CONGRESS DRAWS
WILSON s PRAISE
Full of Helpful and Humane
Legislation Ended All

WASHINGTON. Sept. S.-Prest

work of congress during the session
just closed and at the same time
served notice on the departing leg
islators that ne would insist upon
passage of his recent strike prevent
i've legislation program in the early
days of the next session.
The president issued the following
statement:
"A very remarkable session of
congress has just closed, fun. as all
recent sessions of the congress have
been, of helpful and humane legis-
lation which constituted contribu-
tons of a capital importance 10 the
defense, the economic progress and
the wholesome life Of the country.
1T is 10 be regretted that the
session could not have been con-
tinued longe enough 10 complete
the program recently projected
with regard TO the accommodations
of labor disputes between the rail-
ways and the employees, out it was
not feasible in the circumstances to
continue the session any longer and
therefore only the most Immediately
pressing parts of the program could
be completed. The rest. il is
agreed, has merely been postponed
until il can be more maturely de-
liberated md perfected. havs
every reason TO believe that il is the
purpose Of the leaders of the two
houses Immediately upon the reas-
sembling Of congress to undertake
this additional legislation. 1t is
evident that the country should be
relieved OF the anxiety which must
have been created by recent events
with regard TO the future accOmmo-
dation Of such disputes"

WASHINGTON, Sept. s. - The

son at the white house today an
autograph letter from King George
Of England explaining why Great
Britain could not agree to the Po-

places the blame on Germany for

Inasmuch as the Phelan pro-
visions authorizing a mails tele-

nations interfering with American
n ails had been stricken from the

question OF retalatory legislation
was not discussed between the pres
