A $205. 900 Senate tax reduction
bill was bound for the congressional
adjustment room today, there to meet
Its $290,000,000 House partner for
reconciliation Of differences
The Senate passed its measure late
last night after several attempts to at
tach tariff and farm riders were over
whelmingly defeated. with the Demo-
Gratis aiding the Republicans in refus-
ing saddles 10 these proposals.
These two groups parted company,
however. In a stirring last minute bat
tie. which the Republicans won, thus
keeping their program within range OF
the 5000, 100000 reduction limitation
set by President Coolidge and Secretary
Mellon.
In this drive the Democrats were de.
feated after two roll calls, the last re"
sulting In tie vote. which was broken
by Vice President Dawes, on the one
plank OF their $325.000.0 900 program

Lop on $24,o00.o00.
Elimination OF this provision Topped
of $24 900 900 In the total reduction
provided by the measure, which was
then approved without record vote.
On the first vote on this provision the
Democrats won, 81 to 80. But Senator
Blease, Democrat, South Carolina, ask
ed reconsideration after his attention
had been called that he was paired
with Senator Frazier, Republican,
North Dakota. who had not voted.
On the second vote the tie resulted,
although the Democrats seemed TO nave
won again when Senator Blaine. Repub-
lican. Wisconsin, voted with them after
voting with the Republicans the first
time He changed his vote, however.
saving he had misunderstood the ques-
ton, This left the tie. 33 TO SO, and
Vice President Dawes cast his first vote
since taking ONCE, while the Senate
Senator McMaster. Republican, South
Dakota, was the only member leaving
his party ranks on the vote, lining up
with the Democrats.
II probably will be several days be-
fore an agreement Is reached between
the Senate and House conferees, but
leaders are confident the measure can
proval by both the Senate and House
and sent to the President by the end
OF the week. Adjournment of Congress
by Saturday or early next week Is now
planned.

SEVERE REACTION
ON STOCK MARKET
Long List of Shares Break 5
to Nearly 80 Points Under
Bear Attacks.
BIZ the Assoclated Press .

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 22.-The stock
market underwent another sharp resc-
tion today on selling inspired by the
recent restriction of credit facilities.
Withdrawal OF pool support for some
of the high-priced industrials and spe-
cialties was followed by severe declines
of to nearly 20 points, while long
list of seasoned dividend-paying rails
and industrials sagged to points
under the weight of heavy liquidation
for both accounts.
Retention OF the s per cent rate for
call money, accompanied by the call
ing of about $10.000,000 In loans and
q stiffening of prime commercial paper
rates, had decidedly dampening eff
feet on bullish enthusiasm.
Traction Issues slump.
The violent decline in the New York
traction issues. based on the decision
Of the United States Supreme Court
granting the city stay until october
2 in the z cent fare case, also caused
general unsettlement.
There was little In the days business
news to influence the price movement.
Such earning reports as came to hand
were mixed In character, and threw
little light on the current trend of
business. Stiffening of margin require
ments by some OF the large commission
houses tended TO stimulate the liquida-
tion OF weakened marginal holdings.
Plane Stocks Bare Brunt.
Airpiane stocks again bore the brunt
OF the selling pressure. Wright broke
1914 points TO 1877 and Curtiss fell 0
to ti9. Dupont, United States Cast
Iron Pipe, Nierboro Rapid Transit,
