After a short, but torrid open hear ing, replete with personal disputes and acrimonious utterances, followed by^an executive session of an houi, also filled with distention, the house eommlttoe on merchant marine an! fisheries Thursday tip a vote of 10 to 7 voted to report favorable to the house the administration bill on ship subsidy aa Introduced by Reprsenta- tlve Humphrey.

Representative Hob son, reported to be for the bill, and Maynard of Virginia, against It, both Democrats, were absent. The Democratic members of the committee were greatly wrought up over what they characterised the “roallroadlng" of the meaaure with out consideration or opportunity to amend it and they held** meeting In the room of Representative Champ Clark, the minority leader, to map out the future party course against the bill. It is expected that the measure will meet with the most stubborn opposition When It reaches the house and that one of the hard est fights of the session will Lhea be precipitated. Representative Splght, ranking Democratic member of the eommlt- tee, will file a minority report against the bill. Mr. Splgbt declared with vigor that Representative Humphrey and hia Republican associates, In rushing the ship subsidy bill through the committee, had ^broken faith and had taken unwarranted action. Mr. Splght said Chairman Gr*en of the committee had assured him on Wednesday that no vote would be taken at the meeting Thursday and that the minority and those opposed to ship subsidy would bo given am ple opportunity to be prepared for a final vote when taken. Mr. Green Informed Mr. Splght after the meet ing that he did not make any promis es for Mr. Humphrey and oould not prevent the latter bringing his bill to s vote. Mr. Humphrey declared that am pie consideration had been given to the bill and If It were delayed long er that a meaaure to take Its place would be reported In the Senate. In reply to this the Democrats stat ed that the bill had been given no consideration whatever by anybody and that it had not even been read in committee.

In the face of direct promises they have ‘railroaded’ this bill through.
