PICKARD Senator Blaine RADICALS In toe senate cave od bone of defeating the com promise on drought relief appropriations appropria-tions whlcli was outlined a week ago, for Robinson of Arkansas. Dem ocratlc leader, and many others prominent prom-inent In his party, Indorsed It as the best that could be obtained. Both Itoblnson and Caraway, who had been so critical of the administration's administra-tion's policy, changed their stand, defended President Hoover, ex pressed their confidence In Secre tary of Agriculture Hyde and ad mitted that the work of the Red Cross In the drought area had Im proved until It was now adequate to the situation. Robinson said he was not trying to save his face, but honestly believed that the compro mise agreement would do what was necessary. Secretary Hyde was asked to tell the senate whether In h's opinion opin-ion money obtained by farmers under un-der the compromise plan could be used to buy food. Ills reply wps yes. La Toilette and Rlatne of Wisconsin, Wis-consin, Nnrrls of Nebraska and other Insurgents continued to denounce de-nounce the compromise as humiliating, humil-iating, wicked, shameful and altogether alto-gether wrong. Young Bob denounced de-nounced the Democrats for co-operating with the administration, and asserted that "If we accept this surrender it means that we do nothing for the 22.000.WX) affected by unemployment." While he was speaking a committee com-mittee of fifteen that was said to represent the workers' unemployment unemploy-ment Insurance delegation tried to get Into the house of representatives representa-tives with a big petition, demanding demand-ing that Speaker Longworth recess the house for twenty minutes so they might appear on the floor and stute their case. The speaker refused re-fused this request and would not receive the committee In his office, so the petition was left with his secretury and the Importunate visitors vis-itors were gently pushed out of the Capitol by a bunch of policemen. ine unemployed workers were said to be led by Communist!), and the Washington police were out In force to prevent a Red Invasion. This aroused the wrath of Senntor Blaine, who declared that "the menace exists only In the minds of those who are protecting the very system that may some day creute a real menace of this sort." In Minneapolis, Boston, New York, Sacramento and other cities 'there were Communist demonstrations demonstra-tions In behnlf of relief for the un employed.

The measure carried the final $100,' 000.000 of the board's authorized S500.000.000 revolving loan fund. The senators, desiring to avoid blame if the board falls to accom pllsh results, rejected an amend ment offered by Senator Black of Alabama which would have for bidden the use of any of the hun dred millions for trading In futures on grain or cotton exchanges. Southern senators were particu larly exercised over the use of furra board funds by cotton co operatives In trading In futures. By permitting Its funds to be used in this way It was asserted that the board is encouraging speculation. The Wisconsin senate adopted three resolutions asking congress to relieve the country from prohibition. prohi-bition. One urges national prohibition pro-hibition referendum, the second asks modification of the Volstead act to permit the manufacture of light wines and beer, and the third calls for Immediate repeal or moa Ilicutlon of the Eighteenth amend ment.
