FlLiBUSTER AGAINST
 ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS
As Protest in House Because of Fail
 ure to Provide for Relief of Cotton Growers. s,; a- l.@t-f. .,sf ifl..-fa

Washington. Oct. 1.-The house fail- ed to reach a vote today on the con ference report on the Clayton anti trust bill despite special rule limit ing debate to five hours under which it was hoped the administration anti trust legislation programme for this session would be completed. The re- port already has been agreed to by the senate.
 Representative Henry, of Texas, con- tinued his f1libuster against early ad- Journment as protest against the failure to legislate at this session for the relief of cotton growers from con- ditions arising from the European war. Frequent roll calls for quorum in corrupted the debate and it was fn- ally decided to defer the vote until tomorrow.
 Representative Webb of North Caro- lima, in charge of the report, told the house that when the president signs the antitrust bill with section 8 against price fixing in it, "every con- tract made by the United Shoe Ma chinery company will become unlaw- full because they may not only tend to lessen substantially competition, but they do it; they not only tend to cFe- ate a monopoly but they do create it"

I think Villa is big enough man to admit his mistake when it is once brought home to him. Mexico can use both the services or Carranza and Villa, acting in their proper spheres.
