Washington, June 20.—With practi- cal unanimity the house yesterday adopted the substitute for the Beyer- idge amendment to the agricultural appropriation relating to meat inspec- tion, the objectionable feature of for- mer amendments being eliminated and the amendment perfected to meet the wishes of the president. An effort was made to extend the time of de bate, but Mr. Wadsworth, chairman of the committee on agriculture, desir- ing to get the bill into conference as soon as possible, objected to the granting of additional time, although r) NORTHWEST IS DEMOCRATS PIC Megat Fishers Try to Escape the Pen. | Results of First Butter and Cheese alty.
