Trying Ordeal
All Amendemtns to Reciprocity are
Voted Down by Big
MajOrities in Senate.
CUMMINS DEMANDED
FIVE ROLE CALLS
Fourteen Votes All That He Could
Muster in Support of Any
Il Amendment.

WASHINGTON. July lO.-The
Canadian reciprocity bill emerged
unscathed tonight. from the most seri-
Gus ordeal IL mas yet experienced in
the senate. The series oil amend
ments offered by Senator Cummins,
OF Iowa, and the two offered by Sen
ator simmons. ~ North Carolina, all
seeking TO increase the number OF
Canadian manufactured articles that
shall be admitted 70 the United States
free OF duty, were voted down by
large majorities.
The vote in favor of amendments
was so small thar Senator Cummins
asked for only five roll calls. although
he had previously announced his In
tention OF asking for at least ten.
The maxium vote fOr his tariff amend
ments was IL compared to a maxi
mum vote of 90 AGAINST.
The defeat of the Cummins amend
ments cleared the situation in the
senate and leaves the reciprocity bill
much nearer final passage.
Defeat by Big Votes.
On the proposal 10 put -four and
cereal products on the lists of articles
which the United States will admit
free from Canada. Senator Cummins
was defeated 81 to "A: on the pro-
posal 10 put agricultural implements
