ANII-BEER BILL
gets SETBACK
Members Give Privileged
Status To $lOO,O0O,OOO
Farmers Relief Corp.
CHURCHMEN PROTEST
/ SENATE RULING

WASHINGTON. July 10. - Pleas
for Immediate enactment OF the
willis-Campben anti-medical bill
fell on deaf ears in the Senate.
which by a vote Of AZ to II decided
to give priority to the Norris farm
export finance bill.
Delay and not defeat OF the beer
bill. it was said. would result. the
Senate vote being regarded as ex-
pressing the view that aid TO farm
ers was more Of an emergency than
amendment Of the Volstead law.
BY making the Norris bin to Gre
ate a federal corporation with $780,
100000 Of capital and power TO is
sue one billion dollars OF securities
in financing farm exports, its ''un-
finished business" with daily privi-
iege status, the Senate somewhat set
its future program. following recon-
mittment last week OF the soldiers
bonus bill. During the week the Sem
ate expects to pass the Sheppard
baby bill" for government aid TO
maternity and infancy. Other meas
ures in immediate prospect are the
Sweet bill for defunding the allied
debt and several more farmer relief
measures.
Prohibition leaders today urged
the Senate to take up the beer meas
ure instead Of the Norris bill, but
the Senats Needed counter-pleas OF
the agricultural bloc" Several sem
ators OF the prohibition group voted
70 push ahead the Norris bill, declar-
ing the agricultural situation was
more critical than the prohibition
and that the prohibition measure
soon would be passed in any event
Those in charge OF the beer bill
planned to call II up for an hour
or two daily until. under Senate rules
it is forced to give way to the Norris
bill. Whether the beer measure
could be passed under this procedure
was said by its managers 10 be prob
] lematical They expressed belief
. that the Treasury Department would
continue TO hold up regulations per
+ mitting prescriptions OF beer a.
medicine.
The contest between the probibi-
\ ton and agricultural groups devei-
oped that another movement was OF

day by a House vote Of more than
two to one.

what compensatory rates on all cot

essary by reason OF the imposition
of a tax on the raw product There
was no explanation Of the commit
tees action in deciding at the last
moment not TO take the ordinary va
riety Of cotton such as is raised in
the south from the free list.
The real fiare-up was over the
oil schedule. II broke at the out
set OF the session after Chairman
Fordney had presented letter from
President Harding opposing the tax
and suggesting rather a bargaining
provision to be placed in his hands
70 guard against the levy OF duties
against us or the imposition by other
nations OF export tariffs which are
designed to hinder the facilitation OF
trade"
The first vote on the contested oil
amendment came after three hours
and a half OF debate. Representa-
tive Garrett. Of Tennessee, Demo
cratic leader. tried TO shut of debate
at once so that the bill. he explained,
, might be taken up for amendment
under the ordinary five-minute rule
but Republicans rejected his propo-
sal by a straight party vote
Then at the end OF the long period
OF talk the first test was in an
amendment by Representative Car

committee rates on crude oil from
35 cents to 25 cents and fuel oil
from 25 cents to 20 cents a barrel
