Senator Williams Declares People
Expect Action on Emergency
War Measures.

During the Senate debate yesterday,
Senator Williams, democrat, of Missis-

war legislation and declared he wished
the President had the powers to come
before Congress in the same way the
British premier goes before parlia-
ment
There is a chance OF the central
powers breaking through the italian
front and attacking France from the
rear" the senator declared, "but while
that is being done, you are tweedling
away here over the provisions of
bill. The American people expect you
and me to get through these appro-
priations and emergency war measures
and go home"
Senator Williams declared the two
great forces in the public arena today
were Premier Lloyd George and Presi-
dent Wilson. both Of whom agree the
central powers must be fought, not as
separate forces, but as a body When
the British premier was assailed, the
senator observed. he went before par
Lament and replied.
Il wish to God that President Wilson

gress and say just what Lloyd George

NO ambassador has had to discharge
duties of greater delicacy or more far
reaching Importance than those which

diligence or more conspicuous ability
and ultimate success"

PUSH HEARINGS ON
RAISESF0R CLERKS
Will Be Held Next Week Pre-
Iiminary to Drafting 0m-
nibus Bill.

Hearings preliminary to drafting an
| omnibus bill for increased salaries for
government employees are to start early
next week. 1t is the intention of the
committee holding these hearings to
dispose of the matter as quickly as
possible. The hearings are expected to
last not more than three or four days.
The date for starting the hearings
has not been definitely set. but it prob
ably will be Tuesday or Wednesday.
This depends somewhat on the legis-
lative program in the House and
whether Representative Byrns of Ten
nessee, chairman of the subcommittee
which is to hold the hearings, will be
called upon to handle the legislative,
executive and judicial appropriation
bill on the floor of the House.
Following conferences late yesterday
with Chairman Sherley of the House
appropriations committee and the
chairmen and ranking members of
termined that the legislative subcom-
mittee of the House appropriations
committee will be in charge of this
omnibus salary increase bill.
Chairman Byrns said today he In
tends to ask the chairman and ranking
minority member of the various ap-
preparation committees to meet with
his subcommittee in the hearing. MI
Byrns said it is the desire of his COM
mittee to dispose of the increased sal
ary question as soon as possible. He
feels that there Is no need for extended
hearings. as the members generally are
quite familiar with conditions and ar
guments that can be advanced.
He says the hearings have been ar
ranged only in order that few wit
nesses who have some special offer in
the way of testimony can have the OPP
portunity to present 1t. There is no
intention of throwing the hearings
open to general discussion and review
Of arguments which already have been
presented.
Chairman Byrns hopes thus to expe-
dite legislative action SO that what
ever increase in salary the bill may
carry will be made available as soon as
possible for the government worker.
