WASHINGTON, July 7.-An effort
by republican senators to further an
agreement by which action on the gov
ernment shipping bill would be post
poned until the next session of con-
gress failed today when administration
senators announced that the bill would
be pressed regardless Of the reports OF
a filibuster. II was declared demo-
cratic opposition virtually had been
overcome by amendments which will
not materially alter the principal feat
ures of the bill.
Senator'S Simmons, Fletcher and
Reed, members Of the commerce COM
mittee which has the measure in hand,
conferred with President Wilson after

republican members were told that it
would be impossible to redraft the bill
to meet with the approval of the NIL

between champions of the measure and
democrats inclined to oppose it, re-
suited in assurances that a common
ground for agreemet could be reached
and it was to inform the president OF
this development that the special com
mittee went to the White House. The
president told his visitors he was much
pleased at the prospect.
Two amendments calculated to over

seriously considered. One would speci-
