to deal with illegal restraints Of inter

take rather wide range. and all per.

Undoubtedly other departments OF

Commission will have data and views
which will be Of the greatest assist

HOUSE LEADERS CLARK AMI
kiTCHIN CONFER WITH

LEADERS TO SUPPORT BILL
Hiuh Cost of Living ls Likely to Re-
ceive Attenton.-Leaders Want No
Holiday Recess as Time is Short
For so Much Work.

Washington. Speaker Clark and
Representative Nitchn, Majority
Leader of the House. assured Prcsi-
dent Wilson at a White House confer
ence that they would do all they
could to hasten the passage Of rail.
road legislation at the short session OF
Congress which began Monday.
The President summoned the House
leaders to talk over with them the
legislative program and to secure
their cooperation in cxpedting i'm
portant measures. Legislation to sup
plement the Adamson law, he said,
was of the utmost Importance and he
asked that this be given precedence
in consideration over all other gen.
eral legislation.
Realizing that three months is a
short period for consideration Of gen.
eral measures when appropriation
bills also must be passed. the Presi.
dent asked the House leaders If they
thought there would be time for en-.
March 4. Both told him they thought
there would be, and promised to ex-
ert every effort to economize time on
other matters.
Speaker Clark reminded the Presi-
dent that Congress would have to pay
strict attention to business, and him
to help at the outset to eliminate the
usual two weeks holiday recess.
President Wilson spoke briefly re.
garding other important measures,
among them the Webb bill to permit
domestic corporations to maintain
collective foreign selling agencies, the
corrupt political practices bill and
conservation measures. Proposed en-
barge legislation and issues raised
by the high cost Of living we're not
mentioned at the conference, although
the House leaders believe the subject
is bound to demand attention of the
congress.

The troops brought back many Of
their field pieces. Women camp fol-

of them had children said to have been
