1t is probable that the Senate wiz

no other measures are on the pro-
gram.
There are the corrupt practices and
Immigration bills. however, still on
the calendar with Senator'S Owen and
Smith. of South Carolina, ready to call
them up If possible. Senator Owen in
ssts that he will demand n vote OH a
motion to take up the corrupt prac-

have it, however. and administration
leaders are content to let the bill go
over. Should Senator Owen attempt n
filibustcr they Insist that an adjourn

take him off his feet There is a chance
that the immiration bill. which presi-
dent Wilson has already declared he
would veto. may be taken up. Should
this be done the bill would be forced

RAILROAD LEGISLATION MUST

That railroad legislation of per-
manent character must follow the
eight hour bill and temporary adjust
ment OF the threatened labor crisis is
conceded. Already it looms up as the
dominant subject for consideration OF
the next Congress and during recess OF
the Congress- thorough study of the sit
