New York Congressman Attacks Bill

and Republicans Lock Horns
Repeatedly

by Associated GTeSS.
WASHINGTON, April 2.-Carrying a
total of $11 sos, 806, the agricultural APP
preparation bill was passed by the
house late today.
1t has been under discussion for nine
days and from the time it's considera-
ton began until the very end, it's pro-
visions were attacked at every turn,
with the result that it underwent many
changes.
Just before it's passage, Mr. Scott of
Kansas, chairman of the agricultural
| committee, made an unsuccessful fight
to have stricken out the amendment
adopted yesterday considerably in
creaJing the appropriation for soil in
| vestigationS.
During the debate today a brief fur
ry was created by Mr.. Harrison, Demo-
crat. of New York, characterizing as
"socialistic" the bill of Minority Lead
er Williams, providing for the utiliza-
tion of the treasury surplus in the
construction and Improvement of roads
in the several states.
Partsans Lock Horns
With the agricultural bill out of the
way the Democrats and Republicans
locked horns with each other on all
subsequent business, with the result
that one of the most vigorous filbus-
ters ever conducted in the house was
entered upon.
Majority Leader Payne threw down
the gauntlet to the Democrats and no.
titled them the Republicans did not
propose to accept their dictation as to
what the program of legislation
should be.
Minority Leader Williams accepted
the challenge, whereupon the Demo-
Gratis resorted to every obstructive
tactic known to parliamentary law on
every proposition that came up for
consideration.
1t was HOO p. m. before the house
adjourned.
