DEADLOCK OVER
SHIPPING BILL
STILL UNBROKEN
Neither Its Friends Nor Its 0p.
ponents Are Able to Gain
Any Advantage.
EFFORTS ARE FRUITLESS
Attempts to Vote on Measure
and to Displace 1t Both
Beaten Wednesday.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2O-CBy A.
IPD-Five hours of debate and par
/ liamentary maneuvering in the SEN
ate today served only TO tighten the
deadlock which has existed for three
days between two opposing and al
most equal groups, one fighting TO
keep the administration shipping bill
before the senate and the other to
displace the measure.
Three separate and distinct efforts
were mude during the day to break
/ the deadlock through unanimous
! consent agreement to vote at a desig-
mated time upon the pending motion
/ to lay aside the shipping bin and TO
take up the Norris agricultural
/ financing measure, but each time an
/ objection nulifed the attempt. After
! the unsuccessful result of these ef-
: forts, the debate ran far afield. rang
/ ing from a discussion Of the disposi-
/ tion of the Muscle Shoals to charges
1 that Ambassador Harvey at London,
4 through his recent statement on the
| European situation, had endeavored
to affect the cotton and grain mark
cts in the United States.
Leaders Pcssimistic.
Shipping and agricultural relief
/ legislation were discussed at lesser
J length, and when the senate ad-
jOurned, administration leaders were
frankly pessinistic over the posi-
bility Of a vote within several weeks
upon the ship bill. General belief
was expressed that the Christmas
recess would come and go without a
/ break in the struggle for dominance
between those trying 10 keep the ship
bill before the senate until the rural
credits legislation can be reported
from the banking and currency COM
mntee and those members of the al
/ lance formed between foes of the
ship bill and advocates of the Norris
agricultural bill.
The initiative in the effort TO bring
the question involved in the deadlock
Ito an issue was made To-Day as on
yesterday and Monday, by Sen. Jones,
/ Republican. Washington, in charge
of the shipping bill, who proposed an
/ agreement TO vote at 3 o'clock today
, on the motion before the senate.
! Unanimous consent was refused by
Sen. Fletcher of Florida, leader Of
the Democratic opponents to the
shipping legislation, and Sen. Jones
thereupon proposed a vote at four
O'Clock. This was objected 10 by

Pointing out that the banking and

predicted that the rural credits legis-
