BLOCK
RETIRES SHIP BILL
TO A CONFERENCE
Democratic Senators Forced to Give Way and
Agree to Take Up Appropriations

Washington, Feb INTELLECTUALLY
blocked in their efforts to get the
House ship purchase bill to a vote,
Democratic senators today agreed to
take up appropriation bills and sent
the shipping measure to conference
until Feb. 81, when it must take its
chances Of being filibustered to its
death on March 4.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1915-02-19

All senators seemed to agree that
there would be no extra session Of
Congress.
When the time came to put the agree
ment into operation revolving Democrats
and other senators opposed letting the
bill go to conference until votes could
be had on their amendments. There was
a flood of oratory and a long series Of
roll calls and amendments were voted
down.
Trouble Starts
Senator Bankhead started the trouble
with an amendment to provide that gov
shipping. This amendment was defeated
81 to 43, the alignment which has pre-
vailed for many weeks being entirely
broken up. Senator Hitchcock then re-
newed his amendment to prevent the ex-
portation of munitions OF war to bellig-
erent nations. This was tabled 81 to S.
An amendment by Senator O'Gorman to
prohibit purchase OF belligerent ships
was tabled IS to So, one by William AL
den Smith to create a commission to
study the problem Of ocean Transports
ton was tabled 50 to Al, and one by SEN
ator Poindexter to prevent government
ships plying between the United States
and belligerent ports met like fate.
Another Amendment
Another Poindexter amendment to au-
thorize the President to expend $50 0oo, 600
for construction of ships in American
shipyards and to operate them outside
of the war zone also was defeated
The Fletcher motion to send the ziIl
to conference then prevailed without a
dissenting vote.
Conferees appointed were Senators
Fletcher. Ransde1l, Martin, Simmons
Nelson, Burton and Crawford.
