Majority Leaders Suggestion.

Majority Leader Kitchen said today
there is n plan afoot to convene the
House daily at 10 o'clock instead of
noon. The morning hours of each day
are usually devoted to committee work,
but inasmuch as the important com
mittee work has been finished with the
exception of that necessary on the ap-
preparation bills. it is believed the speed
ing up process may be materially helped
by early meetings.
AS expected, many members have in
iroduced bills and resolutions designed
to relieve the cost-of-living situation.
Food embargo proposals. schemes to
regulate cold storage of food products; !;
resolutions granting higher wages to
post Office employees. and similar bills
were introduced in large numbers.
Regardless OF the fact that the food
and embargo situation is the biggest
question before Congress. it has not
taken definite formal shape.
Nearly every member has the ques-
tion before him in the shape of let
ters and petitions. Representative
Fitzgerald literally has a barrel full
of petitions and concentrations re .
lating to his four embargo bills. and
cloakroon1 and Office building CONVEX
sation teens with the pros and cons
of embargo proposals.

no legislation now pending before the
Congress whose passage the country
awaits with more thoughtful approval
or greater impatience to see great
and admirable thing set in the way of
being done.
There are other matters already ad-
vanced to the stage of conference be-
tween the two houses Of ld which it i is
Some practicable basis Of agreement

HOUSE LEADERS HOPING
TO SPEED LEGISLATION
Considering Ways and Means to Pre-
vent the Calling of Extra
Session.

Having received the Presidents mes
sage today, with its suggestions for
leSi Sislation for the session. Congress
leaders this afternoon set about
the work of speeding up the work of
the lawmakers SO as to accomplish all
there is to be done. and at the same
time to make sure there Will be no
extra session.
Speaker Clark's s plan to abandon the
Christmas recess is being discussed. but
no definite announcement has been
made. Several members who will have
considerable to do with the work of
Congress believe that a weeks vaca- :
tion a Christmas time is essential, on
the ground that not enough members to
make a quorum will remain here at that

Embargo Legislation Not Likely.

And yet it is highly probable the
program of the session will not con-
tain embargo legislation. That does
not mean there Will he no fight to pass
an embargo measure, however. Every
member whose constituents demand an
embargo will back Representative Fitz-
gerald in an endeavor to pass such a
bill.
Probably Christmas VIII pass before
the Presidents proposed railway leg!s-
lation reaches the floor. Representative
Adamson of Georgia, chairman of the
interstate and foreign commerce COM
mittee of the House, Will spend Shrist-
mas week at his home. regardless of
what the rest of the House does
Representative Raker Of California
will urge an early report of his uni
versal suffrage measure from the
House committee on judiciary. At the
same time prohibitionists will urge
that the universal dry" measure shall
be reported from that committee. IN
the past ten years these two measures
have balanced one another SO that one
could not be touched without the other,
and the combination thus effected has
prevented either from finish vote.

dare say the Congress would hesitate to
act upon the suggestion should [ make
it, that any man in any occupation should
be obliged by law to continue in an en-
ployment which he desired to leave. To
pass a law which forbade or prevented
the individual workman to leave his
work before receiving the approval of
society in doing SO would be to adopt
a new principle into our Jurisprudence
which / take it for granted we are not
prepared to introduce.
But the proposal that the operation
of the railways of the country shall
not be stopped or interrupted by the
concerted action of organized bodies of
men until a public investigation shall
have been instituted which shall make
the whole question at issue plain for

Thinks Proposal Is Justifiable.

1t is based upon the very different
principle that the concerted action of
powerful bodies of men shall not be
permitted to stop the industrial proc
esses of the nation, at any rate before
the nation shall have had an oppor-
tunity to acquaint itself with the mer-
it's of the case as between enploye and
employer, time to form its opinion upon
an impartial statement of the merits.
and opportunity to consider all practi-
cable means of conciliation or arbitra-
ton. I can see nothing in that propo-
sition but the justifiable safeguarding
by society of the necessary processes
of its very life. There is nothing ar
bitrary or unjust in it unless it be ar
bitrari!y and unjustly done. II can
and should be done with full and
scrupulous regard for the interests and
liberties of all concerned as well as for
the permanent interests of society it
self
Three matters of capital Importance
await the action of the Senatt which
have already been acted upon by the
House Of Representatives the bill
which seeks to extend greater free-
dom of combination TO those engaged
in promoting the foreign commerce Of
the country than is now thought by
some to be legal under the terms of the
laws against monopoly: the bill amend
ing the present organic law OF forto
Rico: and the bill proposing more
thorough and systematic regulation OF
the expenditure of money in elections,
commonly called the corrupt practices
net / need not labor III yadVice that
these measures be enacted INTO law
Their urgency lies in the manifest
circumstances which render their adop-
ton at this time not only opportphe'
but necessary Even delay would Sc
riousIy leopard the interests OF the
country and of the government.
Immediate passage of the Dill TO
regulate the expenditure Of money IN
elections may seem to be less necessaf J
than the immediate enactment OF the
other measures to which l refer; be
cause at least two years Will elapse be-
fore another election in which federal
offices are to be filled; but 1t would
greatly relieve the public mind II thiS

funds stand clear under recent obserNa-
ton and the methods Of expenditure
can be frankly stufied in the light of
present experience. and delay Would
have the further very serious dlsad-
vantage Of postponing action until an
other election was at hand ana some
special object connected with il might
be thought to be in the mind Of those
who urged it. Action can be taken now
