By Associated Press

By Associated Press
 Washington, June 18.-Doom of the daylight saving, inaugu- rated as a war measure, was pronounced today by Congress, both Senate and House adopt ing by overwhelming votes measures to terminate opera tion of the law when the period of summertime ends next Octo- Der 26.
 The House, following three hours debate. by n vote of 2s3 ts l34. paased a hill to repeal the law on the f.~t Sunday in next October, but rejected fective at ohce. The Senate, by n vote of 50 to c, after brief disc ussfon. added q rider to the agricultural appropria- ton bill providing for repeal of the daylight measure on the same date fixed by the House bill.
 The Senate measure now goes to conference. with the agricultural bill. eiid titS.. 11Ouoc p4li IS to De sent to the Senate.

 Members of both Senate and House, in advoca ting repeal of the law en- acted March 1s 1918. said they were guided largely by wishes of farmers and iaboring men who oppose the ad- vanced working hours during the spring and summer season. Opponents of the repeal le<,islation declare the extra hour of daylight was a boon to city dwellcrs and asserted that others easily could adjust their affairs 70 conform to the advanced clock schsd : ule
 More than two score of House mem bers participated in the debate, but as most speeches were limited to d few minutes. all obtained permission to extend their remarks
 Senate discussion was confined vir- tually to addresses by Senator LaFol- lette, republican. of Wisconsin, cham pion of the repeal order, and Senator Calder. republican, of New York, au- thor of the daylight saving law. The six senators who voted against the re- peal order were Calder, Frelinghuysefi. Newberry. Page. Phipps and Robinson, all republicans except Robinson.

The interest and actual constructive plans of Alabama business to develop adequate tonnage was the most effective argument in presenting the case. The victory, in addition to all immediately tangible results, means the further de- velopment of the Warrior not only for commercial but for purposes of naviga- ton.
 BIRMINGHAM'S GREAT EXPORTS
 In that connection, c. D. Wood, chief engineer for the Birmingham Warrior river committee. spoke of plans afoot to push the Warrior still further into the hills by the construction of an addi- tional lock and to extend Birmingham's s limits r miles in order that it might be considered a port of entry with all ad- vantages which would accrue. He gave interesting facts to the effect that Bir- mingham's annual exports are valued at $21, ,o0o,0UV, while it's imports are valued at only s2,so0,o0o.
 Mobiles facilities, the tonnage of the Birmingham district, the activity of coal operators in plans to utilize the Warrior, were, of course, the chief factor in the victory. Testimony that Mobile has an advantage over New Orleans of 40 cents : per ton in freight charges on coal was the statement of R. O.. Kellog of the Munson Steamship company. That New Orleans line competing with his own from Mobile toS the east coast of South America, was compelled to retire from business, and the statement of H. F. Miller of the Mississippi Valley asso- citation, that that association generally impartial as between ports as in this instance, favored Mobile, were most ef- fective.
 HURLEY CALLS FOR TONNAGE

LEAGUE OF NATIONS ABLY DEFENDED BY SENATOR M'CUMbER
 IN 3-HOUR SPEECH
North Dakota Republican Replies to Arguments of Opponents, Declaring
 He Could Not Be In-
 fluenced by Party
By Associated Pres.

Washington, June 18.-The league of nations was support ed in the Senate today by Sen ator McCumber of North Da- kota, a republican member of the foreign relations commit tee, who argued in a three-hour speech that the covenant of fered a just and practicable plan for the preservation of world peace.
 The North Dakota senator replied to arguments of Senator Knox of Penn sylvania and other republican leaders and declared he could not be inliu- enced against the league plan by party considerations.
 sPartisan that am," he
 serted. "I hope I shall never be so
 hidebound or so blinded by party
 exigency as to oppose a just posi-
 tfon taken or truth declared by
 memDer or any OppoeltlOn party
 I could not cast my vote against
 any reasonable plan for the pres
 ervation of world peace without
 conviction that would follow mo
 to the grave that I had committed
 an unpardonabIe offense against
 nll future generations"
 The North Dakota senator charged there had been a campaign of misrep- resentation against the league. He opposed as a proposal calculated ''to sound the death knell of any scheme tc preserve peace the resolution of Sen ator Knox, which would declare the Senate's opposition to accepting the league covenant along with the peace terms.
 FIGHT EXPECTED FRIDAY
 The speech aroused no debate. but while the Senate was at work most of the day on appropriations there was much maneuvering in preparation for the fight expected Friday or Saturday to force a showdown of Senate opin- ion regarding the league. Several plans to this end were discussed. odt it is understood no decision was reached
 Some progress was made, however, on plans to coordinate the speaking tours of senators who will reply to President Wilson when he goes before the coun- try next month to appeal for support of the league. Although these plans have not yet reached a definite stage, Sena-
