TAFT BILL
PASSED BY
The HOUSE
RECIPROCITY AGREEMENT WITH
CANADA ADOPTED BY VOTES or
THE DEMOCRATS.

Washington, Feb. 15.-President
Taft's reciprocity agreement with Can
ada was ratified in the house of repre-
senatives Tuesday night by an almost
solid democratic vote. The Mccall
bill, carrying the agreement into ef-
feet, was passed, 22l to s2.
A majority OF the republicans pres
ent voted against the measure, the di-
vision being rs ayes and 81 noes. The
democratic vote was 143 ayes and
only five noes. A majority Of the re-
publican insurgents present voted for
the bill.
The Mccall bill now goes to the
senate. What It's fate win be in that
body IS problematical. President Taft
believes if a filibnster can be avoided
and a vote taken TIC 1ill win pass He
Is insistent that the senate shall act
one way or the other. and has indi-
Gated that he would call an extra ses-
sion Of congress if 1t 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 had
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 taunted the majority
members for their lack Of unity.
