Democrats Plan to Save Ship Measure in Senate Fight
Washington February 6 Administration senators said it would be impossible to recommit the ship purchase bill with amendments. They planned to press Senator Gore’s motion to discharge the commerce committee for a substitute bill favored by progressive Republicans. Senators Nor Kenyon La Follette Newlands were expected to back the move, with President Wilson not expecting an extra session. Legislative riders on appropriation bills would be removed to speed passage within a week or ten days if the ship bill is settled.
