TWO BILLS FAIL OF PASSAGE
DURING LAST HOURS.
President Taft Vetoes Sundry Civil
Expenses Measure, and Senator Fall
Talks Indian Measure Out.
Washington.— Two of the annual
appropriations necessary to the main-
tenance of the federal government
tailed of passage Tuesday when the
Sixty second congress wound up its
ai fairs.
Senator Fall of New Mexico, hold-
ing the floor through the closing hours
oi the c sinn, talked the Indian ap
proprialion bill to death, with Its $12.
niiD.uiii) for the support ol the Indian
service, while President Taft wrote
bis vato on the +11'.,ouu,00U bill to
take care ui "sundry civil expenses'
of til -an eminent.
The house ivpa: -ed the sundry civil
bill over the veto, but wh n it reached
the -enate. Senator Pumlexter ob-
jected to any appropriation for the
Washington police force unless an in-
vestigation had been made for the
riotous scenes attending the suftrage
parade Monday, and the senate did
not get to a vote on the bill.
Mr Taft vetoed the sundry civil bill
because of its provisions exempting
labor unions and farmers' organi/.a-
tions from prosecution under the anti-
trust law. Most of the appropriation
would not take effect until January I,
however, and the new congress will
be able to prepare appropriation meas-
ures by that time.
Ti.e provision to which Mr Taft ob-
jected provided that no funds could
be expended in prosecution of organ-
izations or individuals "for entering
into any combination or agreement
having in view the increasing of
wage.-, shortening of hours or better-
ing the conditions of labor," or for the
prosecution of the "producers of farm
products and a - ociatlons of farmers
tain and maintain a fair and reason-
able price for their products."
'Mils, he declared, was "( lass legis-
lation of the most vicious sort,'' and
that it would undoubtedly be held un-
constitutional by the courts. Refer-
ring to the farmers' clause, Mr. Taft
said:
"At a time when there Is wide-
spread complaint of the high cost of
living, it i ertainly would b • an
anomaly to put on the statute books
of the I'nited States a law in effect
preventing the prosecution of combi-
nations of producers of tarm products
foi the purpose of artiflcally control-
ling prices."
