SENATE CONSIDERS
 LEATHER TARIFFS
May Reverse Decision Putting
 Hides on Free List

Washington, Feb. (uP)-Thc senate may reverse itself on it's ac- tion in placing hides, feathers and shoes on the tariff bill free list as a result of backstage negotiations.
 The negotiations have reached the stage where senators from stock and tannery states are predicting privately a compromise may be worked out.
 The compromise is being negotiat- cd it is understood, on the basis of a duty of four cents q pound on raw hides and eight cents on dried. No decision has been reached yet in rc- gard to the duties on feathers and shoes, but the understanding is that feathers will be given a fair protec- ton in addition to compensation for the tariff on hides.
 The negotiations have been in progress since the senate placed lhnse three commodities on the free list
 When inc senate refused 10 GlNo inc hide people a four cent duty they voted 10 put hides feathers and shoes on the free list contcndjnG a duty Of lrss than four cents would ho worthless and would merely pro vide an excuse for putting heavy duties on feathers and shoes.
 This strategy. apparently worked. because it hit the tanuory states as Lard. if not harder thau the hides states. Senators from th" leather producing states immediately open od negotiations with the western hide states senators.
 The final decision is expected when the senate completes consider ntjon Of individual amendments, just before the final vote on passage of the measure.
