StnfT rorrfsipenitfnt rrrnlnit rubtlc I.eJiSfr
Cerurieht, 103, hy VubHc J.eJatr Company
Washlnjcten. Aug. 2.". 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. It does net like the idea of this
Issue going ever into the campaign.
