MAY Be NO SPECIAL SESSION
President Roosevelt Has Not Decid-
ed the Question Definitely.
Strong Pressure is Being
to Bea to Induce the PresI-
dent to Cut it Out.

Oyster Bay, n. Y, Aug. 14.-Not-
H~1ihstanding the more or less definite
announcement which has cmal%Ied
from various sources during the iast
few Laonths, congress may Lot be
called into extraordinary session next
November. Indeed, the indications are
now that no extraordinary session Will
10 held this year.
This statement is made on the au-
thority of President Roosevelt himself.
He las not decided the question def
nitely yet, and probably will not reach
a decision of it until he shall have re-
turned to Washington the latter part
of September. The chances of an ex-
trlordlrary session appear, however, to
be fading.
Strong pressure is being brought to
bear upon the president to induce him
not to call an extra session. So much
interest has been manifested in the sub
ject throughout the country that the
president has received a large number
of letters regarding it. Many senator's
and representatives have urged against
an extra session. They point out that
practically nothing will be gained by
an extra session that will begin not
more than three weeks before the open
ing OF the regular long session, and
that it will cause some inconvenience
to many members of congress in both
branches. Taking these things into con-
sideration, the president has reserved a
definite decision of the matter.

port orders booked for six months. the
shoe and leather trades are doing an
increasing business at steadily advanc-

begin to satisfy requirements for
prompt shipment, finished iron { al
