16. Conferees of the Senate and House agreed today to the $116,000,000 emergency employment appropriation In the form which drew oppo- sltlon yesterday In the Senate. The report will be returned to the Senate later today. The revised bill contains the provision giving President Hoover authority to use the funds as hs sees fit If emergencies arise. This had been stricken from the bill by the Senate.

This decision of the conferees, reached tentatively Saturday, was assailed In the Senate yesterday by Democrats. Senator Robinson, the party leader, agreed to the restoration of this provision in the interest of hastening the legislation, however.

In the House the plans of leaders for action on the drouth relief bill were somewhat uncertain after a Republican attempt to push it through without voting on Senate provisions of the measure had been turned back.
