MUCH HARD LABOR
AWAITS CONGRESS
Calendars Are damned and
Virtually Nothing Has Been
Accomplished.

d ~
washington, Jan. 6.-With final adj
journment of the SD congress exactly
two months away, the House today
CONFRONTED lamned calendar and
grist OF supply bills that promised
weary days and sleepless nights for
the legislators up to the final moment
of the session.
only single appropriation bill. the
Legislative, executive and judicial
supply measure, has been passed by
the House. The Indian appropriation
bill is now under consideration and
should be completed early next week.
Big Measurss Untouched.
The big appropriation measures.
which involve a vast amount OF detail
likely to cause long discussion, are
still to come. The postofflce appro-
priation bill has been reported from
the committee and is awaiting action
by the House. The military affairs
the army bill. which is expected to
develop considerable friction. Besides
there remain the naval appropriation
bill, with it's prospects for a fight on
the battleship program. the military
academy bin. the agricultural appro-
priation bin, the Notifications appro-
priation bill. the voluminous sundry
civil bill and the two so-called pork
barrel" bills for the river and. harbor
improvements and public buildings.
Must Work Nights.
With these prospects piled up for
the next two months, Representative
Fitzgerald. chairman of the approprla-
tions committee. declared today that
the House would be soon forced to
call night sessions for the considera-
ton of appropriation bills. He said
that committees would have the supply
measures ready for action on the floor
before the House was ready for them.
Mr.. Fitzgerald believes general leg
islation will have little chance on the
floor.
Members of the House are looking
forward to about month of night
and day grinding Just before the con-
clusion of the session, and the leaders
are already making plans to hold a
quorum of members that work may be
rushed through.

TARIFF BOOSTERS

Unionist Party Split and Liber-
ais Are Assured Contest of
British Government.

London. Ian. 6.-The project OF i'm
posing taxes on food imported into tho
British isles put forward by some Of
the leaders of the opposition in the
house OF commons, has created such
hopeless dissensfons In the auniOnist
party as to render almost certain, 1T fB
said, the retention of power by the lib-
eral government for the two years
necessary to overcome the resistance OF
the house Of lords to the home rule
bill.
On the other hand. the wrangies
among the unionists afford some temp
tation TO the government to make mn
appeal to the country on the change OF
coming back into power with an in
creased majority
which has little likelihood OF being
sanctioned by the members of the Irish
nationalist party, because it would de-
lay the passage of the home rule
bin and would even risk the return OF
the unionists to power, thus shelving
home rule altogether.
Will Push Program.
On the whole, therefore, the chances
now appear to be that the ministers.

parliament and will push on their leg

difficulties with the medical profession

According to one of the papers. 265
