FRIDAY. Jan. 26.

Washington, Jan. 26.- The first at
tempt at flibustering during this ses-
sion occurred in the house today on a
Democratic endeavor to defeat the pro-
vision of the urgent deficiency bill
waving the eight-hour law for foreign
laborers on the Panama canal The
amendment was placed in the bill in
committee of the whole after the house
had divided many times on every pre-
text which Williams could make the
cause for vote. When the bill was
finally finished, late in the day, q de-
mand for separate vote and roll-call
on that amendment was made and or
dered, at which time the house ad-
journed. The vote will occur tomor-
row. The amendment was ruled out
of the bill on a point of order on Tues
day, and its insertion today wss effect
ed under the provisions Of a special
rule brought in from the rules COM
mittee for the purpose
The only other controversy Of the day
resulted from an attempt to increase by
sII5, 900 the amount for meat inspec'
ton by the department Of Agriculture
This increase was refused after an ami
mated debate.
