Ship subsidy fate doubtful as Congress reassembles
The 67th Congress reconvenes in Washington amid post election turbulence and deaths in the House and Senate. President Harding plans a joint session address on the ship subsidy while Republicans push to push the bill by November 29, facing solid Democratic opposition and progressive resistance led by La Follette and Borah. The House will debate the bill with potential amendments, including dog embargo provisions, and the Senate contemplates the Liberian loan and the Dyer anti lynching bill, with campaign speeches likely after Newberry’s resignation and Mrs. Rebecca Latimer Felton's potential seat debate.
