CONGRESS GETS BUSY
SHORT SESSION OPENS WITH
CROWDED CALENDAR.
Fifteen Bills Appropriating More Than
Billion Dollars Must Be
Passed.

Washington. Dec. Scaling into
third congress, the gavels fell in the
senate and house at noon Monday. and
the legislators took up the task they
abandoned late in October Crowded
calendars confronted both houses, al
though 1t is apparent that the short
session, expiring March 4 by consti-
tutional limitation. must be devoted
largely to the annual appropriation
bills.
Little time was lost in preliminaries
In either house. Except for the hand
shaking and the jibes of both Repuh-
licans and Democrats concerning the
results of the last election, the BUSH
ness OF legislating began without spe-
cial ceremony or incident. There was
not the excitement attendant upon the
converting of a new congress, when
members are sworn In for their terms.
Crowded galleries were present In
senate and house, chief interest at
taching. however, to the lower body,
where the membership is larger and
where there was promised a renewal
of the eotton-relief filibuster which
tied UP congress just before adjourn
ment in October.
A survey of the calendars shows al
most a notwithstanding legislative pro-
gram, the features being as follows:
Fifteen appropriation bills must be
passed. This means that congress
must apportion more than one billion
dollars between December and
March 4. There will be approximately
sixty-five working days, making the
average appropriation per day about
seventeen million dollars, estimating
that the total appropriations will be at
least $1.100. 900, 900, as compared with
$1,116.000, 900 for the long session.
II the fight for public buildings
bill succeeds there will be 16 supply
measures and as extended fights are
imminent over rivers and harbors. the
naval increase and the army appro-
priation bill. night sessions probably
will be the rule during the short SEES
