Budget plan beaten by House Democrats in caucus
Washington June 25. House Democrats in caucus rejected a budget committee to control all appropriations while abolishing the commerce court. Broussard of Louisiana backed hearings on Lima bill to abolish the court, Clark denounced it as useless, and Adamson urged abolishing the court this session. Underwood led the budget plan with Speaker Clark Fitzgerald and leaders supporting it, but Tribble and Hardwick opposed, Hardwick warning of a “most gigantic trust.” A tie vote or narrow defeat left the plan blocked.
