NO EXTRA SESSION
IN PROSPECT NOW
Talk Abandoned Since Presi-
dent Is 10 Submit Tariff
Question This Winter.

The likelihood OF an extra session Of
Congress, which has been agitated with
vigor for the past two weeks. now seems
remote, in the face Of the announcement
the President is HkeTy TO submit the
wool schedule to-the short session for
revision.
There has been but one excuse ad-
vanced for an extra session. This was
10 reopen the tariff question, and but
one important schedule has been dis
cussed in connection with the reOpening-
This has been schedule X. which en-
braces the wool and cotton duties.
Question Of Tariff
It has not been definitely determined
whether the President VIII include his
recommendation on the tariff revision
IN the general message, or whether he
viii prepare a special message bearing
exclusively upon the need of reopening
the matter Of further notifications Of
the present tariff law.
In either event, It is certain the Presi-
dents tons to Congress viii
be based upon the findings Of the TariT
Son mission. The commission has al
ready prosecuted its investigation into
the wool schedule, and while it has
not reached final conclusions, the PreSi-
dent expects II Ia have report ready
for his consideration and the cOnSidera-
ton Of Congress before the first Of the
year
Advocates of an extra session Insist
that II viii be called. They say there
3 IS not more than enough time TO prop
erly consider the appropriation bills N
the three months left of the Sixty-E irst
Congress and that If the time OF the
short session is TO be taken up with the
consideration OF a tariff revision. the
appropriation bills viii not be passed
Would Force Extra Session.
This would undoubtedly force upon
the President the necessity OF Conven-
ing Congress IN a special session on
