senate bills. Senate conferees are

Democrats favoring the measure
were denoupced by Senator Reed
(MO), Democrat, as unworthy to re-
main in the Democratic party" and
were invited to &c and sit with he
Republicans if they could find extra
chairs. He characterized the bill as "a
stupendous legislative fraud that
would increase the cost of living"
Further emphasizing tine breaks in
party lines, Senator Moses, Republican,
eYcoriated his Republican colleagues
who supported the bill and drew heav-
lily on a comprehensive vocabulary of
uncomplmentary epithets by saying
the bill was ian unwise yielding to
house pressure, the offspring of a union
between the cotton field, sugar cane
brake, rice paddy and the sheep range
and wheat field, a misshapen brat at
best, lOpsided blind, deaf, handy leg
ged and suffering from congenital eco
nOmic ricketts,"

ons ald some other articles
While the proponents of the measure
argued throughout the long fight since
1t reached the senate late in December
that il would relieve the crisis con-
fronted by agriculture, its opponents
have insisted mat IN The long run it
would merely add [ the high cost Of
living, that it is class Legislation and
that Republicans are lot sincere i'm
trying to ISIS II as relief me sure,
but merely for partisan effect.
Senator Underwood Democratic
leader, has repeatedly forecast its yeto
by President Wilson on the ground
that arbitrarily it increases living
costs.
Its removal from the senate cal endar
will hasten action on appropriation
bills and heavy drive will be made
TO get as many passed as humanity
possible. The best Informed senators
believe that some appropriation bills,
probably including the naval bill, will
fail.
