A speculative movement of tremen-

crude oil in the Wyoming fields.
Denver brokers declare that every

House Fails to Meet the Sen
ate Demand, Refusing to
Incorporate Casualty In
surance Plan in Measure.
TALK OF AN EXTRA
SESSION NOW HEARD
Democrats in Lower House
Stand by the Anderson
Bill, Rejecting Amend
ments - Stormy Session
While Bill Is Considered.

The legislature appears to be dead
locked over the passage of u work
mems compensation act with the pos
sibility of an extra session staring
members in the face.
BY refusing to incorporate a casualty
insurance compensation plan in the
bill amended Saturday, the house
failed to meet the senate demand.
After an all-day filibuster the lower
house extracted in toto the body of
senate bill No 40 passed by the up
per house and substituted therefor the
body of the Anderson compensation
bill which had been previously killed.
But two amendments to the Ander-
son bill were made, one reducing the
waiting period to receive compensa-
tion from two weeks to seven days and
the other providing for reinsuring Of
risks.
Twenty one senators have signed an
agreement to pass no compensation bill
except the Rockwell measure which
precludes them from accepting the SEN
ate bill as amended by the house.
Those in high authority assert that
if a deadlock prevents passage of a
compensation measure there will be a
session extraordinary.

not a little talk of an extra session or

Senator Perry w. Mitchell, president

that the Legislature is to adjourn its

posals, is understood at the state de-
partment as meaning that the gov
ernments will exchange views. not that
there is to be a gathering of premiers
or foreign ministers for a formal con-
ference.
So far there has been no occasion
for the state department to join in any
'of the several conferences which have
been held in the capitals of the en-
tente nations during the war. This
attitude Is understood to have been
due to the conviction that so far these
conferences have had to do with
strictly European issues
No such limitation applies to the
these touch interests vital to the
United States 1t is believed, how.
ever, that the necessary measure of
cooperation between the nations at
war with Germany can be secured
through cabled exchanges and con-
ferences between the diplomatic rep
resentatives and the foreign secre-
taries at the different capitals.
It was said today that these ex-
changes would begin very soon
Strong objection is made at present
by officials of the administration to
attempts on the part of the press to
forecast the nature OF the reply that
will be made by President Wilson
But it is not denied that nothing has
been presented by the pope to war

by the action of water on the soft
