Senate Ships Subsidy Debate Appeals to Frye Front
In Washington on January 29 Senator Frye announced he would push the shipping bill to a vote despite opposition from Senator Turner who declaimed the measure as a “lawless raid” on the treasury. The Indian appropriation bill passed earlier as amendments to agency provisions faced clash, while the Senate considered limits on subsidies and foreign ships as amendments. Turner warned of ruin to the Republican party if the bill proceeds, and Frye pressed for final action after committee amendments were adopted.
