ACTION MAY COME ANY TINE

WASHINGTON. Jan. 30 An
armistice in the battle on the admin
istration shipping bill in the senate
came tonight after one of the most
strenuous parliamentary struggles
congress has known in recent years.
From II q. m. yesterday all through
last night and today and into another
night the contest proceeded with a
spirit little short of desperation on
both sides, until the wearied leaders
agreed to a recess at midnight until
10 a. m. onday.
Always just ahead was final vote
on the shipping bill. which would break
the senate deadlock and release the block
ads OF legislation The presiding officer
had ordered the ayes and nays on the
vote, and no further parliamentary ad-
vice was available to the opposing re-
publicans. Physical endurance alone re-
mained TO hold back the taking of the
vots.
Means No Letup.
Although the democrats proposed the
recess over Sunday to interrupt the
thirty-seven-hour continuous debate; ad-
ministration leaders insisted that the
action meant no let up in their determin-
alton to press the bill.
We agreed to the recess because of
Sunday" said Senator Simmons, "just
as we. did in the filibuster against the
rivers and harbors appropriation bill last
fall But beginning. Monday at 10 O'Clock
it IS our purpose to press the bill with
all The force that is in our power"
Senator Simmons announced he was au-
thorized to deny reports that the admin
istration was considering Withdrawing the
shipping bill from the senate. He stated
that he could say authoritatively that
there was not one scintiIla of truth in the
report.
Late in the day Senator william Alden
Smith of Michigan relieved his republican
colleagues who had been holding the
floor since early Monday morning, when
Senator Smoot concluded his all-night
speech.
Smith 'sPalnta some."
Senator Smith turned his attention to
the bitter arraignment Of the administra-
TONS policy and painted a gloomy word
picture of the business condition OF the
country under the democratic tariff. Ar
era of "record-breaking business mortal
ity" had followed the enectment of that
tariff. he said, and he characterized the
Shipping bill as the fifth administration
folly.N
II don't think we have ever had a pres
idept who was so hopeful with 80 little
cause as the present incumbent of ? the
White House," he said. From the day
he signed the tariff bill he has not let q
week go by without proclaiming that
prosperity was here"
Senator Smith read many figures which
he declared proved the conditions he
had recited. and repeatedly challenged
the democrats to answer his statement.
Majority members refused TO be drawn
into a tariff debate. however. ignoring
the challenges with weary, apethetie
silence,

AID MERCHANTS TO
HOLD FOREIGN TRADE

The Federal Trade Commission has
announced a plan of aiding American
business men TO meet foreign competl-
tors on an equal footing.
The commission will divide the coun-
try into zones and maintain in each
zone experts in accounting, costs ana
manufacturinE upon whom manufac-
turers, wholesalers and retailers may
call for advice and assistance in prac-
tiCing economies.
One OF the first results OF this plan,
declares Vice Chairman f. n. Hurley.
will be to aid the business men of
the country to obtain additional bank
credit BY esta tablishing standard
system of bookkeeping and cost ac-
counting, Mr.. Hurley believes. bust
mss men will be enabled to so present
balance sheets that they will be
enabled to get the full bank credit
they are entitled 70.
Sample forms for presentation to a
bank by merchants seeking credit, TO
show assets and liabilities and methods
Of arriving at cost and a form OF double
entry bookkeeping adapted to particular
lines OF business will be sent by the
commission to banks where they may
be obtained by business men
