Additional Railroad Legis-

Signs Many Bills

Washington, D. c., Sept. S.-Con-
gress adjourned sine die this morning
at 10 o'clock. concluding a session,
record breaking in many respects, with
appropriations and other authorize
tions fo- the future running we'll to-
ward two billion dollars.
In a statement issued following the
adjournment of Congress, President
Wilson called attention to the help
full and humane legislation passed
and declared that while he regretted
additional legislation dealing with the
recent dispute between the railroads
and their employees had not been COM
pleted, he had every reason to believe
the question would be taken up irnme-
diately after Congress reassembled.
Called Rcmarka bic Session
The Presidents statement follows:
"A very remarkable session of Con-
gress has just closed, full, as all re-
cent sessions of the Congress have
been. of helpful and humane legisla-
ton which constitutes contributions of
capital importance to the defense, the
economic progress, and the wholesale
life of the country
1T is to be regretted that the ses-
sion should not have continued long
enough to complete the program re-

commodation of labor disputes be-
tween the railways and the employees,
but it was not feasible in the circum-
stances to continue the session any
longer and therefore only the most
Immediately pressing parts of the pro-
gram could be completed.
The rest. it is agreed, has merely
been postponed until 1t can be more
naturely deliberated and perfected l
have every reason to believe that it is
the purpose of the leaders of the two
houses Immediately upon the reassem-
bling of Congress to undertake this
additional legislation. 1t is evident
that the country should be relieved of
the anxiety which must have been
created by recent events with regard
to the future accommodation of such
disputes"
Most Extravagant
The sixty Congress has
been superlative in several ways
said Senator Jacob H Gallinger, min
ority leader of the Senate. 1T has
been the most eXtravagant and the
most wasteful Congress in the nations
history. 1t is doubtful whether any
Congress Of the past can compare to it
in volume of useless and harmful leg

NO previous Congress, perhaps, has
will.
