during the day the Senate, weary Of the
long struggle. rejected in rapid success
sion the amendments that were offered
to might.

move was defeated, however, and the
legislative appropriation bill was taken
up instead.

The big fight expected over amend.
ments providing for submission Of the
tolls question to arbitration. and over
the outcome OF which the repeal leaders
were In some doubt failed TO MATERIAL
ize. Senator Norris. Of Nebraska. Of
fcred his amendment for arbitration.
This was a signal for Senator after
Senator on each side OF the repeal con-
troversy to declare that he would vote
against the adoption Of such an amend.
ment. a.
Senator Burton, Of Ohio. declared
that he yielded to no man In devotion.
to the cause Of arbitration. but II had
been determined to settle the tolls con-
troversy through repeal Of the law. and
he did not believe In bringing In arbi-
tration at this late hour.
Senators Bristow and Stone gave ~
their reasons for opposing arbitration
their belief that the tolls question was
a domestic matter and not properly
arblrrable.
