OU|ETUs PLACED
ON RECIPROCITY
AS Far as This Session of Congress
Chances Of Canadian Agreement
Are Practically Blocked.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 25.-Oppon-
ents of the Canadian reciprocity agree
ment attempted to put quietus on
legislation on the subject when the
Mccall bill was reported late Friday
without recommendation, from the
senate committee on finance. So far
as the present session of congress is
concerned they took long step to-
ward accomplishing their purpose.
The return of the bill to the senate
by Acting Chairman Burrows of the
finance committee was made the occa-
sion for brief speeches both in opposi-
tion and in favor of early action. AS
only a few days remain to put the bill
through hostile body the speeches
against it were accepted generally as
its death knell, until a resurrection
should come in an extra session.
Senator Hale, who will retire March
4, said the committee had yielded to
public clamor and the charge that the
bill was to be suppressed, and had re-
ported it against the real sentiment of
a large majority of the committee.
He served notice that the bill would
have to go to the calendar to take its
course, and any effort on the part of
anyone, of whatever authority, ito
drive" the senate would be an unwar-
ranted assumption of power.
Senator Bailey of Texas, democrat
lie member OF the committee, was rec
ognized es soon as the report was pre-
sented by Mr. Burrows
Declaring his opposition to it, he
expressed the opinion that the best
interests of the agriculturists would
be. served by the defeat of the bill.
Pointing out some of the diserimina-
tions from his point of view, the
Texas senator said that while the
agreement admits wheat and cattle
free, it retains the duty on flour and
beef meat.
Civilized people eat flour and not
wheat, beef and not cattle" he said
True it is that the agreement pso-
vides for q free wood pulp, but this
change in the tariff laws win mean
the loss Of almost s50O,o0o Of revenue
to the treasury annually
He had been informed. he said, that
this change would be worth s5,000,O00
to the newspaper and magazine pub
fishers, but for himself. he said, he
could not consent to a measure which
gives such preference to the rich as
against the poor and needy.
Senator Hale concurred in all that
MIR. Bailey had said, and added that
while the bill had been reported with
ont recommendation, the committee
had done so in the face of the fact that
an unquestioned majority otherwise
could have been had for an adverse
report.
Senator stone of Missouri, minor
ity member Of the committee, an
n0unced his intention of supporting
the measure, on the ground that Il
will be in the line OF wise and progress
sive craftsmanship.
Speaking briefly for a second time
Senator Bailey said that while op
posed to the bill, he would not seek tc
delay its passage. The bill went on
the calendar, where it is subject tc
consideration whenever the senate
may decide to take,it up.
