Senator watson, republican. Indiana. de-
clared that a. vote of the senate to ac-
cent 1t would be nothing less than a
vote of a lack of confidence in the pres
ident Of the United States"
Senator Borah, republican, Idaho, took
issue with the Indiana senator, declaring
that congress had caused the creation
of a debt and that it was responsible
to the people for what happened to It,
Senator Watson told the senate that
the secretary Of the treasury had au-
thority to refund that portion of the for
eiCn debt represented by direct advances
for the treasury to the allied nations
but he did not have authority to refuno
the deferred interest and the other oo1-
cations growing out of the sale of Amer
ican war material and relief supplies
to France Poland and other nations.
Senator Glass. Virginia, former Sec
retary of the treasury, and Senator
Simmons of North Carolina, both demo-
Gratis, contended that the secretary had
full authority to refund the deferred IN
terest. Chairman McCumber, of the fin
ance committee, in charge of the BILL
disputed this contention. Both he and
Senator Watson also argued that the
United States should not insist that the
refunded bonds bear the, same condi-
| tions as the American Liberty bonds as
provided by present law. They said con-
ditions in the world had changed and
that the present conditions should be
taken into account In the refunding nego-
! tiations.
Closing the days discussion, Senator
/ Hehlin. democrat, Alabama, wanted to
know what Wall street interests were
behind the proposition that the govern
ment put off to some far distant time the
| collection of the interest" He said II
had been suggested that the holders Of
British and other foreign bonds sold ir
this country during the war waited tht
government to defer its interest collec
tions so that the privately held bands
could be taken care Of by the foreign
nations.

PACKING HOUSE WORKERS
VOTE TO CONTINUE STRIKE

Chicago, Jan. 2s.-More than ninety
per cent. of the striking packing house
workers voted today to continue the
strike which has been in effect since De-
cember according TO figures announced
tonight by officials Of the AmalganateI
Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen of
North America.
These figures are based on the votes
cast in East st. Louis. St. Joseph. No.
Oklahoma City, Kansas City, Omaha.
Sioux City, Denver, Albert Lea. Mimi.
and a part of the Chicago vote.
The strike was called after the larger
packing plants had negotiated agree
ments directly with their employees pro-
viding for a cut in wages and had re
fused to recognize the union.
The packers employed other workmen
TO take the places CT the strikers and
while some of the smaller plants were
badly crippled, most of them continued to
operate. The government attempted 10
arbitrate the strike but the larger pack
] ers refused to do so, contend1ng there
was not dispute to arbitrate.
