Discuss Revenue Bills.
The Ways and Means Committee dis
cussed yesterday, but only tentatively, the
needed revenue bills and the 5000 0oo, 900
bond issue. Chairman Kitchin is absent
from Washington, but the other members
discussed lowering the minimum taxable
income to 5000 per annum and materially
increasing existing surta1 rates They
also reviewed the excess profits tax laws
with a view to inaugurating increases In
that quarter.
The Committee on Merchant Marine Is
expected in a day or SO to report an ap-
preparation bill for the repair Of German
and Austrian ships seized in American
ports in order that they may be rendered
seaworthy, this augmenting the present
commercial fiotilla of the United States
and, in some instances, adding to the ma
val auxiliaries and to the transport serv-
ice Of both the army and the navy.
The House Committee on the judiciary
will at once resume consideration OF
the espionage bill. which was passed
by the Senate at the last session of Con-
gress, but which went by the board in
the jam of legislation occasioned by the
Senate f1libuster and general congestion
around the inaugural season. To some
OF the members the bill as passed by
the Senate is not satisfactory in one re-
spect. Whereas. 1t Is not felt that the
maximum penalties provided therein are
too drastic, some Of the minimum
sentences. applicable under the proposed
law. are regarded as excessive. But
the bill will receive an early report ano
speedy action.
Also the War Department Is bringing
pressure to bear on Congress for the
early enactment Of a censorship bill.
Just now the executive departments of
the government are depending wholly

The Department of Justice is framing

Congress will consider the existing
strike between the Washington Railway
and Electric Company and its employees,
since the Senate committee which has
been considering the resolution of Sen
ator Hughes providing for an investiga-
ton, has decided to report the resolution.
There probably will be a minority re-
port signed by Senator Smoot, but the
Democratic members OF the committee
to which the resolution was referred
have agreed to recommend the passage
of the resolution. The favorable report
from the committee probably will be
made today.
Democratic members Of the committee
are Senators Thompson. Jones and Nc
Kellar. Minority members are Senators
SmOot and France.
With the completion of the roster Of
the major committees of the House by
the assignment of minority members the
Crosscr bill for municipal ownership and
the Cary bill for the investigation Of the
strike by a joint committee will be push
ed for the purpose OF securing a hearing.
The company last night issued a state
mCnt stating that there were now six
car houses entirely free of strikebreakers
and operated by a permanent force.
II was further stated that new men
continue to be employed and that many
Of the older men who have been on strike
are daily reporting for work in order to
avail themselves of the opportunity OF
securing regular runs as prescribed by
the notice posted by Supt. Stephens to
the effect that at midnight tonight all
who do not return by this time will lose
their seniority of pay due to years of
service.
It was stated that this did not mean .
lockout OF the men. but that all those
who did not report before tomorrow
would only be re-employed at the rate of
pay of new men whenever they did re-
turn or apply for reinstatement as train
men
