Substitute for the Borah
Resolution Today.

the Borah disarmament amendment to
the naval appropriation bill, the House
day a joint resolution concurring in
foreign affairs committee reported to-
''the declared purpose" of President
Harding to call an international con-
ference to limit ornaments. All Re-
publican members voted for the resolu-
ton, Democrats either opposing or
voting present. AS a substitute for
the measure, Representative Flood of
Virginia, ranking Democrat on the COM
mittee, offered a resolution authorizing
and requesting the president to invite
all nations to send delegates to the
convention to provide for disarma-
ment and making an appropriation
therefore, but it was rejected The OBJ
ject of the committee resolution which
later was presented in the House by
Chairman Porter, was to express to
House conferes on the naval appro-
priation bill the attitude of the body
on the whole question of disarmament
Although the rules committee had
voted to give privileged status to a
motion to send the naval bill to con-
ference Immediately, House leaders. de-
cided to defer consideration of it I'M
til tomorrow. The fight among house
members to top off $98,OOO,OOO added
to the bill by the Senate was secondary
in popular interest to the efforts to
side-track the Borah amendment and
substitute the Porter resolution which
would put the president actually at the
head of any disarmament movement. A
Democratic conference was called for
late today to decide on party stand
with respect to disarmament and the
peace resolution, the latter being on

KILLED BY SENATE
Senaor Huber Votes Against His Pet
Measure in Final Test in the
Senate This Morning.
(By Associated Press Leased Wire)


Madison, Wis.-The Huber unem-
ployment prevention bill was defeated
in the senate today, 20 to II, following
reconsideration of the vote by which
it was killed last week. Senator Huber.
author of the measure, moved the in
definite postponement of his own pro-
posal and voted for its death, after
the Kuckuk amendment, including all
empIoyments under its provisions, was
carried 16 TO IA.
Debate was marked by bitterness en-
the part of senator's who threw back
and forth charges of lack Of faith,
playing of politics, and submission to
diamond wearing lobbyists. Adoption
of the Kuckuk amendment caused a
flare-up which brought about a sharp
division among the senators.
"If the principle of the bill is cor
rect, as l feel that it is, then its pro.
visions should extend to all occupa.
tions," Senator Kuckuk said He wsf
backed up by Senator Bird who de-
clared that he could not understand
the position of Senator Huber in op-
posing his own measure when its pro-
visions were merely broadened.
Il knew yesterday that this bill was
dead" Senator Huber said, "when
saw these gentlemen with diamonds as
big as hickory nuts in the corridors,
reclining on the touches and talking
to senators. have high regard for
the lobbyists who work in the open,
but have nothing but contempt for
those lobbyists who work like a snake
in the grass or a burglar in the night
time"
Following this statement Senator
Kuckuk said that he would defy the
senator to point out any lobbyist who
has approached the author of the
amendment, concerning the bill I also
defy him to vote for the bill when it
is made fair and just, to go on record
as to how he wants to stand before
the laboring men"
There is no way of reviving the pro-
posed unemployment insurance at this
session. Members expressed them
selves as of the belief that it would
be revived two years from now when
conditions were more stable.
