DEMOCRATS A UNIT AGAINST
CONFEREES' Deport. 6
OUTLOOK DISCOURAGING
Prospect of Bitter Antagonism to the
Committee Work in Senate with
Chances for Defeat of Statehood

The latest move in the controversy
between the senate and the house on
the statehood question has just been
revealed in connection with the plan
to bring in the report from the confer
ence committee tomorrow. This re-
port is to provide for the immediate
admission of Oklahoma and Indian
Territory as one state with a further
provision in the exact language of the
original Foraker amendment that Arr
zona and New Mexico shall vote sep
arately. ON the question Of their ad-
mission as one state.
This report is to be subwitted first
to the senate for. its action. Should
il be rejected, as has been predicted
by those who have made close canvas
of that body, the responsibility for
the failure to admit Oklahoma and In
dian Territory. and also the failure to
allow the other two territories
themselves. to decide the question Of
their admission, will be placed with
the senate,
Should this report fail of ratifca
tion in the senate, it is believed the
house will rest its case without any
further action Of any kind, after EN-
phasizing the fact that the senate
and not the house, is repOnslble for
the failure of action. The Foraker
amendment, as it is known, is the ex-
act provision on which the Statehood
insurgents" made their losing fight IN
the house when the bill was under
consideration in that body
Cannon and the house leaders, who
have supported him in his statehood
position. have carefully considered
the present move, and all indications
point to the conclusion that they are
willing to drop the question indefinite
ly should the senate refuse to accept
this basis Of compromises
After it became known in tue SEN
nIe that the conferees had agreed up
On the Foraker amendment, Burrows
amendment cutting Arizona and New
Mexico out of the bill, poll was taken
to determine the acceptabillty oi the
report. The Democrats were a unit
against receding from the Burrows
amendment unless it should be by
the adoption of the Foraker amend
ment to the bill passed at this session.
which would submit the question of
admission separately to the people OF
Arizona and New Mexico at special
election. Only Al Republican votes
were found for the conference report
and unless there are further conces-
slons, it appears that it cannot be ad-
opted.

adopted advocating I" reasonable and

such inspection. 1t was contended that
to ask packers 10 pay for inspection
would only result in burden upon

ed, the packels would increase the
