FIGHT ON RAIL BOARD
LIKELY TO BE HALTED
House Proponents Doubtful if Ac.
ton Can Be Obtained at
This Session.

Defeated in q ten-hour fight for
a vote on the Barkley bill to abolish
the Railroad Labor Board, leaders
of the Democratic Republican insur-
gent coalition in the House were in
doubt today whether they could get
q decision on the measure at this
session of Congress.
The bill, taken out OF the hands of
the commerce committee May 5.
kept from a vote last night by the
determined opposition of the organi-
cation Republicans, with the aid Of
Representative Blanton, Democrat,
Texas, who repeatedly demanded roll
calls to summon a quorum. When
adjournment was taken after 10
O'Clock, it was left in position
where under the rules it may not be
called up again until June z.
Will Fight Vote.
Representative Barkley, Democrat,
Kentucky, author of the bill, indl-
Gated toward the end of last nights
session that he would renew his ef-
fort to get action in two weeks, but
opponents said afterward that they
were prepared to offer a flood Of
amendments to stave of a vote. If
action Is prevented, Mr.. Barkley as
serted privately, the fight for enact
ment of the bill, which would set up
q new system for settlement of rail-
road disputes. will be renewed in De-
cember
The organization Republicans held
majority only once during the
long fight yesterday, managing
through parliamentary maneuvers to
block action on the bill. Their ma
jority came on their first move-to
eliminate the enactment clause
but this action was reversed four
hours later on one of the many roll
calls.
