he URGES ACTION
President Will Ask Congress
Not To Adjourn Now.
Feels His Legislation Hasn't
Received Proper Attention.

Washington, Oct. 14.-President
Wilson may ask congress not to adj
journ without first acting on legisla-
ton he has recommended in various
messages, it was learned at the White
House today.
While there is no definite proposal
of adjournment before congress, there
is taak of the house recessing. If con-
gress should adjourn it would auto
matically return to work early in De-
cember when the regular sessi on
opens.
The president. it was said, believes
action he requested has not received
proper attention. He has recon-
mended among other things cold stor-
age regulation to bring down food
prices and has asked an appropriation
for the campaign against profiteers.
If measures advocated by the pres
ident are passed by congress he will
give them prompt attention at the
White House, it was stated.
HE will show them he is perfect
ly able to act" it was said.
Administration leaders, It was
learned. are considering the advisable
ity of issuing a statement to refute re-
ports that Wilson's condition is such
as to prevent him from ever again
discharging the duties of his office.

the various plans for the future opera
ton of the railroads, Mr.. Aitchison
said there must be a far greater de-
gree of unification and utilization of
facilities. terminals and equipments
than ever before and that future rail-
way construction should be limited to
that which is necessary and conyen-
lent for governmental purposes and
the public. Provision for the efficient
utilization of equipment after private
operation is resumed is important.
National Regulation Body.
AS 9 necessary means of preventing
wasteful competition, the speaker rec
commended a national regulating body
which would have power TO prescribe
the minimum rate as well as the
maximum.
Regarding the labor situation, the
speaker declared that legislation must
be provided to insure a speedy and
adequate means of enforcing the just
demands of employees but that at the
same time the country is entitled to
protection against the irretrieya bl
damage, which must follow if either
party to the dispute insists upon be
ing the final judge of the justice of
its own cause and stops the wheel of
commerce.

DANCER IS Crave
Senator POindexter Sees Real
Menace of Revolution.
He Says United States Govern
ment May Fall.

Washington. Oct. 1.-THE United
States government is in grave danger
from the movement of international
revolutionists and it may fall unless
vigorous measures of defense are TAX
en- now" Senator Poindexter. Wash
ington, declared in the senate today.
There are revolutionary interests
in this country" Poindexter said. land
their object is the overthrow of the
government and the seizure of private
property. There is no doubt of the ex-
istence of that condition.
But the time has come when it
behooves the government to suppress
anarchy and defend itself if it is to
maintain its full powers. The effects
of international revolutionary propa-
ganda are ady5manifest in America
and the time has come for the govern
ment to act and act vigorously else
the government may fall. Govern
ment that cannot function must al
ways fall"
Following Poindexter's speech, the
senate considered his resolution call
ing on the attorney general for a
statement as to his policy in handling
Bolshevists, I. W. W. agitators and
anarchists, but delayed action until
tomorrow.
