He was promptly placed behind the

WASHINGTON. Sept. labor day
brought no cessation of activity to con-
gress which, having spent nearly all of
last week on measures warding off the
railroad strike called for today, hoped
for belattd adjournment Wednesday or

fled to political fields Of their homes,
leaving fag-ends of legislation to be fin
ished by depleted houses.
The Webb bill to allow American ex-
ports to organize selling agencies
abroad, whose Immediate passage Pres
ident Wilson favors, the revenue bill,
and the Porto Rican citizenship bill
were to be acted upon in the senate.
Congressional leaders planned to post
pone consideration of the immigration
and corrupt practices bills and further
strike measures bill suggested by the
president until next session.
The eight-hour day act, passed Satur-
day evening, was considered a law to-
day, having received President Wilson's
signature yesterday but to avoid any
chance Of it's being held void on the
ground that it received executive tp-
prevail on a legal holiday, the president
will sign it again tomorrow on his re-
turn from Hodgenville, KY, where to-
day he attended Lincoln Memorial exer-
cises.
Senators Simmons and Martin and Ma
jority Leader Kitchin of the house,
agreed today the house should pass a
joint resolution for adjournment of con-
gress at o'clock Wednesday evening.
The senate will defer action on the reso-
1utiO,, until II dafarpoinaa that oil ueoaS-
sary business can be completed by that
time.
Senator Simmons said an effort would
be made to pass the revenue bill before
adjournment tonight If possible so the
conferees would have Tuesday and We'd
nesday to complete their report on senate
amendments.
