 NBy 10 Practically Fixed Upon For
 Ad5ournment--Membe Uneasy. Washington Special.
 House and Senate leaders have been trying for several days to reach a ten tative agreement on date for the ad- tournment of Congress. A tip" went out yesterday afternoon that May 10 had been practically decided upon as the time for closing the session. Un- til yesterday afternoon the common talk in Congress rad fixed the date of adjournment at some time between May 15 and 20. Business is sufficiently advanced In both branches of Congress to enable it to adjourn on May 10. if 1t is so desired. The appropriation bills are further advanced at this date than they were at the session of Congress immediately preceding the last Presi- dential election. At that time Con- gress adjourned on April 2S. twelve days earlier than is now proposed
 Tn all of the present talk of early ad- journment, and in discussing the mea sures which remain to be passed, 1t is significant that no account Is taken of the legislative proposals urged by the President which have not found a place on the legislative program fixed up some weeks ago by the House and Senate leaders If the adjourn ment Is taken as early as May 10, ii seems highly probable that none of the labor and economic legislative pro- posed by the President will be en- acted.
 Representative Watson, Republican whip" of the House. recently nonnf- mated for Governor of Indiana. is one of those who is pushing the plan for an early adjournment. He recognizes that Indaina is hanging in the balance this year. and desires to get into the campaign early.
 There are a dozen of other RApub- lican Representatives whose districts are extremely doubtful this year who are anxious to get out among their constituents.

ing the Pere Marquette railroad. Oth'

act possible to put an end OF this
damnable abuse.
1T must be apparent to- everyone
that the expenses CT the state nave
