Filibusters Win Ship Bill Skirmish in Senate
Washington December to February 14. Senator Ladd of North Dakota moved to table the subsidy dispute and the filled milk bill. The bill regulates sale of dairy products with removed cream and added vegetable oils. Ladd’s motion triggered filibuster tactics as opponents sought to delay the decision on ship subsidy. The vote 46 to 44 defeated an administration bid to end debate. seventeen Republicans opposed the admin program and three Democrats backed subsidy forces. This outcome leaves Ladd’s motion pending and signals a hard blow to subsidy supporters.
