PRICE TEN CENTS
FILIBUSTER IS
MUSCLE SHOALS AGAIN; NOT
SLIGHTEST SIGN OF COMPRO
MISE OR SURRENDER
WASHINGTON, May 25. (£>)—
Breaking the filibuster which lasted
for more than 24 hours and exhaust
ing those who carried it on, the Sen
ate adopted the conference report on
the Muscle Shoals Government Opera
tion Bill.
The collapse of the filibuster came
^ after Senator McKellar of Tennesee,
fighting against the project in the
Bill for a dam at Cove Creek in his
State, became exhausted in physical
endurance. After speaking hours he
told his colleagues he could go no
further when turned down on two'
.
points in the order he made against
the Bill but added he was certain
Coolidge would veto it.
McKellar, Tydings, Blease and King
bore the brunt of the speech making
which ran thru the night and morning
but the proponents measure, as it
stands led by Norris, stood the ground
firmly and never .throughout the long
hours was there the slightest sign of
surrender or compromise.
