SENATE BLOCK
OF GAG MOTION
BY FILIBlSTER
Republicans Strive to Stop
Adoption Of Limited
Debate Rule.

Republican Senators began a fili-
buster yesterday to block the adop-
ton Of the proposed new rule of the
Senate TO shut OF long debate. Mo-
lions to adjourn, calls for a quo
rum. and other delaying measures
were resorted to by Senators who
are opposed to making any change
in the time-honored. practice Of the
Senate.
1t was announced by Senator
Brandegee. of Connecticut. leader
OF the flibuster. that these tactics
would be continued until every re-
source that might prevent adoption
of the new rule had been exhausted.
VIII Call Resolution Again.
Senator Underwood. in charge of
the resolution. declared that he
would call IL up again today and
would seek to bring it to vote.
Senator Hardwick, of Georgia,
made a speech against the rule He
said that the Senate was the last
forum in the world where freedom
of speech existed and nothing should
be done to destroy 1t.
An against lhO UNI
also made by Senator Brandegee.
who said there was no necessity for
limiting depate.
Il see no reason whatever to at
tempt to infiict either absolute or
partial cIoture on speeches in the
Senate" he said. 1T was only In
the last session that a measure was
adopted to give a modified cloture.
and even that has never been ap-
pcaled to. This proposal is even
more drGstiV. Nothing has come up
since the armed ship debate to make
il necessary TO impose any restrtc-
ton on the freedom OF speech in the
Senate. Many measures are pro-
posed here in which the two Sena-
tors from a State which might be
adversely affected cannot possibly
do justice to the subject in the
space of two hours.
TT is easy to take leaps in the
dark especially when the people are
emotionalIy disturbed or excited.
But what Is the occasion for limit
ing a senator TO oue-hOur speeches?
Nothing has happened in this ses-
sion TO make such action necessary.
II something should happen il will
be time enough then to shut OF de-
bate. but it should not be done now"
Adjournment Defeated.
The first motion to adjourn. made
by Senator Brandegec. was defeated
80 to a. Several calls for a quo
rum were made. and finally Senator
Curtis moved to adjourn and the
motion carried.
Senator Underwood announced af-
ter adjournment that he was conf
dent the rule would be adopted.

urges U. S. STEADILY
To BID FOR S. A. TRADE
Consistent. Constructive Action
Needed. Says PA. Director.

Need for consistent, constructive
action by the people of the United
States if they would retain their
commercial supremacy in South
america was emphasized by Direc-
tor John Barrett of the Pan-Ameri-
can Union in an address at a meet
ing of the Business Women's Coun
Gil of the Y. W. c \. in New York
Avenue Presbyterian Church last
night.
Characterizing Germany's propa-
ganda as "insidious and heIlish,"
Director Barrett described some of
the ways in which the would-be
world monopolists were working at
excellent and harmonious relations
between the two Americas.
When the war has ended we must
not find the Americas disintegrated.
but must find them brought closer
together" declared the speaker. He
explained that the Latin Americans
had a sincere feeling of friendship
and love for their brethren Of the
north, and declared that even in
Mexico there was a strong pro-Unit-
ed States and pro-ally sentiment.
Germany wanted this country to
go to war and knew she was going
to force the United States into the
world conflict. declared the direc-
tor. In anticipation of this. and
on orders from representatives of
the German government at that time
in this country, Germans and pro-
Germans in South America, just
prior to the entry of the United
States into the war. had gathered
all agricultural supplies and gold
which they could get from the Unit
ed States. Now. with the United
States and its allies engaged in
making the world safe for democ-
racy.- the manufacturing industry
and expectation had been cut down
in such manner that Americans.
British and French tradesmen in
Latin America could not obtain
these articles.
Director Barrett asserted that the
general opinion that German trade
had been dominant in South America
prior to the great war was a mis-
take. The United States. he said.
was dominant. with Great Britain
holding second place.

INQUIRY FOR COTTON
FUTURES QUOTATIONS

A special investigation of cotton
futures quotations was ordered yes
terday by the Secretary Of Agricul-
ture through the cotton futures sec
ton Of the Bureau of Markets. The
reason for the inquiry is the appar-
ent disparity between prices of
middling cotton as quoted in spot
markets and as quoted by the New
York and New Orleans future ex-
changes. The department has also
taken up with the War Industries
Board the question OF utilizing cot

F e deral Commission Re.
ports 1917 Profits More
Than Previous Year.

The Federal Trade Commission
has completed the second phase of
its food investigation and forward
ed a report to the President, il
was announced yesterday. The re-
port covers the costs and prices
of all canned goods. exclusive of
meats and fish.
It shows that Gamers in 1917
averaged a 80 per cent profit in in
vestments as compared to 8 per
cent in 1916. and 1t points out that
although the War Industries Board
has regulated tin prices, the price
of tin cans has been unreguiated.
The report also says that the Food
Administration was not entirely
successful in preventing large ad-
vances in raw vegetable prices IN
1917"
20 Per Cent Investment.
As an example of large profits.
the report says that Libby, Mcneil
and Libby, the second largest can
ner in the country, and a subsi-
diary of Swift and Company, the
packing house, made more than 10
per cent on its investment in 1917.
Several recommendations are
made. the foremost of which are
the extension of credit facilities
for Gamers through a government
agency similar to the farm loan
bank. and the discontinuance of the
sale of all futures, prior to Feb
ruary 1 of each year. The report
deprecates the practice of labelling.
whereby large packers. brokers and
wholesalers are enabled to place
their labels on canned goods re-
gardless of where they were pack
ed.
The Commission investigated the
actual operation of more than sixty
canneries and brokerage houses.
jobbers and wholesale grocers
in New York and Chicago.
1t found that the rise in
the prices of canned goods during
1917 was no greater than the in
creases in the prices of all food
stuffs in the corresponding period
Iniquities Found.
The principal inequities found in
the industry are summarized in the
report as follows:
Unlimited trading in futures, lack
of credit facilities, the absence of
a standardized delivery contract.
unrestricted re-selling, improper
labelling of products, and the lack
of Standardization of grades.
The commission recommends re-
striction of associational activity
among the Gamers to guard against
the recurrence of instances wherein
price advances were directly trace
able to the activity of associations
in the industry.
