McNary-Haugen Bill Fails
for Second Time When

May Try to Get Bill
Changed Before Adjourn
ment. WASHINGTON, May 25.
(,T)The senate today sustain
ed President Coolldge's veto of
the McNary-Haugen relief bill.
This kills the measure for this
se8aion,
The vote was 50 for iiassngo of
the hill and 31 against.
This was four less than the re
quired two-thirds majority and the
veto was fkiutuiuetl.
Thus for a second time a session
of congress saw this contravened
measure thrown Into the discard
after It had been passed by both
houses. . . .
Whether there "will be any fu
ther farm legislation this session
depends upon the ability of con
gress and President Coolidge to
agree, but many leaders believe
the time is too short to compose
these differences and get a bill
through

there Is enough hero to override
Senator Edge, republican, New

out the equalization fee would be
effective.
Mc.Vary said he hau promised
President Coolidge to try and pass
the bill without the equalization
fee when Informed of tlio veto. But

The entire group of 134 repre

their whole-hearted support to the
commerce secretary. .Mr, Hoover
attended und spoke briefly, thank
ing the banqueting group for their
offerif to uslst in hla drive for the
nomination. Secretary Work also
made a speech, as did 12 of the
representatives.
Hoover munagem attach great
significance to the attendance of
111 members of the Pennsylvania

engagements prevented flvo others
from being present. The secre
tary'a hackers pointed out that
this waa the first attendance of
the Keystone state members at

the the Hoover suportera In that
body, and reasoned thnt Secretary

do with it.
Supporters of the leading He

much over the Mellon statement,
and as a result have been looking
for support from a grent block of

Mr. Mellon's preference for Mr.
