pacity of such vessels TO resist the
strain of heavy sea, have come to a
temporary standstill. While the de.

President Is Insistent on
Congress taking Some In
cisive Action.

WASHINGTON, Jan. s.-Quick action
so far as the House Is concerned is al
ready assured a result Of the Presi-
dents renewed efforts in behalf of anti
trust legislation. The leaders Of the lower
branch have determined to put through a
bill carrying the Administrations recon-
mendations almost as soon as 1t comes
from committee. This bill has al
ready been drawn. Speaker Henderson
has been summoned again to confer with
the President and probably tomorrow
will take to him assurances OF action on
the part Of the House.
If the Senate shows no sign Of an
earnest effort to pass an antitrust bill a
special message will go to that body from
the President. If a special message does
not have the desired effect. and IL the
question is allowed to drag along without
coming to a vote, the President is at
present inclined to call an extra session,
so important does he consider the ques-
ton and so necessary does he think the
legislation.
Should there be any quibble over the
wording Of a bill the administration is In
a position to render first and quick aid
to any hesitation, for Attorney General
