PRESIDENT SILENT
ONEXTRA SESSION
Expected to Attempt to Get
Program Through Congress
This Winter.
ALL HOPE FOR 0NG REST

President Wilson is keeping to him
self any plans, if any, he may have for
an extra session of Congress in the
event the national Legislative body
fails to enact the recommendations he
will make next week. but there are
hints that he will press very hard for
the passage of the legislation concern
ing threatened railroad strikes he pro-
posed last September at the time Con-
gress STAYED off the big strike by pass
ing the eight-hour law.
The President understands thorough
ly the difficulty Congress has in passing
the appropriation bills at the short ses-
sion. but he also understands the sense
of relief the country would feel over
legislation that would tend to prevent
or delay great railroad tie-ups either
by the brotherhoods or the railroads
Having once determined that leglsia-
ton is vitality essential, he is not the
man. his friends today pointed out, to
tolerate unnecessary delay. Failure to
pass the laws he urges at the short ses-
sion would postpone them for more
than year and continue the suspense
in the relations between the railroads
and the brotherhoods.
Expected to Call Leaders.
1t was felt today among congress-
the President will next week. after his
address to Congress, call into confer
ence the democratic leaders and ex-
plain to them his belief that Congress
should put on all possible speed and
put through the recommendations he
will make to that body, thereby stop
ping any possibility of an extra session.
The Presidents campaign and other
speeches have plainly suggested that
as the democratic party has made good
its promise to the country regarding
legislation it is in position to enact
quickly the few remaining important
things the country is looking tor 2nd
i, then go home for rest, a condition
that would be as agreeable to the peo-
pie to Congress
That the President will not look upon
, az extra session with favor is gener-
ally understood; but. on the other hand,
- democratic views today,
he may consider such session less to
: be IL. eaded than the poStponing of
legislation for the settlement of strikes
that threaten the food supplies of the
people and the business of the country.
Not a Partisan Program.
1t is agreed by democrats generally
that the party ought to be inclined to
pull with the President for the railroad
legislation at the short session. because
the next House may be republican in
makeup. but hostile House would not
prevent the President calling Congress
in extra session He does not regard
his recommendations as partisan, and
thinks that the legislators of both mar
ties should be willing to get together
for laws looking to hte good of the
country
The extra-session proposition may
loom UP even larger if the Supreme
Court should declare the eight-hour law
unconstitutional and force the whole
question of hours and wages and the
publics interest before Congress.

them.
With her 100000, 900 population,

THE SPAN OF TWO LIVES

A letter from Mr.. Henry H.
Archer, secretary of the West Vir-
ginia board of trade, concerning the
official birthday dinner Of West Vir-
ginia that will be held June 20 at
Parkersburg, conveys an impressive
suggestion dealing with the marvel
of American development.
Henry Gassaway Davis, father OF
industrial West Virginia, died a few
weeks ago. He was present in Bal
timore when, in 1928, the corner
stone of the Baltimore and Ohio rail.
way was laid; the oldest railway in
the country.
That cornerstone was laid by
Charles Carroll Of Carrollton, signei
of the Declaration of independence.
Thus the span Of two mems active
lives covered the history of this ma.
ton from independence and revolu.
ton to its present stature as a com.
munity of 100,000,000 people, vast.
ly the richest on earth.
