CALLS PARTY LEADERS
PRESIDENT INVITES CHIEFS TO
CONFERENCES
Both Democrats and Republicans viii
Meet to Discuss War Legislation
at White House.

Washington, Feb. 13. = President
Wilson will begin a series of confer
ences today with congress- leaders
both Republicans and Democrats-on
all phases of war legislation. For the
first time members of both parties are
10 be taken into the White House
councils in the consideration of war
legislation and in this way the admin
istration expects to smooth out some
of the difficulties which confront the
wdar program.
The presidents move is regarded as
the first step toward taking members
of both parties more into his conf
dence and toward calling the Repub-
licans actively into the war councils.
The pending bill to empower the
president to consolidate executive de-
partment functions and redistribute
work among them, now openly OPP
posed By the Republicans, will be one
of the first subjects to come up. Some
of the Democrats do not favor it, and
the Republicans openly denounce it as
comforting too great authority.
The bill, however, is the administra-
tiOn's proposal to the senate
military committee bill to create a SUI
perwar cabinet and director of mu-
nitiOns. The president is represented
as being unalterabIy opposed to the
committee plan and many members
of congress are just as much opposed
to the presidents plan.
