Keces uets Another "
Setback
-'''GRAIN EXCHANGE
BILUTOFORE
Norris Assails ' Administra-
tion Forces For Sidetrack-
ing Export Aid BilU
By ARTHUR SEARS HENNINQ.
By Leased1 Wire to' The -Houston Port.
WASHINGTO July President
Harding's efforts to induce congress- to
tate a recess received another setback
t Thursday when the Senate steering com-
v mittee inclining to demand of the agri-
cultural bloc added two more important
measures to the legislative program of
the present session.
The two measures are: ' i
v iHie CapperTlncher bill to regulate
grain exchanges as amended by the sen-
ate agricultural committee.
The) Kenyon bill to give the1 farmers
representation in regulating the national
banking machinery by making the secre-
tary or agriculture a member of the fed-
eral reserve board.
The two bills the steering committee
decided .will take their place on the sen-
ate calendar for consideration in the bor-
der named immediately after the anti-'
beer bill is passed.
The committee took to action with re-
gard to the much discussed question of
giving tax revinion precedence over the
tariff bill. Members wee of the opinion
that tbjs problem had Dot yet reached
such a stage as to call for action.
Action or Exchanges Urged.
The Capper-Tineher bill has been pass-
ed by the house but it has been amend-
ed by the senate to make it somewhat
less objectionable to the grain exchanges.
The agricultural bloc has been insisting
that action be taken on this measure at
the present session.
At the conclusion of a vehement at-
tack upon the administration and its sup-
porters in the senate for sidetracking his
$100000000 farm export corporation bill.
Senator Norris of Nebraska chairman of
the agrictilturol committee collapsed as
a result of exhaustion dut trr-ueart werfk-
tess and the heat.
He finished 1'is speech of several hours'
length and walked into the republican
cloak room where he crumpled into a
heap. Several of his colleagues carried
him into a poarby committee room where
first aid was administered by Senator
Ball of Delaware a physiciaTi before he
became a senator. Later Senator Norris
was removed to. his home where it was
stated his condition was not seriotis.v
Earlier in the day tie agriculture com-
mittee under the pressure of administra-
tion influence decided to displace the
Norris bill with a substitute Said to be
less likely to invite President Harding's
veto. The vote was 10 to 2. Senator
Norris vigorously resisted the substitu-
tion of the new bill but only Senator Ladd
of North Dakota supported him.
Several Provisions .Retained.
The substitute bill is a compound" of
j parts of the Norris $0) and parts of the
i bill introduced Tuesday by Senator Kel--;
lore of Minnesota with the approval of
Secretary of Oommefqe Uoovr and tiv-
gene Mejer. dtrectoriiof The war finance
corporation.
The committee however insisted upon
inserting in the substitute draft seyeral
f provisions of the NorriH bill to which the
administration had taken violent excep-
tion. The most conspicuous of these provi-
sions was an amendment authorising the
war fiuance corporation to accept securi-
ties of foreim governments in payment
for farm products exported. Anotner
amendment would eitend export credit
direct to producers as weH as to bankers
and exporters.
The committee also adopted a provi-
sion authorising the war finance corpora-
tion to increase its bond issues from
1000.00.000 to $2000000000 to Kive
it greater credit f cilities in handling
farm products. The principal feature of
the Kellogg bill directing tli war finance
corporation to perform the functions pro-
posed in the Norris bill was retained.
