Republican sponsors of the bill could hardly agree. Senator Borah called for uncon- jditional capitulation to the group of independent Western Republi- cans and its firm intention of re- writing a measure “in accordance with the purpose for which the spe- jclal session was called,” regardless of time it takes. He sald the in- dependents determine to stick dog- gedly to their task of producing a bill they consider fair to the agri- cultural industry. CAPTAIN AMIS FOR CHILKOOT BARRACKS ‘Capt. L. W.
