WASHINGTON. Feb. 14-Although no
agreement as to the time for a vote
could he reached by unanimous consent
to-day. there Is still a a that the
Canadian reciprocity bill will be passed
by the House before adjournment to-
night. a motion to cut of general de-
bate will be made, and the advocates
Of the measure claim TO have votes
enough to put Il through.
Representative Underwood of Ala
hama began to-day's debate in favor OF
the measure. The reciprocity bill. Mr..
Underwood declared. was made neces-
sary by the failure of the maximum and
minimum provisions OF the Payne-Ald-
rich law. Those provisions. he claimed.
were wrong in rrinciple. They made
tie minimum rate the general rate and
provided for an increased rate as a re-
,aliation for high rates against this
country. The principle thus established
was one OF coercion and not calculated
20 bring about good feeling.
Mr.. Underwood contended that in an
y ldesp bill the maximum should be the
general rates. Then the President could
grant substantial concessions to those
countries willing TO do the same toward
this country.

Underwood with the principal speech in
