WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 15.-
Negotiations between contending
factions looking to an understand-
ng to speed up Senate action on
;he Tariff billhalted abruptly to-'
day after the Republican inde-
oendent opposition group decided.
that no agreement was necessary.
The Western Republicans who
have combined with a majority of
the Democrats, in opposing many
of the administration provisions,
took the position that no delaying
tactics had been resorted to by any
group or individual thus far and
that there was no proper ground
either for asking for or consenting
to an arrangement to limit de-
'bate.
All sides agreed there was no use
attempting to further conferences,
so that the tariff bill apparently is
destined to final settlement in the
regular session beginning in De-
cember.
As if sensing the failure of the
group conference, the Senate put
on speed today and disposed of six
amendments to the bill but along
came other developments to threat-j
en further delay in reaching ther
rate section.
