1t is believed that, for political reasons the adj
mnistraton will not this time respond to the offer
of the minority of the House of Representatives,
rendered through its leader Mr.. Williams, though
the minority has demonstrated that it is not hide
bound in its partisanshp.
Mr.. Williams tells the President that if he will
deliver twenty or twenty-five votes from the Re-
publican side of the House to assist in the move
ment, the Democratic minority will see that bills
he advocates on the following subjects are put
through the House:
To compel publication of campaign contributions
Prohibition of child labor in the District of Co.
lumbia and the territories.
An employers liability law drawn to conform to
the recent decisions of the Supreme Court.
Federal liability to Government employees
law to prohibit the issuance of inunctions with
out notice to the party enjoined
Removal of the tariff on wood pulp and printing
paper.
Imposition of a Federal charge for every water
power right granted on navigab1e stream
Possibly the willingness of the minority to assist

may stimulate the Republican majority to activity,
tor the majority will remember that the President
not long ago, entered into arrangement with the
Democrats OF the Senate to pass the railroad rate
