FAIL TO TAKE
FINAL VOTEON
RELIEF BILL
Patronage Hungry Mem
bers Vote to "EarMark"
sos Millions
DECENTRALIZATION
FOR RELIEF KILLED

WASHINGTON, May %. (UP).
Democratic leaders hastily add
jOurned the house without final
vote on the Sl.5OO,OOO,00O work
relief bill Hast night after a
stormy session in which rcbclh-
Gus, patronage-hungry members
voted to ear mark" sos, 0OO, 600
of the fund for pork or vote
getting projects.
The measure, which is designed
to provide jobs for 100000 Idle
during the 1898 fiscal year, will
be brought up again on Thursday
when a final vote is expected.
Meantime, administration forces
will seek to recruit sufficient
strength TO reverse on roll call
votes the singing defeats suffer-
ed yesterday.
The pork barrel uprising
second in fcrocity only to the one
i'm which President ROoScvclt,S
civilian conservation corps bill
was sacrificed on the altar OF
patronage-ragcd throughout the
entire day. 1t demonstrated grow
ing opposition in congress to the
continuation of blank cheque'
authority which gives Mr.. RooSe-
welt power to spend relief funds
as he deems fit To aid the DIS
tTcSSed
At the close of the day these
major changes had been made IN
the relief measure:
I. $50. 100000 TO be set aside
for flood control and water con-
Scrvation work.
=. $500, 100000 To be Gear
marked" for PWA projects.
3. $l5O.0OO,0O0 to be spent on
highway and grade crossing clint
nation projects. .. .
4. Authority to- use work-rclici
money for construction OF power
lines into rural sections for non
profit and cooperative utility
groups. IT,,
;. Unskilled and agricultural
workers who refuse private Jobs
will be ineligible for work relief
as long as the private job is avail
able.
The bill. after house action
poes to the senate where there al
ready is underway a strong cam
paign not only TO "earmark
large slices of the proposed appro-
nriation but also to reduce the
Grant S5OO,000,O0O or more IN
the interest of economy. The
house rejected all amendments
designed to reduce or increase the
appropriation, in a turbulent SeS-
sion last Friday. -,
House leaders yesterday had
expected the attempt by revolving
Democrats TO "earmark" the huge
relief fund and a drive by Re-
nublicans to transfer adminiStra-
ton of relief back to the states.
Their prediction that the twin
edged struggle would fail was
based on the performance of Fri
dav in which the prepOnnderant
Democratic majority turned back
every assault on the bill.
They were cheered as the SeS-
sion opened yesterday when mem
hers voted l72 to 20 against the
Republican amendment to decen-
traiize relief administration. Then
Representative Joe Starnes, d.,
Ala proposed that $45,0OO,OOO of
the appropriation be set aside for
flood control work. This amount
was in addition to budget stimateS
of appropriations of $22,5OO, 900
for flood work on the lower Mis-
sissippi river and $3O,OOO,OOO and
onotber S3O,O0O,OOO in an omni-
bus flood control measure.
