Washington The ten senators and representatives sitting in judgment on the varying tariff views of the two branches of congress will go in to their fourth session Monday united in a determination to compose all Uifferences in three weeks at the lat est. One-sixth of the more than 1, 200 amendments added by the senate to the Hawley-Smoot measure, which will have been before congress fifteen months Monday, have been adjusted by the conferees, either by virtue of the house or senate group receding or by compromise of the differing rates in the first two schedules em bracing chemicals, oils, paints earth enware, and glassware. . Senator Smoot, head of the sen ate conference committee, said Sun day that all non-controversial duties would be cleared up flrst. Majvr rates on which deadlocks occur or which either side has pledged not to settle without permitting the senate or house to vote upon them, he added, would be reserved for disposition later. May Hold Night Sessions. - Itho both republicans and demo crats have expressed satisfaction with the progress of the conference, there are indications that night sessions will be resorted to before long to accelerate the work. This procedure already has been broached, but un animous consent has not been forth coming. Of the 203 senate amendments passed on thus far. a bier mainritv .have been accepted, meaning the re vision 4s more or less downward. The house group, however, has insisted and won a dozen or more of the house bill increases, and compromises have jumped about duties in several addi tional instances. Rates on only two commodities casein and cement have been de fererd for future decision. The house group is bound under a gentlemen's agreement to bring the cement con troversy back to the house for a vote Indications point also to a house bal lot on casine. Other provisions slat ed for votes either in the house or senate are the export debenture amendment and the provision with drawing presidential power to change the duties, and the dutiej on sucar lumber and shingles. ' Hides, leather and -hoes also form a triple-impediment, for the conferees The senate retained all of these com modities on the free list while the house placed in the protective cute gory.
