With noth ing te keep them in Washington ex cept the tariff, Congress is figuring new upon taking n recess early In Sep tetnbpr nnd teturning In November, either just before olrctlen te pnss the Tariff Hill or Just nfter election, if by some mlrnclp thp oenfeteiice committee of the two houses enn make n hur ried report upon the tariff. The desire te get home is tremen dous. Congress linn been In vlrtunlly continuous session since Mr. Harding took office. The cnmpnlgti is nbeut te begin, nnd nil of the Heuse members Hiic u considerable number of Scnnters feel nn imperative need te get back into their Stnte.s nnd districts te at tend te the business of being re-elected. There Is no walkover this jenr. Issues hne net yet taken shape nnd every one is doubtful nbeut the state of mind of thp voters. With the withdrawal by President Harding of his demand that th" Ship Subsidy bill be ncted upon beferee elec tion, no controversial legislation cept the bonus remains before Cengiess. Nothing Is te be done except pass the Benus Bill nnd the Tariff Bill nnd go henip. The Benus Bill will go through quickly, Everybody has made up mind pither te ete for it or against it. Ne important question of details remains te be spttlpd. A half dozen opponents of the bonus must be heard nnd then the Senate will be ready for n vote. A decision upon it can be reached in n few days. Benus Vete Only Formality The Senate Is only interested in going en record with regard te the bonus. The Senators who nre up for re-election merely wish te tell their con stituents they Mtted for added tompen tempen tompen satlen te the seldlrrs. President Harding Is expected te veto the bill, and enough vte te prevent the passage of It evrr his veto can be counted. Se the bonus Is only a fermnllty. The industrial sltuntien Is n mere serious ebstnele te an early l cress. While the anthracite nnd the railroad strikes remain unsettled It Is hard for Congress te get nwny. If the Ad ministration takes nctlen It intends te make Congress share the responsibility, 'i'he talk In the Senate yesteiday nbeut sei7lng the reads nnd mines wns made for home consumption. Men who are up for re-ek'(tlen want their con stituents te knew hew valiantly they steed for the public Interest. More Mere More eer. it was desired thnt the railroad executives nnd the nnthrncltp operators should undei stand that Congress was growing restive und might insist upon drnstlc nctlen by the Government. Tills might make them nmenable te rensen In the negotiations thnt are going en te end the strikes. Congress desires te see the industrial situation cleared up ns seen ns pos slble.
