JUST WHY THE WHISTLES
DIDN'T SOUND LAST NIGHT

Just why the multitude of steam
whistles failed to join last night in
requiem to o. U. Knocker as the
pageant started was a fact developed
today. Arrangements had been made
to have all the manufacturing plants
start their whistles in grand blast at
1870 o'clock. and when they blasted
not, the funeral party wondered why.
To-day Manager Hyman learned that
some unknown knocker, evidently a
twin brother of 80. IT," had quietly
telephoned all the mills last night that
the fl olic had been called off and no.
to sound the whistles. The trick sue
ceeded, and now the Chamber of Com
merce would like to know who play
ed it.

Washington, D. ca drawn bat
tie on the administration shipping
bill in the senate came tonight after
one of the most strenuous parlia-
mentary struggles congress has
known in recent years. From II a.
m. Friday, all through Friday night
and again today and tonight the CON
test proceeded with a spirit of deter
mination little short of desperation
on both sides. The great stake, a
final vote on the bill, which would
break the senate deadlock and re-
lease the blockade of legislation, was
just ahead, for the presiding officer
had ordered that the ayes and hayes
be taken as soon as debate should
end. No further parliamentary de-
vice was available and physical en-
durance alone remained to hold back
the taking Of the vote.
Although the democrats agreed to
recess at midnight at the end Of thir-
ty-seven hours of continuous debate,
administration leaders insisted that
such action meant no let up in their
determination to press the bill.
1t is the most spectacular Iegisla-
tive battle since the fight on the Can
non rules.
After an all-night session, in
which Senator Smoot had led the re
publican filibuster by speaking con-
tinuously for eleven hours and thirty
FIVE minutes, and democratic parlia-
mentary experts had kept vigil in
vain for an opportunity to order d
roll call, fresh republican forces
trooped into the chamber early today
and Senator Sutherland took up the
fight.
Senators of both parties called
from beds and banquets had held
the battle line all night. Through
the long hours Senator Smoot had
the floor without signs of fatigue UNI
til daylight came streaming through
the senate chamber, the reserves of
both sides snatched maps in the cloak
rooms, on sofas, in the chamber or
at their desks.
Just before Senator Smoot gave
way to Mr.. Sutherland he forced a
roll call 1t disclosed a quorum and
it was evident the republican re-
serves were prepared to carry their
fight through another all-night ses-
sion if necessary and the democrats
we're holding a majority within call
at the first opportunity to take a
vote.
The slightest relaxation, a parlfa-
mentary slip by the republicans
might give the democrats their OPP
portun1ty OF dropping the gaveI for a
roll call They claim to have the
votes ready to pass the bill.
Dawn found the United States SEN
ate still in session today and the mi
nority waging a desperate battle
against time and physical weakness
to prevent the passage of the gov
eminent ship purchase bill, which
the majority has decreed shall be
voted upon before any other business
is transacted.
