Washington.-The removal of thu
tariff as an issue before Congress by
the end of the week will mark ar
important step in the progress toward
an early adjournment. Agreements fol
votes on the leading tariff bills, cou
pied with understandings that Other
important legislation will be disposed
of, indicate that the week will see
some of the most important work oi
the session. IT,
Failure of Congress to agree on the
appropriation bills which should have
been passed before July LIST, has en-
barrassed many government depart
ments. Pressure has been brought to
bear on House and Senate to dispos
of the pending measures. and 1t is ex-
pec:ed much progress will be made in
the next few days. ~ -
The agricultural and naval bills are
in conference. Failure to act on the
postoffice appropriation bill has re-
tarded work in that department.
The first of the week will be de-
of the sundry civil appropriation bill
and the debate on the Panama canal
administration bill in the Senate.
The Democratic wool tariff bill will
be voted on Thursday, the excise tax
bill Friday and the sugar tariff Satur-
day. On each measure the debate will
be limited to the single day set for
the vote.
1t is expected that the House will
take up the tariff again and pass the
cotton bill, as the result of the SEN
ate's determination to submit the
other Democratic measures to vote.
The House will consider measures
regulating employment of seamen on
American ships: the eight-hour law
covering government work: the free
ship" bill, for the admission without
tariff duty of materials used in Amer
lean ships, and the wireless telegraph
measure agreed upon by the two
houses.
The need for immediate legislation
regulating the operation of the Pan
ANA canal is fully appreciated in the
Senate, where the fight over free tolls
for American ships threatens to hold
up the bill already passed by the
House. A plan has been broached IL
the Senate to pass temporary meas
ure giving President Taft executive
authority TO operate the canal and to
fix temporary toll rate, leaving the
permanent question to be settled al
the next session.
