Demands Are Made for Less Talk and
 More Work.

Washington, April 14-Spurred by the call from France for more speed in Americas war programme and also by hope for early adjournment, con gross enters this week with demands from all quarters for less talk and more action. Some of the leaders think important legislation may be cleared away in time for adjournment within sixty days.

The draft bill, passed yesterday by the house. changing the basis of quotas from state populations to the number of men in Glass 1. has right of way. It will be, returned to the senate tomorrow.
 A conference report on the, sabotage bill, with it's severe penalties for de- struction of war materials or inter ference with war industries, is ready for submission, and with provisions regarded, respectively, as prohibiting and sanctioning workmen's strikes on war jobs eliminated, further contro- versy is unlikely The sedition bill goes to conference tomorrow.
