SEEK T0PUT CORB
ON TARIFF DEBATE
Senate Petition Invoking
CIoture Drawn by Curtis.
Lodge Signs.

Senate republican leaders today put
into operation, their plan to curb de-
bate on the long-pending tariff bill.
ture rule, operative under two
thirds vote, was drafted by Senator
Curtis of Kansas. republican. vice
chairman and party whip, and it's cir
culation begun.
The first name to the petition was
said to have been that of Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts,. republican
leader. Sixteen signatures only are
required under the rule to authorize
was planned to secure more before
taking further action.
That the motion for cloture would
not be made before next week was
probable. Republican senator's behind
the movement said they thought it
possible that within a few days the
necessary two-thirds vote might be
pledged.
ClOture Demand Renewed.
J. So slowly did the consideration of
the tariff bill proceed yesterday that
new impetus was given to the de-
mand made by many of the repub-
licans that a new majority cloture
rule for appropriation and revenue
measures be adopted.
Senator Watson, republican,. In
diana, was said to have made the
suggestion for an attempt to apply
the two-thirds rule now in the rule
book. He said he was planning
within a day or two to begin cir
culatirg a petition. 1t was hoped how
ever. to obtain in advance pledges of
the necessary two-thirds support. Re-
publican leaders said 1t was possible
that the necessary pledges might be OBJ
tanned, or within few votes of the re-
quired two-thirds.
Lodge Makes Threat.
Senator Lodge said he believed the
cloture move would be made If this
effort to get an early vote on the
bill should fail, Senator Lodge added,
the republican leadership was con-
sidering seriously the plan to lay
aside the tariff bill and make a fight
for the new rule TO invoke cloture by
majority vote and fight it out all

Committee amendments in only two
paragraphs of the bill were disposed
Of yesterday apd the votes on these
were the first the Senate had had since
the consideration of the measure was
resumed last Tuesday, following pas

A.E.L. VOTES down
RUSS RECOGNITION
Action Taken After Hard
Fight by Soviet Friends.
Convention to End.
BY the Associated Press.

CINCINNATI, June o4.-For the
the third successive year the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor was placed
on record by the action of its con-
vention here today against recogni-
tion of the soviet Russian govern
ment.
With adjournment tonight in sight,
the convention began its last days
work with the question of recogni-
tion of soviet Russia holding the
right of way. However, only two
speeches-one for, the other against
were possible under the parlfa-
mentary situation.
President Samuel Gompers and
other foes of the soviet, having
scored a preliminary victory in fore
stalling protracted debate were ready
to press forward with their program
calling for the federation to go on
record as opposed to the soviet; The
radical forces, however, pressed their
fight in oratory after having spent
the night trying to line up delegates
for declaration putting the fedora
tion as favoring recognition of Rus
sia by the United States.
disposition OF lne russian question
cleared the way for other business,
which had accumulated in such pro-
portions that a night session was a
possibility. Convention leaders, how
ever, hoped to escape long arguments
so that a cleanup might permit sine
die adjournment at the end of the
afternoon session.
The approach of the end of the con-
vention cast its shadow ahead of it.
Empty seats here and there indicated
that many of the 40 delegates who
came here from all parts of the coun-
try almost three weeks ago had al
ready departed for home. Theirsdesire
to leave manifested itself by the cleo
ton being moved up to Yesterday
Under the federation's constitution,
the election must be held the last day
of the convention, and to run around
this requirement. the convention took
a recess last night rather than an ad-
journment.

TRY TO FIX BLAME
IN WILSON MURDER
Bitterness Marks Hunt for
Scapegoat, Leading To-
ward Head of Police.
By the Associated Press.


LONDON, June 24.-The probable
effect Of the assassination of Field
Marshal Wilson on the political situ-
alton attracts attention this morning
and all the newspapers speculate as
to the position of the British govern
ment in view of the recent burst Of
anger in parliament at the with
drawal of protection from prominent
men.
The intense indignation over the
murder is mingled with widespread
feeling that it should have been pre-
vented. and consequently a scapegoat
Shortt, as responsible head of the po-
lice, has been singled out particularly
as necessary victim, and his removal
Is demanded. That he will prevent
the political pressure on the govern
ment by voluntarily resigning is
preGicated in some quarters
Mondays session of the house Of
commons may see the detection of a
large number OF the coalition union
lists who have hitherto supported the
governments Irish policy, but who
are now more than inclined to attach
themselves to the "die-hards."
Excuse for Attitude.
These conservative wavererS are
represented as taking the attitude
that they supported the Anglo-Irish
treaty because the government as
sured them it would settle the Irish
question and peace would follow.
Peace has not followed, they say,
and the government must take the
consequences.
Nothing has occurred since the last
general election to weaken the party
allegiance so dangerously.
Whether this resentment will crys-
tallize during the week end into a
solid opposition menacing> the exist
ence of the government or whether q
calmer view will prevail by Monday
will only be seen when the commons
reconvenes. Many political writer's
declared the cabinet is seriously per-
turbed at the outlook and that the
government whips. are anXiously
reckoning the strength of the support
they may expect should the issue
come to q head.

plot of violence and outrage against
