P. p. r. MAY REDUCE ORDER

BY Telegraph to The Tribune
Piitsburg. Nov. I6-Makers of steel rails
IN flttSourg are plainly worried over a per
sistent rumor that the Pennsylvania Rail
ROAD. which had been expected to order not
less than 10000 tons of new rails in 1911,
has decided TO cut this figure more than
half: that perhaps not more than 6o.gpO
tons VIII he ordered. with the promise of
supplementary orders TO come later. The
basis for this rumor appears to be the re-
port Of the last inspection trip over the
road. to the effect that the road was in
excellent condition This is taken ID indi-
cate that not many rails would be needed
this coming year.

difficulties that would arise when the day
fell on Sunday or even Saturday or Mon
day. The extension of the term of Con-
gress is matter for Congress itself to con-
slider.
The suggestion has been made that the
President and the Vice President might take
the oath on March 4, and then that cere-
mony might be held later, on the last Thurs
day in April, or some other day, something
similar to the coronation ceremonies of the
King of England. But the national COM
mittee feels that the vital interest of the
Inauguration is, of course, in the actual taking
of the oath and the delivery of the inaugural
address. That is what the people come to
Washington in large numbers from all States
to witness; and we cannot agree that there
should be two occasions, one the vital event,
and the other ceremony of some character,
but of no great Importance, certainly, later on.
Why the Amendment
THE reason why change of the Constitu-
ton is required is because that document
states that the term of President and Vice
President shall be four years, and it cannot
be extended or reduced without amendment.
Congress comes into being on March 4.
1t does not necessarily meet that day, and
unless an extra session is called it does not
meet until the first Monday in December
following. Therefore, we see no necessity
for extending the life of Congress from
March until the last Thursday in April
simply to make coincident with the termina-
ton of Congress the incoming of the new
executive administration. 1t could be called
in extra session, if desired; it's members
could be here, if they desired. at the time
of the Inauguration, as now. The Inaugural
tons of President and Vice President are en-
tirely Independent of any action by Con-
called in extra session to consider presidential
nominations of Cabinet and other officers
who are necessary for the beginning of his
administration, and so that body would be in
Washington in any event:
