Show Gooding Bill in Front Again Washington The Gooding long and short haul bill, defeated in the senate on March 24 last by a vote of 33 to 46, is to be brought before the senate again at the coming session, this time as an amendment to be offered by Senator Gooding to the river and harbor har-bor bill. The senate, by agreement entered into last session, ia to take up the river and harbor bill December 14 and debate is to be limited, thus shutting shut-ting off opportunity for a protracted filibuster. That agreement, coupled with the adverse lineup of the senate when the bill was voted upon separately, separate-ly, will make it difficult for Senator Gooding to secure the adoption of his amendment, though he Monday voiced confidence that the amendment will go into the bill. |
