7 OILS BAT TIE
Shit TS To
SENATE

WASHINGTON. April With the
Administration victorious in the
House in its fight TO repeal the free
tolls clause Of the Panama Canal act
the scene of conflict shifted to-day 10
the Senate, where the battle will be
waged as bitterly, or more so, than 1t
was among the Representatives..
Although the opponents of the
measure were astounded by the ma
jority of So which its supporters piled
up in response to the plea Of Presi-
dent Wilson in the House, where it
was carried by vote Of 247 to l62'
they declared that there would be no
lessening in the f1ercenees of their
attack.
The fate Of the bill in the Senate is
uncertain. Its advocates claim a ma
iority Of from two to five in the up
per chamber, but this is a narrow
margin that may be wiped out en-
tirey. The debate in the Senate GER
tainly will be protracted The gem
eral opinion is that the discussion
win last from six weeks to two
months, with the probability that the
final vote will be taken about May 10.
No immediate Acton.
Final action depends in great meas
ure on the action taken by the Com
mittee on Interoceanic Canals which
will take up consideration of the re-
peal measure next week. Senator
O'Gorman, of New York, is chairman
of this committee, and he is the lead
ing Democratic opponent of the Pres
dents repeal policy in the Senate.
Despite OGormans opposition,
however, it is not believed that any
attempt will be made to pigeonhole
the measure, though it is not ex-
pected that any immediate action will
be taken.
The other members of the commit
tee are Senators Thornton, of Louis
lana; Chiffon, Of West Virginia.
Shields, of Tennessee Walsh, OF
Montana, Thomas. of Colorado;
owen Of oklahoma Simmons, of
North Carolina; Brandegee of Con-
necticut Borah, of Idaho; Crawford,
of South Dakota Bristow, of Kan
sas: Perkins, of California, and Page,
Of Vermont
5orah to Aid Opposition.
Senator Borah, who is one of the
best fighters of the Republican par
ty, will be allied with Senator O'Gor-
man in opposing the tolls repeal. The
chief burden of leading the Admins
tration forces in the committee will
fall upon Senators Simmons and
Owen
Senator Brandegee Republican, is
expected to give his help to the Ad-
ministration while the bill is IN com
mittee. and when it reaches the Sen
ate floor four other Republican Sen
ators-Root, Lodge McCumber and
Burton-wiu line up with the Presi-
dent
show as great a faotional schism in
the Democratic party rs that which
developed in the House, where So
Democrats voted against repeal to
220 for It,
The Republican Senators are also
divided though their split is not ex-
pected to be so marked as in the
lower chamber where 93 voted no ana
% voted aye.
Chairman O'Gorman, Of the Senate
Committee on InterOCeanic Cana 6,
said he would call meeting of the
committee next Tuesday to consider
repeal bills.
Norris Would Amend
The repeal bill as passed by the
House was reported to the Senate by
a House messenger at 1850 o'clock

shall not be construed as a surren

Local Men optimistic-Exchange of
Professors With South America
Proposed.

There Is every indication OF an i'm
provement in business generally, espe-
Cially in manufacturing lines, and 1t Is
due largely to the present struggle in
Europe The waste caused by the big
conflict and the scarcity of workingmen
have already started American wheels
to hum.
The Welsbach Company, whose plant
is located in Gloucester, y. j., announced
today that it had employed more than
800 additional hands to keep pace with
the big domestic trade resulting from
tine war. A representative of the COM
pany said for the first time in the his
tory of the company orders were received
from all parts OF the world.
Both Europe and South America are
making big demands for clothing, AID,
as result, many textile mills which
have been running a little more than
half time are now running full handed.
The local manufacturers are receiving
requests daily from Europe TO do their
best to meet the demand.
Every effort also is being made to open
steady market with South America.
AS representatives of several South
American firms are now making in
quiries in this city the business men
feel optimistic.

Crea. dean of the Wharton School of
the University of Pennsylvania, has sug-
gested an exchange Of professors between
South American institutions and the Uni
versity. He points out that Yale has
successfully exchanged with German uni
versities and contends that a similar
plan with South America would be
equally as successful.
