SENATE FACES FLOOD
OF TARIFF PROPOSALS;
Time LIMIT ABOUT UF

WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.-With only
two days and a night left in which to
work the senate was faced today with
flood of amendments to the admin
istration tariff bill, which is to be
brought to final vote late tomorrow.
Renewal of the sugar, dye and other
fights which have occupied the SEN
ate from time to time during the last
four months was promised.
| Advocates of a dye license embargo
won what was described as an almost
complete victory last night with the
] approval by the senate of an amend
ment providing that duties on coal tar
dyes and chemicals comparable with
/ those produced In this country should
be based on American valuation. The
duties were made Is percent and 1011
cents a pound on intermediates and 80
percent and 10k cents a pound on fin
ished products.
Senator Moses, Republican, New
/ Hampshire, one of the chief opponents
fof an embargo, gave notice that he
would demand another vote on these
duties, which represent substantial in
i creases over those previously ap
proved. Under the provisions of the
measure as first written the duties
would have been based on foreign val
uation with the president given auth
ority to change to American valuation
and to increase the duties by so per
cent.

MINE LABOR CHIEF
PREDICTS BIG OUTPUT
in OHIO COAL FIELDS
(By United Press)

COLUMBUS, Aug. 1S.-By the end
of next week a majority of Ohio's coal
mines will be producing very close to
their normal output, Lee Hall, presi-
dent of Ohio miners, believed today.
The coal strike, in effect for four
and one half months, is practically at
a close so far as Ohio is concerned and
complete mine peace throughout the
state is expected within few days.
The big break in direction of a set
tlement came late yesterday when
Southern Ohio operators, the last to
yield, decided at conference here tC
leave it up to individual operators tc
sign the Cleveland mine agreement
Operators Gather
AS a result, there was a literal flock
ing of operators to the headquarters Of
the United Mine Workers, where
President Hall and Secretary G. w
Savage were busy signing them to the
agreement which was reached a
Cleveland several days ago and which
broke the backbone of the strike.
When checking up was made early
! today, it was found that only two
large operators in the Ohio fields haC
not yet signed or signified their in
CenLlOnS 10 sign.
Two Still Unsigned
The two still unsigned are the Pitts
burgh Coal company and the New
York Coal company. The Pittsburgh
company, in which Secretary of tn,
Treasury Mellon is power. has beer
one of the principal obstacles in tn
path of the mine strike settlement 70

! claimed.
Two other large companies operat
ling in Ohio, the Sunday Creek Goa
company, and the Ohio Galleries CON
pany, did not sign the agreemen

dent Hall late last night that thei
Representatives would sign up today

ANTHRACITE PEACE
(Bv Associated Pressl

bers of the negotiations committee of
anthracite miners and operators, each
with a sincere determination to effec-
tuate an adjustment if at all possible, -
to quote the words of the joint state
ment issued at the conclusion of yes
terday's parleys, were to meet again

continued to hold the optimistic at
tltude manifested after the first confer
ence, but both turned deaf ears to
questions, declaring that the joint
statement was all that could be said
at present.

anthracite board of Cancellation and
secretary of the meeting, said: "The
statement is all l have to say at pres
ent. Mr.. Warner and Mr.. Lewis both
! have agreed to remain quiet about the

committees"
The main issue involved concerns
wages. In a pre-conference announce
ment the operators agreed to take
back the miners at the old wage scale
while the miners waived their demand
for 20 per cent increase.
! Differ on Term
It was understood, however, tha
the operators would only extend thl
old scale agreement until next April
whereas the miners desired a long
term contract if they agreed to re
sumo work at the former rate. TIL,
point was understood to have bee,
made that if mining were to be re
sumed with the old scale standin;
only until April another suspension
then might have to be faced. Min,
workers officials were said to be il
favor of two to three-year agree
ment.
