MUST STAY UNTIL
WORK IS FINISHED
Speaker Cannon, Backed by
His Lieutenants, Serves
Notice on Congress.
WANTS A PURE FOOD LAW
Both Branches of the %Lawmakins Bod,
Are in a Deadlock Over the Impor-
tant Measure Now Pending
Before Them.

washington, u. e., June S.-COn-
gress will stay in session until its work
is finished. This is the dictum of
Speaker Cannon and his lieutenants
and is being emphasized at this time to
counteract an impression that the pure
food bill at least might go over till the
next session.
There is also trouble on the meat in
spection bill and the tieup on the rail-
road rate bill indicates delay. The inn
migration bill is also in conference, as
are everal of the appropriation bills.
All of these things must be worked out
without any date of adjournment be-
ing set according to he decision OF
the house leaders. When the work IS
done an adjournment Resolution will be
Forthcoming in short order.
Meat Inspection Deadlock. "a
The meat inspection amendment to
the agricultural appropriation bill prob
ably Will. be returned to the senate and
house with a report of disagreement.
The conferees twice had it under dis
cussion and he indications are that the
difference in regard to the payment for
inspection by the packers or by the
government, or whether the date of in
spection must be placed on cans of
meat are irreconcilable. Another eff
fort to get together is to be made. A
complete agreement was reached on al
other matters in the bill.
Practically all of the important
amendments concerning the usual fea-
lures of the agricultural bill We're ac-
cepted by the house conferees. These
amendments include appropriations OF
$4,000 for the establishment at points
of export of laboratories to examine
and report on h nature, quality and
condition of seed or grain to serve as
a basis for the fixing of definite grades
and $1,000 for Investigating the insect

ing that 10 per cent. of all money re-
ceiVed from each forest reserve each
year shall be paid to the states or ter
ritorieS in which the reserves are sit
uated to be expended for the benefit OF
