TRADE Bill IS ON
SENATE CALENDAR
Senators Hale and Bailey Speak
Against II and Extra Session
Seems Assured.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-oppon.
ents OF the Canadian reciprocity
agreement attempted to put a quietus
ON legislation on the subject when the
Mccall bill to carry out the provisions
OF the agreement late yesterday was
reported without recommendation"
from the senate committee on finance.
So far as the present session of con-
gress Is concerned they took a long
step toward accomplishing their pur-
pose.
The return OF the bill to the senate
by Acting Chairman Burrows, OF the
finance committee, was made the oc-
casion for brief speeches both in OPP
position and in favor Of early action.
As only few days remain TO put the
bill through q hostile body, the
speeches against II were accepted
generally as its death knell, until a
resurrection should come In an extra
session.
Senator Hale, the veteran Aepubli-
can leader who will reture March 4,
declared the committee had yielded
TO public clamor and the charge that
the bill was to be suppressed and
had reported II against the real senti-
ment Of a large majority of the COM
mittee. He served notice, however,
that the bill would have to 60 to the
calendar to take its course and any
effort on the part Of any one OF what
ever authority to drive" the senate
would be an unwarranted assumption
Of power.
Senator Bailey, OF Texas, a Demo
cratic member Of the committee, was
recognized as soon as the report was
presented by Mr.. Burrows.
Declaring his opposition to Il, ne
expressed the opinion that the best
interests OF the agriculturists would
be served by the defeat Of the bill.
In pointing out some Of the discrimi-
nations in the bill, from his point of
view, the Texas senator, said that
and cattle free, 1t retained the duty
on -four and beef meat.
Civilized people eat -four and not
wheat, beef and not cattle" he said.
True, II was, he continued, that the
agreement provided for free wood
pulp, but this change in the tariff
laws would mean the loss OF almost
$500. 900 Of revenue to the treasiry an
nually. He had been informed, he
said, that this change would be worth
$4,000, 900 to the newspaper and maya
zine publishers, but for himself, he
would not consent to a measure which
gave such preference to the rich as
against the poor and needy. -.-
