SHIPPING BILL PASSES
SENATE BY PARTY VOTE
BITTERLY CONTESTED; MEANT
TO RESTORE AMERICAN
MARINE

Washington Aug 19-The govern
ment shipping bin passed the senate
last night by a vote of 3S to q, ending
one Of the most bitterly contested
legislative struggles of the Wilson ad
minstration. In the last congress the
measure precipitated a democratic
revolt and a filbuster which forced
postponement Of many important bills,
but revised so as to minimize the gov
ernment operation feature, the meas
ure received today unanimous demo
cratic support and solid republican
opposition 1t already has passed the
house.
Passage of the bill paved the way
for consideration OF the revenue bill,
beginning next week.
While the senate was disposing OF
the shipping measure the house agreed
to three conference reports in the
general legislative cleanup and, despite
the Presidents veto of the army ap-
preparation bill party managers now
are hopeful all pending business can
be cleared for adjournment by Sep
