Conoress to Act Promptly

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Prompt consideration in congress of President Wilson's proposed legislation was predicted here today after announce ment of the termination of conference between railway and brotherhood heads in New York in an unsuccessful attempt to settle their differences The view was taken that representatives of employers and employees had thrown their entire controversy into the lap of congress for settlement.
 Hearings on part of the presidents s program will begin before the senate commerce committee next Tuesday. Witnesses for the roads, the brother hoods and the general public have been advised to appear then to pre- sent their views on the proposals to prevent threatened strikes pending inquiries and to authorize the presi- dent to take over railroad, telegra ph and telephone lines in times of mili- tary necessity
 Under a plan suggested by the presi- dent quick action can be obtained on the entire program once it reaches the floor. The president proposes amending instead of introducing it in the form of separate bills. Brotherhood men, aided by the American Federation of Labor, will fight the proposed strike postpon nent amendment, they have an nounced
 They insist that it's passage would only give employers time to prepare for strikes and would deny labor the right to refuse work when conditions gre unsatisfactory.
