Washington. — The, administration shipping bill was taken up recently by the senate and .was subjected immedi ately to a baptism of fire by Democrat ic members. Chairman Jones of the commerce committee, which reported the bill after making several changes in the house draft, called up the measure. His often- ing statement in behalf of the legisla tion, however, went over, because of the time consumed by the Democrats in several attacks on the measure and by the reading of the bill, and both ma jority and minority reports in com pliance with t'a demand by Senator Fletcher of Florida, ranking Demo cratic member of the commerce com mittee. The Democrats started their attack as soon as Chairman Jones made his first move in the legislative struggle which is expected to occupy the senate for some time. Senator Jones pro posed first that the senate proceed to immediate consideration of tho ship bill, but objection from the Democratic side blocked this move until after the |' regular calendar had been disposed of. The commerce committee next sugest ed that the senate meet an hour ear lier, but withdrew the proposal in the fact of objections that this would in terfere with committee, activities. Republican supporters of the hill rather expected an attempt by the Democrats to proven); the taking up df the bill, but the motion was carried without a dissent on a viva voce vote. The next move by Senator Jones—a proposal that the senate on quitting work recess instead of adjourn, in order to expedite consideration of the bill—was used by the Democrats as a vehicle of attack on the administra tion policy with respect to the measure on the legislation Itself. The pro posal later was ruled out of order on a point raised by Senator Harrison, Democrat, of Mississippi. Senator Robinson of Arkansas led the attack with a criticism of the ad ministration’s course in postponing house action until after the elections on what ho described as “concededly unpopular legislation” and then in bringing pressure to bear to hasten en actment of the legislation “before the members of congress have had a chance to reflect on: the expression of the people at the polls in Novem ber." oaaaaelaoadnoaQiSQQanaaaaoeooaMiaaoaoiiQaoeiaQaaeiaasioaaa PEACH TREE FERTILIZERS. 6-3-3: 7-4-7, 8-3-10, 8-4-4, | Are grades that can be used with I good results, under varying con- l ditions.
