LEADERS SEE TARIFF
 PUT THROUGH FRIDAY
Think Opposition Will Be Overcome at Session of
 Congress Tomorrow

Washington, Sept. 14-Prediction that the tariff bill, amended in ac- cordance with instructions given yes- terday by the house will be out of conference by tomorrow was made to- day by Chairman Fordney of the house managers. He said that the senate amendments repeating the dye embargo licensing law and placing potash on the free list would be ac- cepted.
 Although anticipating some opposi- tion from the majority side against the bill on the final vote to accept the conference report, republican leaders believed it would be put through the house
 Some observers thought the house action yesterday against continuing the dye embargo for one year and a duty of half cent pound of potash for three years had hastened final action on the measure by removing two of the major fighting points in senate consideration.

 Great Strike Is Over.
 The chairman's statement said:
 "As a positive disbeliever in the moral right and practical efficiency of railway strikes, am glad to know the strike has ended on part of the roads It is to be hoped that some plan of settlement can be agreed up- on for all the others The settlements sustain the transportation act and the theory of orderly procedure for the adjustment of labor troubles in the railway industry The decisions of the labor board stand unmodified by the appeal to economic and physical force All the questions upon which the strike was predicted will come back to the board if the parties de- sire to bring them there.
 If they should be at any time re- opened the board will accord them the fullest and fairest consideration without any spirit of vindictiveness

Russia, Rumania, Bulgaria and Other Balkan States Must Cooperate With Allies, London Says.
Soviets Protest Allied Ac- tion-Attack on Constan. tinople Threatened Eng. land Holding Troops in Readiness.

London. Sept. 14 (By the Associat- ed Press)-The impression is growing here that a Turkish peace can only be arranged in a large international conference in which Russia, Rumania, Bulgaria and the other Balkan states participate.
 This impression is based in part upon the renewed expression of Rus- sia's attitude regarding the straits of the Dardanelles as contained in her note of protest against the allied ac- tion in Constantinople, sent recently to Great Britain in which she de- mands the question be settled prim. arily by the powers that use the Black Sea as an outlet to the ocean.
 Anti-Christian Feeling
 Each day brings fresh reports of the intense feeling aroused in the Mo- hammedan countries by the Turkish victory in Anatolia with indications of determination to support the Turk ish claims with whatever means lie at their disposal. Reports from Brit ish India especially represent the Moslems there as greatly excited.
 Excitement in Palestine.
 The Daily Express today publishes Cairo dispatch quoting information just received of equally intense ex- citement in Palestine. News of the Russian soviets note of protest against the allied action in Constan- tinople had not reached there when the dispatch was filed. but 1t will fall on soil prepared to receive 1t and add to the prevailing alarm. Fear of an attack on Constantin- ople by the Turkish nationalists be- fore the allies can reach an agree- ment has brought tp the front the question of the whereabouts of the main Kemalist army which apparent ly never entered Smyrna. This army may be on its way to the straits by secret forced marches.
 Turkish Demands Same
 One fact is coming to be realized in London, namely that the Turks have never changed their demand since the publication of the national pact of 1919 and ratified at Sivas in August of that year Mustapha Renal Pasha and his adherents in the nat. lonalist movement never wavered even during the blackest days of de- feat when last year the Greeks were pushing towards Angora. They main- tained they would live or die by the pact.
 Now that the nationalists have won, after three years of hardship and with many of their own people against them it Is not believed that .hey will surrender the fruits of their The question of the straits however the nationalists always re- yarded as a secondary one, which hey were anxious to have settled 1airly, to the satisfaction of Russia, and all concerned.
