In the House vigorous attempts were made to attach earmarking amendments to provide pork for the constituencies of various Congressmen (TIME, June 7 et seg.), but in the Senate the revolt against the bill was of an entirely different character. The fight in the Senate was started when dapper Senator James F.

The only reason these corporate debts have been honored in full is that spunky U. S. bondholders methodically set out to attach the debtors' property in the U.
