When Congress convened again late in September is found that no agreement had been reached, and it announced that the whole matter would go until the regular session of Congress
 In the meantime the Republican Convention in New York declared against the Fordney Bill. More recently the American Manufacturers Export Associa- tion likewise declared against it.
