filihuster against taking votes on the
Canadian reciprocity agreement, the per.
manent tariff board bill and the Lorimer

there is a congestion of appropriation bills
that seems irremedial.
The urgent deficiency bill is the only
one of the IA general supply measures tina
have become a law. The situation respect.
ing appropriation bills is as follows:
The Indian, legislative, army and Dis.
trict of Columbia bills nave passed both
houses and are in conference. All these
bills contain items of dispute which pres
ent difficulties. The pension, postofice
agricultural, naval, military academy,
Notifications. diplomatic and cnnsnla. and
sundry civil bills have passed the House
but not the Senate. The general deficiency
bill has not come out of the House com.
nittee on appropriations.
There remain TO be passed by the Sen
ate therefore, the pensions, postoffce, ag.
ricultural, naval, military academy, forth
fications, diplomatic and consular, sun
dry civil and general deficiency bills.
