PASS CANADA PACT
RECIPROCITY MEASURE GOES
THROUGH HOUSE DESPITE
REPUBLICAN OPPOSITION.
MANY AMENDMENTS OFFERED
Bill, Which Now Goes to Senate,
Gets Almost Solid Support Of the
pemoerats-FInaI Roll Was 264
to So.

Washington.-By the decisive vote of
264 to SO the house of representatives
passed the Canadian reciprocity tariff
measure, marking the close of a six
days fight.
Ten of the opposing votes were cast
by the Democrats and the other 70
by Republicans. A majority of the
Republicans In the house voted
against the measure, and the fears OF
President Taft were realized, namely,
that the reciprocity measure would 60
through by Democratic votes alone
At the last minute the president sum.
moned a group of Republican oppo-
nents Of reciprocity to the White
House and made a personal appeal to
them, but without avail.
The bill now goes to the senate,
where strenuous efforts are to be
made, through amendments and other
wise, to defeat 1t. Announcements
that such was the plan Of opposing
senators were made during the fight
in the house.
Most startling in their nature were
the explanations given by Chairman
Underwood of the ways and means
committee, of plans that had been
adopted by great trusts, monopolies
and interests to defeat the reciprocity
bill. That fight is still on and will
have to be met in the senate.
Mr. Underwood, in his closing ad-
dress, charged that the American Pro.
tective Tariff league, the steel and
lumber trusts, had waged systematic
campaign against the bill, which In.
cluded the sending of misleading tele.
grams to members of the house and
the closing down of steel mills, throw
ing thousands of workmen out of en-
ployment, to influence congressman
and senators.
Mccall of Massachusetts also de-
Tended the bill In a lengthy address,
and Dalzell made the final attack upon
it, Then came food of amendments,
fifty or more, all aimed against the
meat, lumber and print paper sched-
ules of the pact. Spirited debate fol-
lowed on each amendment, but all
were voted down.
Despite protestations Of unchanging
support Of progressive legislation, IT.
vine L. Lenroot of Wisconsin and
George Norris of Nebraska, progress
sive leaders, lined their following up
in opposing the bill behind a handful
of the old guard of stand-patters.
The contention of the progressives
vas that the bill was amendable and
that 1t could be changed by giving
Canada free trade. They held to this
insistently. in the face of positive as.
surances from President Taft, the
state department and the commission
ers who framed the pact, that any
change would send the agreement
back to the commissioners with the
certainty that this would defeat it.
The record vote came on final pass.
age of the bill, nearly everyone insist.
ing on 1t. Ten Democrats voted
against the tariff pact and 70 Repub-
licans. This was a majority of the
Republicans voting. Among the op.
ponents of the bill were nearly
all the progressive Republicans Of
the house.
