 Be Delayed

Washington, May 24.-Whether Congress will adjourn in July or late in the fall probably will be determined this week. predicted they would put through the legislation asked by President Wilson, and still get away by July 15, but develop leaders to revise this opinion.

Omnibus Trust Bill


 Tuesday the Senate interstate commerce committee will determine whether it will report to the Senate it's omnibus trust bill or wait until the House sends over it's three bills on the same subject. If the committee decides to report out a bill framed by it's subcommittee there is every prospect for six weeks debate. If it decides to wait for the House bills 1t may conclude to report only one to the Sem ate, the bill providing for .trade com mission. Although the apReaTance of this bill also would lead to ghuch debate, demo- cratic leaders pIeba2y could force it's passage in lessefime than the omnibus bill.
 Senate Headers had expected to get througH with the tolls bill this week. but the<eact that the Senate undoubtedly will Adjourn tomorrow out of respect for the Jmemory of Senator Bradley, makes it probable that debate cannot be closed l before late Friday. A vote on the bill litself probably will not be taken until next week. Majority Leader Kern however, may resort to night sessions to end debate before Friday.
 While the Senate is busy with the tolls | bill the House will take up the second I of it's antitrust measures which contains many provisions for the further regulation | of trusts. The House will hold night ses- sions and may put the bill through by l Saturday.
 I General debate the bill probably will start tomorrow night. The measure is | threatened with general attack from | the republican side. It carries provisions dealing with interlocking directorates | holding companies, price fixing and the is- sue of labor rights and demands. l The American Federation of Labor is in- l sisting stronger provisions to exempt labor unions from antitrust prosecution and to liberalize injunction processes and contempt procedure
