ALL IS PEACEFUL YET
 IN NEW YORK STRIKE

NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-The second day of the strike of the unionized em- ployees of New York's subway, ele- vated and surface lines brought little interruption in the service. There is also very little sign of developments of the question as to whether the men will be permitted to organize. Every thing is still quiet and no rioting has taken place.

WASHINGTON, Sept 7.-Innerit- ing its most pressing problems from the European War and Mexican band- it's, and having had placed before it one of the most elaborate legislative programs ever known, theSixty-tourth Congress. now in its last hours, prob ably will go down in history as one of the nations most eyentfuT ses- sions.

 Preparedness" led in attention throughout. The largest naval appro- priation the world has ever known in peace-time, and the next-but-one largest army budget, were approved. Back of every economic measure child labor, rural credits, '. s. mer- chant marine, workmen's compensa- tiOn, was the cry of industrial pre- paredness."
 Though the Democratic party never lost its hold on legislation, and though President Wilson at all times was the admitted pilot, not a single measure passed both Houses on strict party lines.
 The most sensational episode of the session was the fight over the Gore end McLemore resolutions, warning Americans off armed merchant ships after Germany had given notice it in- tended torpedoing them. AvOwadIy slaps at the Presidents foreign policy, they brought the Chief Executive and Congress into sharp conflict.
 Leaders in Congress called on the President and warned him if the reso- lutions came to a vote, they would be approved, two to one. The Presidents answer was a summary demand that they be tabled. Three or four days passed while the fight was organized from the White House. Then his con gressiOnal Heutenants struck, and the
