democrats in SENATE START A FILIBUSTER Southern Democrats And Progressive Element Attack Anti-Lynch Bill MAY BE WITHDRAWN Opponents of Bill Announce They Will “Talk The Bill To Death” Washington, Nov, 28.—The democratic filbuster in the senate against the administration program swung into full stride this afternoon under the leadership of Senators Underwood, Alabama, and Harrison, Mississippi. Attempts by republican leaders to rush through the Dyer antilynching bill were met by a barrage of points of order, oratory and other filibuster tactics. The democrats had the support of insurgent republicans. The filibusterers hoped to definitely delay any action on the measure at this session of congress. By Paul It. Mallon United I'reMM stuff <'orrt»M|M»nde»nl Washington. Nov. 28.—(Special tn Daily Democrat) —The promised Anti administration filibuster in the senate is on. Southern Democrats, uniting with the strong progressive element of the upper chamber, rallied today for the first attack on the Dyer anti-lym hint lull when it was thrust before the up per house of congress by Republican leaders. Practically the same group which has announced its opposition to the ship subsidy is banded together to "talk the Dyer bill to death." And their threats have borne such great warning that it is indicated that Republican chieftains may withdraw the measure within a few days and make no effort to press it to final passageat this time. Senators Shields and McKellar oi Tennessee are leading the insurgents group. They have backers who say they are prepared to talk for several years if necessary. A mass of data has been gathered and the "history of the negro raee"onough to fill volumes as thick as die ticnaries- will be told and retold to the senate if the bill is not speedily withdrawn. The activity of masked raiders in certain sections of the country too. will enter discussion on the measure Policies and actions of the Ku Klux Klan may be brought to the front by adherents of the measure whc. will stress its need in localities where lo cal officials are not fully able to meet the situation. If the ship subsidy dis places the Dyor bill after the opening - of/the new session of congress on De I comber , the filibuster may not be in [ terrupted, it is hinted. There some in the senate who believe they | could best serve their conslitunts by| forcing any action on the ship sub "idy over until the new congress enters office some time after Farch 4. The ship bill could be defeated easily\ in that congress, these senators hold. SENATE—Consideration of Dyer ’ anti-lynching bill. ( HOUSE—Considers further amend ments to ship subsidy bill.

Another Blow At Ship Subsidy Bill Today Washington, Nov. 28 - Another blow was struck at the Harding Lasker ship subsidy bill today when the | house adopted viva voca an amend | nient knocking out the "permanent I appropriation" feature and stipulating that no subsidy money shall be paid out except as it is appropriated I;tach year. Republican leaders backed down before the onslaught of democrats and western republican irregulars. Chairman Madden, 111., of the ap propriation committee offered the amendment. Republican Floor Leader Mohdell promptly endorsed it. An amendment by .Representative Freer, Wisconsin, providing that no part of the $125,000,00(1 construction fund could be paid uidil the excess profit tax had been reenacted was smothered by so many "noes” that Freer did not Hi ink it worth while to insist upon a record vote.
