at $50 O'Clock last night by vote OF
so to u. Senators Chamberlin, Clay,
Gore, Paynter, Simmons and Stone are
the only democrats who voted for the
bill.
The bill will now 60 to the conferees
for final settlement, Some democrats
go so far as to predict that the measure
will never become a law, dying in the
committee.
Senator LaFollettc presented a large
number Of amendments to the bill dur
ing the day, the most important OF
which provided that no person interest
ed in railroad company shall be APP
pointed to membership of the proposed
| Court of Commerce, and substituting
the Supreme Court as body for the
chief justice in performing the duty OF
designating Circuit Court judges for
service on the bench of the Commerce
Court. Both amendments were lost,
the former by vote of 90 to 80 and
the latter by a vote of IS to 80.
An amendment by Mr.. La Toilette
permitting railroads to issue passes to
the widows, during widowhood, and
minor children of employees killed in
the line of service, was accepted with
out division.
At $40 p. M. the bill having been
perfected in committee OF the whole,
was reported to the Senate. Mr.. Hey
burn obtained an order for separate
vote on the long and short haul pro-
vision.
Mr.. Bacon moved to strike out the
sections for the establishment Of a court
Of commerce and argued to the Senate
that the method prescribed for deslgnat-
ing the membership of the proposed
court would be unconstitutional on the
ground that it would deprive circuit
Judges who are selected to serve for live
years OH the court of life tenures III the
offices to which they were originally
appointed.
The motion provoked long discus
sion. The motion was rejected by a
vote of % to IS.
During the debate Senator Gore
charged that the attorney general had
taken the traffic agreement ana merger
sections of the presidents bill directly
from bills drafted by railroad lawyers
and introduced in the S!xtieth Congress
at the request Of Seth Low.
Senator Aldrich found it necessary
to take personal charge OF the fight and
Senator La Toilette got,into hot water
with the vicc-prcsident.
More than three months have been
devoted to debate on the bill and the
struggle toward the end became even
harder than. the tedious finale of the
tariff debate
