Senate Passes Ship Bill Over Coolidge Opposition
Washington reports the Senate, in a party line clash, passed the Jones bill to expand the American merchant marine and keep government control despite President Coolidge and administration opposition. The vote was 53 to 31 with Democrats and western Republicans in support and a patchwork of amendments defeated, including a bid to allow board majority votes for sales. The measure envisions a large government fleet program with no immediate appropriation and faces House action.
