ByrnS in Group.
The conferees to whom President
Roosevelt expressed his attitude in
cluded Speaker Byrns, Chairman
O'Connor of the Rules Committee, and
Chairman Doughton Of the Ways and
Means Committee Although at least
one of these conferees-O'Conno
was reluctant to accept the Borah>
amendment, it was intimated the
President feared the measure would
not be enacted in time to keep N. r.
A. from dying unless the House ac-
cepted the Senate change.
The present N R. A. expires Sunday
night unless the legislation is enacted
before that time.
The House members were obviously
irritated by their instructions to adopt
the Senate resolution without change.
The Senate" said one man who
went 10 the White House. could
have broken up that Long filibuster
at any time. But they're afraid Of
Huey Long over there, and some fool
has sold the President on the idea
that he must accept everything the
Senate does.
Uprising Is Predicted.
That doesn't sit we'll with me, and
if things continue to go on this way
there's going to be the damndest
uprising in the House you ever saw"
Before going to the White House,
O'Connor had told newspaper men:
I'VE had a positive understanding at
the White House with Pat Harrison
and Joe Robinson on what would be
in that resolution. They appear to
have backed out on that argument, as
they have backed out on every agree
ment we have had with them.
ITO hell with them. II their
amendment is what understand it to
be, the Gouse wouldn't stand for it
and I shall fight it.
In other words, II they put in
ban against suspension of antitrust
laws, it means the N. r. A. is dead"
Doughton deferred comment until
he studied the resolution.
Speech Ends at AM.
In the Senate Longs speech
Iudklllk. SUI diAA
giving ended finally at am, having
lasted since shortly after noon yester-
day.
The Louisianan was succeeded by
Senator Schall. Republican, Of Mime
sofa, but the blind Senator confined
himself to a written speech. which wss
read by the clerk. This took about an
hour
Then Senator McCarran. Democrat.
of Nevada, who had been aiding Long
throughout the night with questions
and in negotiations with leaders, took
the floor, but did not talk long.
When he finished there was no one
else to talk and the Senate rushed
rapidly to the final vote.
Long continued 10 sit in the cham
Der chatting with Senators while
Schsll and McCsrran had the floor.
He was shouting for the floor when
the resolution finally was gorsd on,

ing.
Gore Amendment Rejected.
Minutes before, the Senate had re-
lected the Gore Em6D0menG JO re-
quire Senate confirmation of all pres
idential appointees to positions pay
ing over $4,000 a year. That pro-
posal was the vehicle for Longs fruit
less fllibuster.
A quick parliamentary maneuver
oy Senator Clark, Democrat, oi Mis-
souri, had won The vote to recon-
slider the Gore anenoment. While
temporarily in me Speakers chair
Clark asked for the vote to reconsider
and then, when Vice President Gar
ne- returned to the chair. CLARK said
from the floor the motion had car
ried. Despite heated protests from
Long. Garner ruled with Clark.
