 CONSIDERED BY THE SENATE

Washington, Dec 2O.-Anti-strike leg islation which has gone a part of the way through congress got momentary consideration again today in the senate
 Senator Poindexter, republican, Wash ington, whose bill designed to discour- age strikes in interstate commerce was passed by the senate last week without a word of debate and in an almost empty chamber, but was held from going to the house by a motion by Senator LaFol- lette Wisconsin, to reconsider, gave mo- tice that he would ask shortly for the removal of the parliamentary barrier Senator Poindexter said that he intended to give the Wisconsin senator a full <pp- portunity to bring the reconsideration | motion up for debate but if that was not done, he would ask the senate to table it and let the bill proceed Senator Robinson, democrat, Arkan- sas, protested in behalf of the motion 1 to reconsider, although Senator LaFol- i lette, who was in the chamber, did not join in the debate.
 This bill passed the senate under a l rule designed to facilitate legislation to which there is TO objection and no op- position" Senator Robinson said 1T an not disposed to criticise senators who failed to object to it's consideration, and remove the unanimous consent agree. lment under which the sena.e was operat- Fling, but it is a measure upon which there 1 is a sharp division of opinion and tr
 which there is most substantial opposi
 ton. It doesn't make this bill any
 friends to try and close off debate upor | it."
 1 Senator Shoot, republican, Utah, a i this point interjected:
 50 far as I am concerned, there i!
 no desire to shut off debate and I an
 consequently in favor of letting the mo tion to reconsider come up for discus sion.''
