Dupont de Mours Company the Textile Alliance. the American Dyes Institute and vari- ous individuals connected with the dye industry in this country, marked senate debate today on the provisions of the tariff bill under which the present dye embargo licensing system would be con tinued for at least one, and possibly two years.
 Discussion of the provision. whf,h was strongly supported by Senator Freling- huysen, republican, New Jersey. had not been concluded when the senate recessed, but a vote was expected tomorrow.
 The embargo provisions was attacked by Senators Moses, republican. New Hampshire. and King. democrat, Utah. Senator Moses undertook to show the in- terlocking interests of the Chem.ral Foundation. the Dupont company and the Textile Alliance in the dye business of the country. He charged that their subsidiaries, officers, stockholders, lob
 byists and paid prr;qgand;sts" had been the most aggressive Of all the ''in- solent profiteering crew. that had push
 ed the embargo legislation.
 Senator Moses a,sa undertook to show
 that the Chemi-al Foundation had ob-
 tained through misrepresentations the executive order of Acting Secretary of
 State Polk. in February, 1919. by which
 it was authorized to license seized enemy ,, patents and trademarks for dyes and many other chemicals. and charged also 1 that Francis P. Garvan. as alien prop erty custodian, had sold these patents
 and trademarks to himself as head of
 the foundation for S250.O00, a mere frac-
 tion of their true value.
 Another charge by Senator Moses was that the Chemical Foundat:on and some of the dye interests had used government agencies. the bureau of eduration and the chemical warfare section of the war department, for sDrea ding their pro- paganda' over the country. Also he as- serted that the Dupont company and the National Aniline and Chemical company l which. he .dec.ared. constituted the mon l cpolistic feature of the; five interests had

Washington state, and in Mingo coun- ty, West Virginia
 They were satisfied tonight that the government either cannot or will not force mine owners now producing coal in these territories to come under the edict of the proposed federal wage fixing body, and are consequently disposed to let the strike go forward until the sit uation is changed.
 ! There is also union objection to sub hitting certain union policies, especially that of the ''check-off' by which it's dues are collected through the mining com pany payrolls to such arbitration. The main point, however, arises in fixing the area to be covered
 Bituminous employers, although their answer is not expected to be filed until Monday, and the unions formal answer may also fail to appear before then, are expected to accept the arbitration offer at. least conditionally.
 The meeting of representatives of non union coal operators with Secretary Hoover, scheduled for today, to discuss means of curbing mounting coal prices in some sections, was postponed until the early part of next week. 4

Miners VIII Reject
 Harding PeacePlal
Union Heads Will Recom- mend Refusal of Arbitra- ton Offer to Their Policy Committee at Its Meeting Today.

Washington, July 14-A practical certainty existed tonight that the United Mine Workers of America will refuse President Harding's offer of arbitration to settle the coal strike. both bituninous and anthracite. John L.. Lewis, president of the union, w M. Greene, secretary treasurer and Phillip Murray. vice pres ident, left final conference at the White House with President Harding and Secre- tary Davis late today determined, it was understood to recommend a refusal of the governments offer to the union policy committee which will meet here tonor- row.
 The expected refusal, it was said, will apply to the anthracite mines as well as the biturninous, although employers in the anthracite region have accepted the presidents offer practically without con dition. The union viewpoint is that the anthracite fields, with their potential production of two million tons of coal a week, should not resume work, because this coal supply along with non-union production of bituminous would lessen public pressure for strike settlement.
 The only light cast upon the govern
 mems possible further course was a
 White House declaration today.that Presi- dent Harding felt no doubt he had power to operate the mines in an emergency.
 The president might run the risk of i'm peaehment in taking such a course, 1t was indicated, but he was said not to fear such a possibility under existing conditions.
 The union officials who have remained in Washington since the breakup of the general coal conference, have made their position plain to officials, in demanding first of all that arbitration as offered, be
 made to apply to the semi unionized fields of West Virginia and Pennsylvania
 where production has been only partly l crippled since the strike. They have 1 further asked for its application in
