WINS in HOUSE.
Reciprocity Measure Passes by
Vote of 221 to SO.
Democrats Almost Solid on Side
of Taft.

Washington. Feb. 15.-The house
by vote of 221 to 80 passed the Nc
Call bill providing reciprocity between
the United States and Canada
A majority of the Republicans pre-
sent voted against the measure, the
division being IS ayes and 81 noes.
The Democratic vote was 143 ayes and
only noes. A majority of the Repub-
Hcan insurgents present voted for the
bill.
The Mccall bill now goes to the
senate. President Taft believes if a
filibuster can be avoided and a vote
taken, the bill will pass. He is insistent
that the senate shall act one way or
the other, and has indicated that he
would call an extra session of congress
if it does not do so.
The passage of the bill in the house
came at the end of long debate
which at times was as bitter as has
been heard on the floor of that cham
Der in years. The fight was confined
almost wholly to the Republican side.
Democratic members joined in from
time to time, and tainted the majority
members for their lack of unity.
The Democratic leaders also put in
the claim that the reciprocity agree
ment was good Democratic doctrine
and declared they were glad to well
come President Taft and many of the
house Republicans into the Demo-
cratic fold.
A final vote was reached only
through the application of a cloture
rule which shut off all amendments
and even dispensed with the reading
Of the bill.
