Washington, Dec. S.-The fight to

on 81 a day for veterans of the
Civil War as provided in the Sher-

afternoon when Representative Adair
OF Indiana called up the bill.
Opponents of the bill began their
attack at once by demanding a divis-

friends of the bill would not control
he floor. Representa alive Fitzger-
aid, OF New York, demanded that
half the time of debate be given to
those who oppose the dollar day
Plan.
Republican Leader Mann objected
to the fixing of any time limit on
the debate
The House then began the consid-
Grafton of the measure with the
prospect of a long and bitter strug-
gle.
In the course of the debate Repre-
sentative Adair aroused the anger OF
"Gncle Joe" Cannon When he per
sisted that the Senate would not pass

House did.

is haggard. But he set his teeth to-

him.
