Senate defeats Bailey free list amendment to recipro city bill
Washington senator Bailey's free list amendment to the Canadian reciprocity bill was defeated in the United States senate by a large majority. The margin was so large that Senator Riley did not ask for a roll call. A congressional committee in Washington is investigating an alleged grab of waterfront lands at Controller Bay Alaska by Morgan Guggenheim Interests. The public domain lands near Controller Bay are viewed as key to a transport and Alaska coal field control. A Minnesota representative introduced a resolution for a nine member house committee to probe possible restraint of trade by U S financiers. The first senate tariff vote favored the president as Cummins amendment to meat free list failed, 14 to 32. The president’s alleged inducement by Ballinger and Richard S. Ryan to restore lands around Controller Bay will be investigated by the House expenditures committee.
