Passed despite veto filibuster still in force
The House, despite a Democratic filibuster led by Minority Leader John Sharp Williams, approved measures amid a busy session. A dam extension on Rainey River Minnesota was passed over the President’s veto, while a homesteads conference report faced heated debate and was defeated.
