the expedition might be against

Comes From Committee With
out Recommendation
ALI Amendments But Roots
Were Voted Down

Washington, June S.-The Canadian
reciprocity bill was acted upon today
by the senate finance committee and
will be reported Tuesday without rec
ommendation. The Root amendment to
the print paper and wood pulp provis-
ION was adopted by the committee by
a vote of 8 to g..
An attempt to authorize an unfavor-
able report resulted in a tie vote and
another tie marked the effort to report
without recommendation before the re-
suit was accomplished.
The committee met IN executive ses-
sion today and Immediately proceeded
to vote on the amendments. The first
I--odification offered was by Senator
Nelson of Minnesota which was, how
ever, reduced, instead of removing.
duties on live stock and farm products.
This was defeated without roll cali
and the same fate was meted ont "a
the house free list bill. The latter
provision was formerly offered by
Senator Bailey and received only his
vote and those of Simmons and Kern.
An amendment by Simmons to include
-four and meats in the free list also
voted down.
The Root amendment requiring the
admission of American wood pulp and
paper into Canada free of duty. then
was voted into the bill without dis
cussion.
The Root Amendment.

bill shall not be in force until the
president shall have satisfactory evil
dence and shall make proclamation
that such wood pulp. paper and board,

amendment on the floor.
