AS to what will become of the saving
made by water transportation he said:
"The eastern buyer will absorb the
reduction in cost of carriage. 1t is
not likely that new manufactures will
be stimulated because of our higher
wage scale and higher standard OF in
dividual living. On the contrary, this
market is likely to be crowded with
the production of eastern manufac-
turers.

That Date Many Republicans Think
Extra Session Likely Through
Spring and Summer.

Washington, Dec. AT moor Mon
day convened the third session of the
sixty-third congress, for which mem
bers of both houses flocked to Wash
ington, ending their holiday recess of
six weeks.
Democratic leaders in informal con-
ference before the opening of the ses-
sion, which is destined to be devoted
chiefly to appropriation measures,
have been unanimous in expressing
the hope that the Legislative program
of necessities could be concluded by
March 4 next, when the present con
gress automatically will end.
Many republican leaders. however,
have stated that there were many i'm
portant measures which they would
urge for passage, and some indicated
that supply bills might be delayed to
such an extent that an extra session
next spring and summer would be
necessary.
Administration leaders awaited Gag
erly the annual message of President
Wilson, delivered in joint session on
Tuesday, for a definite outline of the
Presidents wishes for legislation.
