supply bills as they ought to be consider

Christmas vacation, there are seventy
seven days. whereby working two or three
nights a week until a reasonable bedtime
hour, Congress can pass all the bills that
are absolutely necessary.
"A glut Of business brings the Rules
Committee into unusual prominence as
the steering committee to select what
seems to be the most important bills for
Congress to act upon. That is q sort Of
q lottery. The changes are that increas-
ed pay for clerks couldn't come UP with

May suspend Rules.
The opinion Of the Speaker makes II
seem certain that now legislation involv-
ing a general increase for all government
employees will not have much chance for
enactment at the coming short session.
and the leaders Of the movement last
night discussed the feasibility of making
an effort to bring up the Nolan bill un-
der a suspension Of the House rules.
The opening day Of Congress-, next
Monday, is the first calendar day for
seeking suspension of the tax rules,
but Representative Nolan stated last
night that he would not attempt to force
action at the opening session. This ac-
ton may be taken later II 1t appears that
a call Of. the Labor Committee will not
be reached on the House calendar to bring
I'D the bill for debate and a veto.
1t was announced yesterday that n
members OF the eighty-fourth Congress
are on record in writing as favoring the
Nolan minimum wage bill. There are
forty-f1ve members who were non-com-
initial on the subject when polled at the
last session. and 1t is said that a number
of these will be lined up for the meas
ure If 1t comes to a vote. With the full
membership of the House in attendance
21s votes would be enough to insure it,
passage.
VIII Probe Conditions.
The knowledge that the Standard Oil
Company had followed other large cor
porations and recommended a straight
increase of 80 1-3 per cent in the salaries
of its employees led the Department of
Labor to make plans for polling these
corporations for the purpose of finding
what conditions brought about the gen
eral increase.
Chief Statistician Stewart tomorrow
will seek authorization for making q gem
eral poll Of business houses, and the
information will be compiled and pre-
sented for the consideration Of Congress
at the short session.
