Fight Over Reciprocity.
Washington, D. c., July 8.-Aftel
some difficulty in securing a quorum
the Senate resume consideration O
the Canadian Reciprocity bill today
and over the protest of Senator Cum
minis began voting on his proposed
amendments.
The, amendment putting meats OF
the free list was defeated IA to. ~
Senator Bailey Immediately movet
an adjournment.
1T is apparent that we are doinl
business here with bare quorum,
The said, "and l think we ought to lie
these votes goover."
L Fhe senate voted down the amend
ment- to adjourn. Senator Cum
minis again referred to what he cor
sidered the unfairness of forcing
vote on his amendments before othe
Senators had chance to speak ol
them. He declared that leaving
duty on Canadian meat would benefi
only the big packers of the Unite
| States.
Senator Burton of Ohio, in votin
against Mr.. Cummins amendmen
said he did SO because he thought !
would upset the whole Canadial
agreement. He said he favored fre
meat, but not as an item on the re
ciprocity bill where it might defea
the whole arrangement.
The vote by which the Cummin
free meat amendment was defeate'
showed Senators Bailey, Simmon
and Thornton, Democrats, votin
with the following Republicans Il
favor of the amendment: Senator
| Borah, Bourne, Bristow, Clapp. Clari
(Wyoming) Cummins, Dixon, Gronns
Kenyon, Nelson and Sutherland.
Senator Cummins next asked fo
IA separate vote on his amendment t
admit flour and other manufacture
cereal products free of duty fror
Canada.
He said the amendment was
balance the provision of the recipr'
city bill that puts grains on the fire
list.
| Senator Bailey urged the adoptio
of the amendment. Senator Dixon II
sisted it would not invalidate the Cal
adian agreement. Senator Burton {
Ohio contended the point. He declare
the reciprocity bill was an "interni
| tional agreement standing by itself. y
| Senator Burton added that he di
not believe the farmers as a whol
would suffer from the removal Of th
duty on wheat.
"Why not put flour on the free Iii
, them" asked Senator Cummins.
Il am willing flour should be put q
the free list II 1t can be done witho1
endangering this reciprocity agre
ment," said Senator Burton, "but
you want free flour why don't "
, take 1t up as an independent propo,
, ton instead Of trying to tack it on I'll
! bill as rider?"
, Before vote on the free no,
! amendment was taken the Sena
! agreed to adjourn until next Mond,
and all the other amendments we
over until that time.
