Washington, Feb. IB.—The McCall
bill carrying Into effect the Canadian
reciprocity agreement reached the
floor of the House and probably will
bo passed 'by that body before fid-
Journment Tuesday night. Even the
opponents of the measure admitted
today thsre was no hope of stopping
U in the House.
A test vote came soon after the
House was called to order by Speaker
Cannon. Mr. McCall moved the im-
mediate consideration of 'his bill. This
was objected to ostounlbly on the
ground that it was District of Colum-
bia Day on the calendar and Impor-
tant matt ens of legislation affecting
the District were pending.
When the voting began, however,
It soon became apparent that, with
comparatively few exceptions, the
lines were being tightly drawn be-
tween those favoring and thoso op-
posing the trade agreement. As'llu*
ully corrected, the vote to take up t.ho
bill was 197 to 120. The bill will
bo passed, it Is said, by even a larger
majority. Today 101 Republicans
voted against immediato considers
tlon. This number will show a do-
clded diminution on the final roll call
Sixty-three Republicans voted for Im-
mediate consideration.
