In the meantime further down

Whether these reports will be

DYE EMBARGO
ADVOCATES
Lose OUT
s e n a t e Refuses to
Continue Licensing
S y S t e m. Contro-
versy Not Ended

Washington, July 15.-Dye man
ufacturers Of the country failed to-
day in the fourth phase of their
long fight to have the existing. dye
embargo and licensing system con-
tinued after the coming into force
of the administration tariff bill.
The senate, by vote of SO to 81,
struck out provisions of the meas
ures under which the embargo
would have been continued one
year and might have extended for
any part of an additional year at
the discretion of the president.
!. This does not end, however, what
has come to be bitter contro-
yersy in congress. Senator Freling-
huysen, Republican, New Jersey,
announced that he would offer. the
embargo provision anew after the
tariff had been reported to the
senate.
Meantime Senator Bursum, Re-
publican, New Mexico, IS preparing
an amendment continuing the EN-.
barge system for a year or more,
but with a provision requiring that
the profits of the dye manufac-
turers in excess of 10 per cent be
paid into the federal treasury.
A number of those voting against
the embargo today supported 1t a
year ago, when the present act was
passed but they explained that
they believed the necessity for a
law had cased to exist. On the
other hand senator's supporting the
finance committee amendment con-
tending that an embargo is neces:-
sary to protect not only to- the dye
industry but also to insure the
perpetuity of the chemical indus
try as means of national defense.
With. Senators Lenroot, Republi-
can, Wisconsin; Simmons. Demo
crat, North Carolina. and Smith,
Democrat, South Carolina, leading a
fight to that end, the committee
majority agreed to and the senate
approved reductions in proposed
duties on cotton cloths so as to
keep them in line with the general
reductions made by the senate in
the duties on yarns entering into
such cloths.
On unbleached and uncolored
cloth, containing yarns with aver
age number of which does not ex-
ceed No.. so, the senate approved
minimum duty of 10 per cent
ad valorem, and a minimum Of so
per cent on cloth containing yarns
of an average number in excess of
No. so.
Rleached cotton cloth containing
yarns the average number of
which does not exceed No. so would
bear minimum duty of Is per cent
ad valorem and that containing
yarns with average numbers in ex-
cess of No. so would bear mini
mum of S3 per cent.
Cotton cloth printed, dyed or
woven figured containing yarns not
in excess of Is per cent and that
containing yarns in excess of No.
so would bear a minimum of 30
per cent.
Opposing the 40 per cent rate
Senator Simmons declared thi: was
a "plundering and outrageous" tax
on the American people which
could not be justified because the
amounts of imports was small. He
said that they were not eompe-
titive with American products but
merely were supplementary to them
