ADJOURN
JULY
Unless Plans Fail End of Con
gress Is In Sight.
Many Members Anxious to Return to
Their Homes For the Warm Weath
er Conference of Senate and House
Leaders to Arrange Comprehensive
Proflram.
The senate and house leaders be
lieve that congress will adjourn on
or about July 1st, unless some dif
ficulties now unforeseen present
themselves. With a view to ex
pediting business, It 1b the purpose of
the leaders soon to hold night ses-
slons. With night sessions the advent
of hot weather and desire on the part
of members to get back with the
home folks, no doubt is expressed
that the lawmakers will be ready to
((lilt certainly by July 1, and possibly
the last week In June.
After the railroad bill has been
passed by the senate that body will
get down to the consideration of ap
propriation bills.
Up to date not a single administra
tion bill of the first importance has
been passed by the two houses of
congress. The house It Is true has
passed the railroad bill but It has
taken no action on the postal lavings
hanks bill which will however soon
be reported. It has also put through
the statehood III'..
The anti-Injunction bill will follow
the postal savings banks bill in the
house. . A conference of house and
senate leaders will be held this week
In an effort to fix up a comprehensive
program under which the various ad
ministration bills shall be hastened
to conference. As things now stand
I be administration Insists upon the
passage of only live bills, namely, tho
railroad bill; the postal savings bank
bill; the antl-lnjunctlon measures;
the withdrawal bill and the statehood
bill. The belief is general that com
promises will come out of conferences
on the railroad and postal savings
banks, and that the anti-Injunction
measure will pass substantially as it
has been reported by the bouse com
mittee on Judiciary.
