WASHINGTON, Feb. 1s.-The fight
over the amended government shin
purchase bill was renewed In the sen.
ate today with the fate OF the measure
stlll uncertain.
with Il view Of clearing the situa
tion, the Democratic leaders were

another effort to send the bill TO con.
ference for further amendment In or.
der 10 win the support OF recalcitrant
Democrats and progressive Republi-
cans. They are not satisfied with tho
bill In Its present form. The support
Of either faction Is necessary 10 the
passage OF the measure. Unsuccessful
attempts were made In the senate yes
terdny to send the measure TO con.
frence.
In renewing the attempt today the
Democrats leaders were confronted
with the prospects that the Republl-
cans who declare the bill Is dead
would insist upon consideration OF the
supply measures before they let up in
their opposition to the shipping bill
Administration leaders believe they
can find a way to take up the appro-
priation bills in day or so
One basis on which leaders were
negotiating today was a proposal to
send the ship bill to conference for
ten days; work on the thirteen pend.
Ing bills In the meanwhile and then
debate the ship bin for the remaining
hours Of the session. Republicans
showed no intention to relax their fiji.
buster II that plan were followed.
