SENATE COALITION
BEATEN ON CEMENT
AND SUGAR DUTIES
Motions to Reconsider Made
by Nye Are Voted Down,
At to SO.
HARRISON AND THOMAS
ENGAGE IN SHARP CLASH
MissisSippian Takes Floor to De-
liver TRADE Against Alleged
Vote Trading.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

The old progressive Republican
Democratic coalition took drubbing
today in the Senate again on sugar
and cement duties in the tariff bill.
The new combination of regular Repub-
licans, augmented by Democrats and
progressive Republicans who earlier
stood fast with the coalition, rode rough
shod over the coalitionists. The new
machine rolled along relentleSsly.
Action came on motions to reconsider
the votes by which sugar and cement
duties in the tariff bill were adopted
last week. Both motions were made by
Senator Nye of North Dakota, a Repub-
ican progressive.
The first vote came on sugar. The
motion to reconsider was defeated by
AZ to SO. The coalition was beaten on
cement by a vote of AZ to 38. While
the totals were the same, the roll calls
were not identical, several shifts of
Senators from one side to the other
being recorded.
Roll Call on Sugar.
The sugar roll call follows:
For reconsideration:
epublicans-Allen, Blaine, Borah,
Brookhart, Capper, Cutting, Frazier, La
Toilette. McMaster' Norbeck, Norris, Nye
and Robinson of Indiana-13.
Democrats-Barkley, Black, Bratton,
Brock, Caraway, Connally, George,
Glass, Harris, Harrison, Halves Helm,
Mcclellan, Overman, Pittman, Sheppard,
Simmons, Steck, Stephens, Swanson,
Tyiings, Wagner, Walsh of Massa-
chusetts, Walsh Of Montana and
Wheeler-25.
Total, 38.
Against reconsideration:
Observation-Disclosures, BrouSsard, Cope
land, Dill, Fletcher, Hayden, RansdeL,
Thomas of Oklahoma and Trammell-9.
Republicans-Baird, Bingham, CouZ-
ems, Dale, Fess, Glenn, Golf, Colds
borough, Gould, Greene, Grundy, Hale,
Hastings, Hatfield, Hebert, Howell,
Johnson, Jones, Kean, Reyes, McCul-
loch, McNary, Metcalf, Moses, Oddie,
Patterson, Phipps, Pine, schall, Short
ridge, Smoot, Steiwer, Sullivan, Thomas
Of Idaho, Townsend, Vandenberg, Wal
colt and Waterman-38.
Total, AZ.
Lumber and Oil Action Urged.
When the vote on cement had been
announced Senator Harrison of Missis-
sippi, Democrat, Immediately rose and
demanded that amendments taking
lumber and oil of the free list and
placing duties on them be presented for
consideration. Charges have been
made by coalitionists, of whom Senator
Harrison is one, that the defeat of the
coalition has been brought about by
deal to pool senatorial votes on sugar,
cement, lumber and oil.
