dispose of the goods and then leave the
city.

SENATE MAY ADOPT
CLOSURE BY MAJORITY
Subcommittee on Rules
Agrees to Report Proposal.
Special Dispatch to THE New YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.

Special Dispatch 10 THE NEW YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington. ID. c.. Dec. IL.
The subcommittee of the Senate Rules
Committee has reached an agreement
upon an amendment to the rules to in
woke the closure upon n majority vote
instead of a two-thirds vote, as at pres
ent, as a means to expedite legislation
and cut off irrelevant debate.
This procedure Is in keeping with
views entertained by Administration Of
ficials. who believe sucha course of ac-
tion is necessary to force through Con-
gress important legislation. They point
out that much Of the Harding program
was not carried out at the last session
of Congress because of the influence
and activity of certain minorities known
as ''blocs" organized against the passage
of certain legislation.
Within a few days the subcommittee.
of which Senator Nelson (Minn.) is
chairman, will make It's report to the
full Rules Committee and the indications
are that that committee will approve
the more drastic closure. However II
is expected that the plan will meet with
stout opposition in the Senate and may
be killed by prolonged filibuster.
