Claim Majority of
IL for Bill.

WASHINGTON, May 2o.-The advocates
of repeal OF the tolls exemption law re-
celved another recruit to-day. Senator
Kenyon OF Iowa, progressive Republican.
announced that he would vote for repeal.
He has been classed as doubtful" The
declaration OF Mr.. Kenyon gave the advo.
Gates of the repeal bill unusual gratiiica
ton. The speech of Senator Kenyon and
a speech of Senator Hollis of New Hsmp-
shire. Democrat in favor of repeal were
the principal developments In the canal
tolls situation in the Senate to-day.
The friends OF the repeal bill now
claim az least twelve ma jority, and say
this will be iucreased before the vote
is taken.
Senator Kern. leader of the majority
in the Senate asked to-day that Wcdnes-
day, May 81. be fixed as the date for
taking the final vote on the bill and that
all debate be closed on that day. Objec-
ton was made by Senator McCumber.
Senator Kern gave notice that he would
renew his request daily for a definite
date for the vote until he got the consent
of the Senate. He also intimated that
daily sessions beginning at II o'clock
instead of noon would be imposed, aud
even night sessions after this week. He
feels certain that with such restrictions
put upon the debate II can he brought
to close next week.
Senator Kenyon in his speech to-day
reviewed the arguments which have been
adanced in the Senate for and against
repeal OF the exemption clause. He said:
IF this case was one presented to "A
court Of a number of members there would
most certainly be a disagreement among
the court
The very fact that this IL a debatable
question lDWpkpr N la ~. Ne
upon us to submit il to arbitration. II We
believe In the principle OF arbitration We
are now put to the test, and this nation
could advance the cause OF universal
peace In no surer way than to
submit this question to q commission
of arbitration, which need not be OF The
Hague but may be a commission conf
posed Of Justices of our Supreme Court
and OF the High Court of England No
one ought to object to such "a course, and
have been rather amazed that there is
objection to IT."
Senator Kenyon said that his former
vote for the exemption Of coastwise ships
from the payment of tolls was wrong.

DEMOCRATS IN QUANDARY

WASHINGTON. May 2o--President VII.
son will veto the Clayton antitrust bill
II IT reaches him with provision exempt
ing. labor unions from prosecution under
the Sherman law. Notice TO this effect
has been served on Representative Lewis
OF Maryland. the spokesman of organized
labor in the House.
Tho Presidents attitude toward the ex-
emption clause was made known TO Mr..
Lewis by Representatives Clayton, Carlin
and Floyd. members of the subcommittee
that framed tha Clayton bill They have
told Mr.. Lewis that the Clayton bill gives
TO labor all that II has a right to ask and
that neither the Administration nor the
leaders In Congress can see their way clear
10 grant the demand that the unions shall
he made a privileged class under the anti
trust laws.
Just what effect this notice will have on
Mr.. Lewis and his followers Is not known.
The impression is. however. that the labor
group in the House, led by Mr.. Lewis,
will insist upon the adoption of the eN-
emption clause This group will have the
support of Representative Henry of Texas.
chairman Of the Rules Committee. unless
Mr. Henry is called of by the Administra-
ton. Mr. Henry, Yho is a candidate for
the Senate in Texas, may listen TO reason
If he is called TO the White House.
The insistence OF labor that an exemp-
ton clause shall he incorporated In the
Clayton bill and the Presidents opposi-
ton present tcSlish situation to the
Democrats in Congress. Mr.. Henry am
nounced in the House yesterday that the
exemption clause would be adopted.
I'VE have the votes to pass it, he said.
There is good reason to believe that the
labor group may attempt to force the
holding OF q caucus on the exemption
clause. The leaders DO not want to take
this question into caucus. Its rejection
by u caucus, they fear, would have a bad
effect politically. on the other hand, "
by any chance the caucus should approve
the exemption clause tho House orsanza.
ton would thus be placed In an attitude
Of hostility to the Administration.
The Clayton bill will come up for con-
sideration on saturday or Monday. An
effort will be made by the leaders In the
meantime to iiud a way TO solve the prob
lem.
