CONGRESS TO FINISH
LABORS IN 3 WEEKS'
Certain to Completely Clean Cal
endar Unless Something
Unforeseen Happens
ADJUSTING REVENUE BILL
WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.
Congress will adjourn within the next
three weeks unless some development en
tlrey unforeseen blocks the administration
carters' urogram Rapid work during the
last week and f'ior.ble prospects for
smooth sallln? during the coming fortnight
jiayo dispelled the gloom among tho legis
late e pilots who hac been trjing to steer
Congress to adjournment.
This does not mean, liowcrr, that Con
giess will not hao to hustle to clean up Its
calendar. On the conliary, ocry effort will
hae to be put foith by leadeis to keep u
nuotuiu of the Senate Imnionlously at
ttork. Here ae some of the Important
measures awaiting in.nl action
, Tho S11.G3S.0UO.0OO bond bill.
The K.SOrt.OOO.OOO w.ir icvenue bill
The 7,OOO,O0O,OOO urgent deficiency bill.
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.
The Senate Appropriations Committee,
anticipating passage of the 17,000,000,000
urgent deficiency bill by the House today,
has already begun informal consideration
of the measure and will be ready to :eport
it to the Senate within sccral das.
The trading with the enemy bill h.is been
passed by both house nnd is being ad
Justed finally in conferences. Tlio.ia In
charge of the jncasuro cxpfct to complete
It this week.
The alien draft resolution has been
passed by tho Senate and Is awaiting1 con
currence of the House. No delay Is ex
pected In getting It through the House.
The Webb export bill, although urged
by the President, can bo ditched until next
fcosslon without any serious harm belnjr
done If It threatens to delay adjournment
The chief obstacle In the way of adjourn
ment In the foldlcrs and xallors' Insurance
bill. 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. Civil Service Examinations

sion announces two open competltho ex
