Sundry Civil Bill Rider At
tackled in Senate.


Washington. May 5--The Democratic
majority Of the Senate at its first attempt
10 put through an important measure
faced q rapid fire OF debate from the Re
publican side when the Sundry Civil APP
preparation bin came up to-day. The
minority battery was Turned on the rider
excmpung labor unions and farmers or
carnations from prosecution under the
antitrust law. which caused the veto Of
the measure by PRECEDENT Taft as class
legislation Of the most vicious sort"
Senator Gallinger moved that the rider
be stricken from the bill and Senators
Townsend, Borah. Cummins and McCum-
Der assailed It on the ground that it es-
tarlished a vicious precedent. not only by
drawing class distinctions in the United
States. but by suspendng the operation
OF the law so far as IL affected specified
classes. The provision was also assalleG
on the ground that it gave neither labor
nor farmers organizations any real ad-
vantage.
The Democratic majority did not answer
the challenges with any show OF spirit
Senators Stone and Bacon essayod 10 jus
tify the provision. but the Democrats as
a whole remained silent The bill went
over until tomorrow.
