bia legislation.
After disposing of half dozen dis
trict bills, Mr.. Payne New York;, chair
man of the Ways and Means Committee.
called up the bill to permit transit
through the United States of goods in
bond without the payment Of duties. The
bill had a proviso suspending It's opera
ton as far as goods bound for the Mex
lean free zone are concerned
Mr. Payne explained that the bill was
designed to broaden the scope of the pres
ent law SO as to permit the trans-ship-
ment Of goods across the United States
no matter what their destination might
be. 1t was especially desirable in view
Of the growing trade with the Orient.
Under il goods could be shipped across
the United States to China or Japan.
The free zone provision was designed to
prevent smuggling. Mr.. Payne said that
he would yield to Mr.. Grosvenor (Ohio)
to offer an amendment to the provision.
Ii was offered and proposed to substitute
for it an amendment to repeal the joint
resolution of March LIST, 1898, to prohib-
it the entry of goods in to the free zone
of Mexico.
Mr.. Stephens (TeXas) made point OF
order against the amendment which was
not sustained.
Mr.. Cooper (Texas), the author Of the
amendment explained the necessity for
the repeal of the joint resolution.
The attempt of Congress to prevent
smuggling by the joint resolution, he
said. had not succeeded, but on the con-
trary it had proved detrimental to our
transportation companies. Goods for the
free zone now went 10 Vera Cruz and
Tampico. Mexico, and We're hauled by
Mexican railroads. The resolution pre-
vented American railroads and Ameri-
can laborers from handling the goods
which went into the free zone. The
Treasury Department, he said. RECON-
mended its repeal.
The amendment was adopted So to II
and the bill passed
At $40 p. IN. the House adjourned.
