Of depression. He commended the
group-marketing movement, and said
In part:
know no single movement that
promises more help toward the
present relief and the permanent
betterment of agricultural condi-
uons than this one. Whoever
has cared to read my recent mes
sage to the Congress will under
stand the depth Of my conviction
about the necessity to do every
thing possible to help the farmer
through his present era of de-
precision.
FARMERS MUST HELP.
i am anxious that the govern

/ am still more anxious that the
farmers themselves cooperate to
make the governments efforts
efficacious.
In the long run government aid
cannot be made effective unless
the farmers shall be organized
and alive to their own respon-
sibility to establish and use prac-
teal instruments for the distri-

ance Of the most economical mar

Jones Obtains Consent to Fore
90 Morning Hour Today to
Speed Up Subsidy Measure
VIRTUAL FILIBUsTER IS ON
Senator Fletcher Takes Up En-
~tire Session in Speech to
Empty Benches Against It
BY Universal Service.

Democratic opposition to the
ship subsidy bill took on all the
characteristics of an organized
6libuster in the Senate yesterday.
Senator Fletcher of Florida
took up the entire time of the
session from 2 o'clock until 5
with a speech against the bill,
which was delivered to empty
seats, not more than five Sem
ators at one time remaining in
the chamber.
La TOILETTE TO SPEAK.
Fletcher read reports and testi.
mDny given before the committee
at great length, the burden of his
argument being that the Govern.
ment should retain its ships and
operate them under Government
management.
Senator La Toilette Is expected to
occupy nearly all of today's ses.
sion in opposing the bill.
Senator Jones, who has the bill
in charge, was successful in OBJ.
tanning unanimous agreement for
an arrangement to speed up con.
sideration Of the bill by having the
S<nate take a recess instead of the
usual adjournment. By this means
discussion of the bill will be started
as soon as the Senate convenes al
noon. and there will be no morn
ing hour" for the transaction of
other business.
URGES EARLIER HOUR.
At the conclusion of Fletcher's
speech, Jones undertook to get an
agreement for the Senate to meet
at II o'clock in the morning in
stead Of at noon He said 1t was
necessary to have more time for the
subsidy bill. because other legisla.
ton was before the Senate and the
period between 2 o'clock and was
not long enough.
Fletcher objected to Jones' re.
quest. on the ground that impor.
tant committee meetings were held
In the morning and it would be
impossible for all members to be in
the Senate at IL.
Jones then modified his request
10 provide for a recess, and il was
granted. Under this arrangement
the subsidy bill will be kept be.
fore the Senate all day unless it Is
temporarily laid aside for the Com.
merce Appropriation bill, which has
been completed by the Appropria.
tions Committee.
