The trading with the enemy bill. The Webb export bill. lhe soldiers' and sailors' Insur-rtice bill. The alien draft resolution. Most of the measures, however, have gone through a large part of the legislative pro cedure. Only the concurrence of tho House n several minor Senate amendments stand In the way of completing the action on the big bond bill. It Is not unlikely that the measure will be sent to the White House before evening, Satisfactory progress Is reported on the efforts of tho conferees to adjust the dif ferences of tho two houses oxer the revenue bill, and a complete agreement on tho ineas ure h expected before the end of the week.

This measure has been passed by tho House. Some Senators would like to post pone action on the bill until next session, but the President insists that It must be put through at this session. A subcommit tee of the Senate Finance Committee took up the bill today, and it was predicted In somo quarters it would go through the Sen ate In surprisingly short time now that members know they can quit and go home as soon as they vote on that measure LIMIT RETAIL COAL MEN'S MARGIN TO $2, U. S. PLAN Must Get All Overhead and Hauling Expenses Out of That Sum WASHINGTON, Keptr 17. Ono of the biggest Jobs ahead of the President this week Is determination of a fair retail price on bituminous and anthracite coal. A gross margin of from J1.B0 to $2 per ton for re tall coal dealers Is understood today to be favored by Fuel Administrator Garfield. This margin Includes the retailers' overhead expenses, hauling charges and profits. The consumer who carts away his own coal probably will receive a slight reduction. The Federal Trndo Commission, closely allied with Garfield In control of the coal industry, has repeatedly held In Its anthra cite retailing Investigations that "J2 per ton Is ordinarily an ample gross margin." These Investigations have shown that many retailers earned satisfactory net profits on even smaller margins. U. S.
