 OPENLY FIGHTS
 THE PRESIDENT Democratic Leader Makes First Move to Force Early
 Adjournment. WOULD POSTPONE ALL TRUST LEGISLATION Is Joined by Progressive and Republi. can Leader in Request for tTnani- nous Consent to Consider ah
 Bills Monday.

Washington, June 23.-Democratie Leader Underwood made his first move today for forcing an early ad- journment by securing unanimous consent in the house for the consid- erafion next Monday of pending legis- lation, irrespective of it's order on the house calendar.
 This motion comes always at the beginning of the end of every session of congress. It is designed to rush legislation as it forces the attendance of two-thirds of the house member ship, that number being -aquired to take up any bill for consideration in the face of objection.
 Republican Leader Mann and Pro- gressive Leader Murdock joined with Mr. Underwood after the latter had announced he had i,o intention to force consideration on Monday of any of the conservation bills The latter bills are considered now part of the presidents legislative program for the house after passage of the appropria- tion bills, and while the senate is working out the trust legislation. The decisive stand taken by Under- | wood for clearing of the house calen- l dars of the most important bills Is l said by house members to show the differences that have arisen between l the president and the Democratic leader The latter has denied that his efforts to hiring about an early ad- iournment have provoked white house coolness, but be Is persisting in l oNp s,, r~f mined demand by the president that the trust legislation shall be passed at this session.
 | MT. Underwood and other house leaders are of the opinion that ad- journment will be delayed indefinitely if the trust legislation is to be passed at this session. The senate is making radical changes in the trust bills as they passed the house. It will re- quire weeks for the senate to conclude its consideration of these measures and more time will be required for the house and senate to get together on their disagreements.
 l Spurred on by Mir. Underwood. house members in charge of the ap- propriatioN bills are rushing them through the house. Conference re- ports on the fertilization bill were agreed to by the house. Chairman Fitzgerald said he expected to get through this week his sundry civil bill. The general efficiency bill, the only appropriation bill now in com- mittee, will be brought into the house next week. It is small bill and can be passed in a few hours.
 With these bills out of the way. MT. Underwood has given notice that he will take up again with the president his proposal for an adjournment of congress without the passage of the trust bills.
 What Trade Commission Will Do. | Washington, June 23-A strong re- l port in support of the senate trade commission bill was made to that
 body today by Senator Newlands, who expects tomorrow to call the measure up and make it the unfinished busi- ness. The Newlands bill is substi- tute for the house measure, the only thing remaining in the bill as it came from the house being the enacting 3 clause. They are alike in principal 4 but totally different as to detail. In the Newlands bill the proposed com
 mission is given full power to deter mine what is unfair competition, and empowers the commission to pre- vent such competition.
 "The establishment of trade com- mission when the interstate com- merce commission was created" says ! the report, would have prevented the
 extraordinary developments of mono
 polistic organizations in industry. If | this commission had been in existence
 during this period we would not nave
 to deal with such organizations as the
 United States Steel corporation, the International Harvester company or the American Sugar Refining coms
