With railroad legislation out Of

were today engaged in attempts
to bring about a speedy wind-up
Of the present session of Con-
gress, which began nine months

ate and House plan to have final
adjournment at 6 o'clock We'd
nesday evening, if possible.
At conference between Senator Sim

Senator Martin. chairman of the appro-
priations committee, and in charge of
the general deficiency bill-last of the
appropriation measures remaining to be
enacted into 1aw-and Representative
Kitchin. majority leader of the House,
it was determined that a joint resolu
ton providing for an adjournment of
Congress at that hour and day be
passed by the House today and sent to
the Senate. The Senate probably will
not adopt the resolution until it be-
comes evident that an adjournment can
be had at the hour specified. If 1t be-
comes apparent that adjournment can
not be taken until later the resolution
will be amended to fix a later hour.
Revenue Bill to Be Rushed.
Senator Simmons said today he hoped
for an adjournment not later than
Thursday He plans to keep the revenue
bill before the Senate until it is passed
If it appears possible to reach vote
before adjournment, today or tonight,
he may ask for a night session He esti-
mates that at least day and a night
will be needed in conference between
the houses over the bill, since the SEN
ate has amended the House bill radi-
cally.
Some delay may be caused by an at
tempt to amend the revenue bill in the
Senate by adding to it the Webb bill,
permitting combinations of American
exporters to obtain foreign trade for
this country. The Senate finance COM
mittee has decided that it will not offer
this bill as an amendment as originally
MANNED by some members of the COM
mittee but that it will not antagonize
the amendment if offered on the floor
by a senator. 1t is understood that it
will be so offered. The Webb bill
passed the House Saturday evening.
If Senator Owen again attempts to
get action on his corrupt practices bill
and other senators seek to have the
immigration bill passed at this session
the plans for an early getaway may
be upset. However. so anxious are the
leaders on both sides to bring the ses-
sion of Congress to a close that pre-
diction was made today that these
measures would not be taken up.
