DEMOCRATS CAN'T
agree ON plan
OF LEGISLATION
Differences Over Measures
to be Given Precedence
Threatens Program.

Washington, Jan. 26-Echoes of last
nights turbulent caucus Of senate
Democrats and failure today of the
steering committee to agree on a pro-
gram for the remaining weeks of this
session emphasized the serious tangle
over legislation which threatens
either to force an extra session of
congress or abandonment until next
winter of several important admins
tration measures.
1t became known today that threats
and counter threats followed in quick
succession at the caucus last night
when it was proposed to put certain
bills in the program to the exclusion
of other measures Railroad legisla-
ton, urged by the president, was one
target for attack, particularly the
strike prohibition feature, although 1t
was agreed generally that some form
of legislation along this line should
be enacted before adjournment. In
fact, some administration leaders de-
clare failure to do so will furnish the
only possible motive for the presi-
dent to call an extra session.
The corrupt practices bill is OPP
posed by Southern senators who de-
clare they will not yield to the fed
eral control of elections proposed
They will submit various amend
ments, and already there is opposition
to the proposed changes. There
seems little prospect for final action
at this session, if other legislation is
to be enacted.
