JAP QUESTION
Democratic Hostility Alarms Adj
mInistratiOn Senator's

Washington, Feb. 10. The sudden
development OF full fiedged filihua-
ter resulted in the senate when an at
tempt was made to force the adoption
Of the conference agreement ON the
immigration bill. This report carries
a provision intended to bring about a
settlement OF the Japanese California
school problem, and speedy action
was desired by administration sena-
tors.
Expressing sypmathy with this 'lb.
ject, yet regarding the report with
suspicion on other points, Senator'S
Bacon and Tillman flrst endeavored
TO have action delayed until tomor-
row that they might study the report.
When this was refused the flIibuster
began.
Senator Bacon held the iloor two
and half hours. Senator Tillman
said he was prepared to make To-day
fight on the floor against the report
because be objected to being run over
with an automobile.
Senator Bacon objected on the
ground that the report changed exist
ing law In respects which he believed
on hurried examination, would dc.
prive southern states from obtaining
even the meager labor supply from
abroad which was available under the
present laws. Administration SEN
ators interested in the adoption OF the
report were alarmed by apparent
democratic hostility. All OF the
democratic leaders, when questioned
as to their attitude, disclaimed the
adoption Of party policy in regard
to the report and the senators making
the objections insisted that they we're
actuated wholly by resentment OF
what they thought was an attempt TO
force immediate action. Senator
Blackburn, chairman Of the demo-
cratic steering committee, said he felt
sure there was no disposition to ali
buster against the report beyond car.

Senators Bacon and Tillman made
similar statements. They agreed that

vided in what is Familiarity known ~

Of great Importance. They would not
say what their attitude would be. II
