WASHINGTON. April 4 — Tiw
tariff bill conferees settled 68 more
differences over rates in the chem-
ical schedule at their second ses-
sion today, but reached th«<r first
stuihbling block in attempting to
adjust the duty on casein.
The existing rate of 2 1-2 cents
a pound on casein, a dried skimmed
milk product used in paper manu-
facture wa-s retained in the House I
bill, but was increased to 5 1-2 cents
by the Senate. Dairy interests are
seeking the highest duty possible
on this commodity in an effort to
compete with Argentine casein in
the American market.
Senate conferees continued to win
majority of the contests today,
nithough they receded on several
amendments The Senate bill gen-
erally carries duties lower than that
passed by the House.
