RECIPROCITY BILL IS
TO GO UNCHANGED
Passage of Measure Withcu
Amendment is Indicated by
Senate's Vote.
Washington. The dt-foat In tfce
Senate of one of the Senator Cum
mins amendments to the Canadian
reciprocity bill, made it clear that
the measure is scheduled to emerge
from the Senate without any change
from its original form.
Br a rote or 32 to 34 the Senata
refused to attach to the bills Sena
tor Cummins" proposal to (five Cana
dian fresh meats and meat products
tree access to the American markets.
The vote defeating the amendment
showed three lVniocrat, three regu
lar Republicans, and eight projtres-
ires lined up for a change in the
agreement. This is believed to re
fect accurately the strength of all
proposed amendments. Nearly all
the Democrats and regular Republi
can are opposed to a change in the
bill, while the progressives favor the
amendments.
Those voting for the amendments
were Bailey, Simmons and Thornton,
Democrats; Sutherland, Nelson and
Clark, regular Republicans; Bourne,
Borah, Bristow, Ciapp, Cummins, Dix
on, Gronna and Kenyon, progressives.
Measures Are Held Up.
Several measure put forward as
the Democratic program in th House
are held up in the Senate, and no
one can tell when they can pass. The
bill for Arizona and New Mexico, the
campaign publicity bill, the reappor
tionment hill and several of less im
portance are now behind the tariff
blockade in the Senate. As there
will be considerable debate on eaeh
of these measures no one can toll
when they will get to a vote.
