Tolls Bill Coming Up.

New York Times 100 years ago today, April 10, 1913:
Committee to Vote on Barring Canal Privileges to Our Ships.
    WASHINGTON, April 9.— Senator Root's amendment to the Panama Canal act, which would remove the exemption of American ships from toll payment, will be brought up before the Inter-oceanic Canals Committee again in the present session. Senator O'Gorman, Chairman of the committee, said to-day that he expected to call a meeting next week.
    The Root amendment may not be taken up at once, but will be disposed of probably before the Tariff bill comes from the House. Senator O'Gorman said he was just as much opposed to the bill as he ever had been, and expressed the belief that it would fail to be reported to the Senate by a vote close to that by which it was defeated at the last session, 10 to 3.
