SATIS ACIn-O uONwY BACK SENATEPASSES NEW SHIPPING BILL WILSON ADMINISTRATION SUC CEEDS AFTER HARD LEGISLA TIVE STRUGGLE. SENATE VOTE WAS 38 TO 21 Several Important Amendments Are Agreed to.-Bill Has Already Passed House and Will Very Likely Find no Opposition in House to Amendments. Washington.-The government ship ping bill passed the Senate by a vote of 38 to 21, ending one of the most bitterly contested legislative strug gles of the Wilson administration. In the last Congress the measure precipi tated a Democratic revolt and a fili buster which forced postponement of many important bills, but revised so as to minimize the government opera tion feature, received unanimous Dem ocratic support and solid Republican opposition. It already had passed the House. The shipping bill provides for cre ation of a government shipping board to acquire and operate ships for re habilitation of the American merchant marine and appropriates $50,000,000 for the purpose to be raised by the sale of Panama Canal bonds. Several important amendments were agreed to just before the final - vote, among them one which would reduce the salary of the shipping board members from $10,000 to $7,500 a year. Other amendments passed in- i clude one which would authorize the president to seek adjustment of foreign discrimination against American ship ping through diplomatic negotiations ( and to take retaliatory action if such ups negotiations fail. Another would drc authorize the treasury to withhold thz clearance from masters of vessels who tha deliberately refuse to accept freight 015 from American citizens without satis- boc factory reasons. toll tho ALLIES GAIN ON GERMAN ed, CENTER IN SOMME FRONT. rev Another Step Made in Anglo-French o Advance Toward Cormbles.
