The Dyer Anti-Lynehing Bill Fight Ex

Washington.-Administrationf forces
in the Senate lost the first major leg
islative contest of the extra session
when Democrats and Progressive Re-
publicans united to recommit tho res
olution authorizing a loan OF $4,000.

The motion to recommit the rcsolu.
ton to the Finance Committee with.
out instructions. which was offered by
Senators Simmons. Democrat. OF

Democrats to send the measure back

ter. OF Washington: Sutherland OF
West Virginia and Watson. of Indiana.
The vote was generally interpreted.
as killing the resolution which was
advocated by the State Department
and was passed by the House last
May. Attached TO the resolution as
an amendment was a provision au.
thorizing an appropriation OF S20000.-
900 for reclamation work in the West.
and another for employment by the
Interstate Commerce Commission of
30 additional locomotive boiler in
spectors.
The Senate rejected. 80 to a. an
amendment offered by Senator Nc
Nary. to send the resolution back to
committee with instructions to elm
mate the Liberian loan feature and re-
port back the reclamation and loco
motive boiler inspectors provisions.
Administration leaders urged adop-
ton OF the resolution on the grounds
that the United States was morally
obligated to extend a credit OF 5000
900 to Liberia as a result of Liberals
participation on the side Of the Allies
in the World War Opponents con-
tended no moral obligation existed
and charged Republicans with en-
deavoring to put through the loan in
order TO carry political favor with the
negroes in the United States.
After disposing OF the Liberan loan
resolution the Senate took up the
Dyer anti-lynching bill. but got no
further than motion TO take It up.

was passed by the House last session,
