Wilson VIII Act

Wilson VIII Act
Washington, March 6.-There is
still a lurking hope among some MEM
bers of congress still in Washington
that the extra session may yet be
called before the presidents return.
they said today.

based it on what they called the fran
tic state of mind of railroad men left
in the lurch by the senates failure
to provide the $3.50, 100000 badly
needed by the railroad administra-
ton They said the strongest pres
sure will be brought to bear upon the
president from this source to get con-
gross back at work,
Extra Session Before May.
The president. however, is counting
on returning to the United States with
the peace treaty sooner than he had
expected and 1t is believed unlikely by
Democratic leaders here that he will
call an extra session before May.
Meantime. after a bitter fight. the
conference of governors and mayors
here is on record today against any
move to demand an extra session OF
congress.
Mayor Rolph, San Francisco. ex-
charged heated words with Governor
Cox Ohio. when the formers resolu-
ton demanding that President Wilson
call an extra session to pass upon bills
was reported unfavorably by the com
mittee on resolutions of which Cox
was chairman.

the vessel ana apologize for the at
