre- sentatiyes present from the manu- lecturers of each valley and each union.
 The problems of the two valleys also differ in some respects. In the Blackstone valley many mills where there has been no reduction of wages or Iengthening of working hours are still running. All of the Pawtuck ct valley mills are affected by the strike.

Alleged Lobbying By Dye Interests
 To Be Investigated
By Associated Prees

Washington, February 19.--The Senate investigation of alleged lob bying by dye interests is scheduled to start tomorrow with the first day of the hearing taken up by state ments from Senator King, democrat. Utah. who introduced the inquiry resolution. and Senator Frelinghuy- sen. republican. New Jersey. whose amendment to the measure broadened the scope of the investigation to in- clude importers as well as American manufacturers.
 It was charged that American dye makers had combined to enforce the establishment of an embargo against the importation of coal tar dye and the chemicals used in their manufac- ture. The Frelinghuysen amendment made the alleged activities of import CTS of those products in connection with their fight against the embargo also a subject for consideration by the special committee, of which Sena- tor Shortridge, republican, California, is chairman.
