WASHINGTON, Feb, 1.-THE Mccall
bill. carrying out the terms of the Cana
dian reciprocal agreement, was reported to
the house today by Mr.. Mccall Of Mas
sachusetts acting chairman Of the com
mittee on ways and means 1t came in
with the favorable report of twelve Of the
nineteen members of that committee, who
urge its passage as "a measure in the
interest of the great mass OF the people
of the country
The seven members Of the committee
who opposed the bill at the final session
were given permission 10 file a minority
report next week. Representative Gaines
OF West Virginia asked for specific per
mission to file that statement next Wednes
day. While the house agreed to this, Mr.
Mccall said he would not be bound by
such action to delay the bill
A motion will be made Monday afternoon,
said Mr.. Mccall to take up the measure for
immediate discussion and final action,
Unless the house. by a majority vote, re-
fuse to consider the bill then It Is likely
70 be finally acted upon before the day
Is over.
Analysis of Measure.
The Mccall report is an important
analysis not only OF the pending recip-
roclty agreement but OF the trade situa-
ton between the two countries the devel-
opment that may be expected on each
side Of the line and the influence that
tariff barriers have had on the develop
ment OF both countries.
The agricultural interests, the fishing in
terests and the lumber industry from whom
the principal protests against the measure
have come are handled at great length In
the report. The opinion Is expressed that
the fish industry In Gloucester will not be
injured by the free admission OF Canadian
fish while the fish packing industry and
4 the consumers will be benefited.
As to wheat the final benefit to the
consumer was placed paramount 10 the
