CHIEF EXECUTIVE WHO WOULD
CHECK FILIBUSTER
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 16.-
President Wilson this morning stated
to an Associated Press representative
that he favors a reasonable general
cloture rule in the senate. Such rule,
he stated, should be adopted in order
to end the obstructive tactics row be-
ing used by republican senators fill
clustering against the administration
shipping bill, but the rule should not
be made so stringent as to halt fair
debate upon pending legislation.
Continuing, the president added that
in his opinion evidence of the need for
the shipping bill is hourly accumulat-
ing, and that before the present ses-
sion is ended the bill will be a law.
