MANY LOBBYISTS WORKING
Final Action ON Project Is Ex-
pected to Be Favorable at
Senate Session Today.
(Ry Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Jan. i1.-Final
passage by the senate of the bill pro-
posing the creation of a government
corporation to operate the nitrate
plant at Muscle Shoals, Ala, was pre-
dicted today by it's proponents after
a motion had been defeated to recon-
NIT the bill to the agricultural COM
mittee. Although it was by the mar
row majority of one vote that the ad-
vocate won, the latter regarded it as
test of sentiment and claimed that
additions would even be made to their
ranks
Charges that lobbyists were at
work for and against the bill were
made by both sides during debate.
Senator Kenyon, republican, Iowa, de-
clared there was a Muscle Shoals lob
by and that Washington is crowded
with lobbyists. Senator Underwood.
democrat. Alabama, asserted that a
fertilizer lobby" was fighting the bill
and Senator Stanley, democrat, Ken
lucky, said the fertilizer trust, the
Chilean nitrate trust and the cooke
oven people" were opposing the legis-
lation.

Kenyon that the lobbyists should be

democrat, Massachusetts, said ''re-
Gently there has been a great increase
in lobbyists"
Maybe it is because the next ad-
ministration will have better oppor-
tunity to pass legislation for special
interests he added.
Following the vote on recommittaI,
the senate adopted an amendment by
Senator Smith democrat South Caro-
lima, to give farmers first considera-
ton in the sale of the products made
at Muscle Shoals and providing that
any of it sold to manufacturers OF
fertilizers should be with the agree
ment that it must be re-sold to farm
ers at reasonable prices Senator
Wadsworth. republican, New York,
then launched another attack on the
bill from which a. debate developed
that prevented further action until
tomorrow.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1J.-Hearings on

concluded by the senate finance commit

measure feared. and opponents hoped
would be the means of adding amend
ments to the bill as 1t passed the house.
Senators McCumber, of North Dakota,
and LaFollette, of Wisconsin. republican
members of the committee, at the con-
clusion of the hearings, announced they
had statements to make relative to the
subject matter of the tariff. These will
be read at a session on Thursday when,
1t was indicated, several other senators
would also declare their attitude. Mr..
McCumber's statement will concern the
wheat duty, he said, and Mr.. LaFollette
said his would be with respect to cheese
on which the bill provides no additional
protection.
The close of the hearings brought in
dications of a concentration OF effort
among opponents of the bin, and the
turbulence with which some of them
discussed the question, was accepted to
mean they would go far in their fight
against passage of the measure which
is designed as an aid to farmers.
Already. a dozen amendments are
pending. Some of them, their sponsors
openly assert, are intended to be fac
tious but for the direct purpose Of taking
up the time of the senate and If pos
sible OF killing the bill, Senator Thomas,
of Colorado, and Harris. OF Georgia.

TO have their soldier bonus and immi-
grafton bills tackled on to the tariff
as amendments.
Another senator, IL was reported. was
prepared TO introduce an amendment
which would include the bill to recodify
the nations laws and to demand that
this amendment be read. 1t is a docu-
ment of sufficient length to keep reading

made this declaration today. With his
wife, known for 20 years in America
as a socialist worker under the name
of Jessie NJ Molle, he went TO Russia
last June and attended the second
congress OF the Third Internationale.
The couple were thrown into prison
on Aug. 6 because they failed to ap-
prove Of conditions In Russia. They
were released on Dec. 80. after Mrs.
Schwartz went on hunger strike, and
sent to Lenine. Trotzky and Tchitch-

have her death advertised TO the

than suffer further hardships at the

Mrs. Schwartz died at Reval on Dec.
20 from the effects of her long solitary
confinement and hunger in soviet pris-

America alone to give even worse pic
