propose that it shall slumber indeh-
nitely upon the House Calendar A
petition addressed to the Speaker
asking that day be set aside ior its
consideration was circulated to-day
by MIR Doolittle. of W ashington.
At 4 O'Clock it had received the sig
natures of more than two hundred
Republicans and fifty Democratic
members of the house Mr. Mahon,
OF Pennsylvania, who is member OF
the sub committee that drafted the
measure, predicts that if it is called
up it will have a practically unani.
nous vote in it's favor
The argument used by the support
ers of the measure ia that it does not
call on the Government for an appro
priation. but simply requires the
Governments guarantee of the pay.
n,ent of the principal and interest of
the bonds The government. on the
other hand, is amply protected from
loss by payment into the treasury
of stock equalling the amount Of
bonds guaranteed, and in addition is
to be given mortgage on the plant
