Much Work Before conore...

WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator
Kern, democratic leader of the SEN
ate, predicted that congress, far from
being able to adjourn for the June
conventions, would scarcely be
through by September.
He announced there is no intention
among democratic leaders to abandon
any legislation. All major matters
will be brought through to a finish,
he said. This program is contradic-
tory to one which has generally been
understood to be favored by the presi-
dent
Inc legislation which will take a
great deal of time, it is expected, in.
cludes:
The navy bill. all large appropria-
tons bills, all the revenue bills, ship
purchase bill, rural credits, immigra-
ton, child labor. and other measures.
Prolonged fights, perhaps filibusters,
are practical certainties in the ship
purchase and child labor bills.
Rural credits will be the next
legislation to be considered by the
senate.
A large amount of conservation
islation-including bills for water
power, mining and grazing lands still
in public domain, will also be consid-
cred, but probably not enacted into
law because of differences between
two houses.
