 tariff revision solely to agricultural products. A close working coali- ton of these groups may give them q maJcrity over the republican reg ulars who favor a more general up- ward tariff revision.
 The impending tariff struggle to- day was almost the sole thought. of the returning senatorial hosts from their vacation retreats. Chairman Smoot Of the finance committee whose republican ma ioritv has re- written the house tariff measure was ready formally to lay the legislation before the senate.
 Republicans Want Speed
 Anxious to drive the bill through before the opening of the regular session in December, the udmfnis- traitor group headed by Senator Watson of Indiana, the republican leader, planned to get the senate to work as quickly as possible and i to carry on through the remainder of tla week.
 There will be some other busi- ness but the plan is to sidetrack all but emergency matters in the in i tercst of the tariff, Mr. Hoover has ! a batch of important nominations, 1 including the members of the new ly organized farm board, but little | apprehension is felt by the admin jot tion of these.
 Dry Law Bill Forgotten
 Almost forgotten in the concern { over the tariff. the unfinished busi ] ness of the senate today was the resolution of Senator Jones, repub- !. llcan, Washington, 10 carry out the recommendation of the president | for appointment of a joint congress . sional committee to consider a re- organization of the prohibition en- forcement agencies under the de- | partment of justice.

Senator Thomas, Oklahoma, a mem per of the democratic group on the finance committee, will offer a mo- ion to strike out of he tariff meas are all rate revisions except those lpplying to the agricultural duties.
 There is some dispute among the as 10 whether such l motion is in order but there are indications that if Thomas is put aside by the rules that Senator }orah will counter with motion 0 recommit the tariff measure to he finance committee with instruc- ions to confine the rate revisions 0 farm products. The republican are hopeful of winning l vote or two and thus reversing he roll call of 39 to 38 by which he Borah resolution for farm | ariff revision alone was defeated ; ast June.
 However, regardless of the out , 'Ome of the effort to put the sen , te on record again for only farm { ariff revision, there appears to be ! 10 escape from consideration of { hundreds of various rate schedules. |
 Long Fight Imminent
 If the republican independents { coalition wins in it's f rive for limiting the tariff revision i o agricultural products, the repub- $ can regulars are expected to coun- { CT by offering their other tariff f as individual amendments.
