In the House a heated debate over Cuban reciprocity centers on beet sugar interests and the sugar trust. William Alden Smith and other Republicans oppose the measure citing harm to U S farmers and Cuba, while Mondell and Ball defend or oppose based on party lines.

Anti-Conspiracy Bill Spurs Debate on Labor Disputes
Washington April 9 The House Judiciary Committee led by Chairman Ray filed its report on the Hoar Grosvenor bill aimed at anti injunction and anti conspiracy actions in labor disputes. The measure would treat multi person agreements in restraint of interstate commerce as non criminal only if not criminal when done by one person and would deny injunctive relief based solely on such contracts. It also bars force or intimidation in labor disputes and clarifies that acts punishable as crimes remain so.
