den, and the House Of Representatives
was laid to-day 10y the report that the

The provision met with bitter criticism
when 1t was presented to the House.

advanced In the interest of the water

Rcp~resentatlvc Lonrworth Of ohio and

process was obsolete. The fact that
German interests have disposed of their
holdings in such plants In Norway and
that the country has maintained itself

argument against the Muscle shoals
