 Members of the committee investigat- h,g the steel strike may try to obtain Npaiimors consent for vote Friday, as they are anxious to proceed that night to the Pittsburg district to pursue the inquiry. With the number of speeches to be made this week leaders said they were unable to indicate whether vote could be taken that early.
 Senators Nelson, Minnesota, and France. Maryland, both republicans, have given notice that they will speak tomorrow. and while the former said he would not require more than half an hour. it was said Senator France might occupy the rest of the working time
 Senator Norris, republican of Nebras- ka, also will speak tomorrow if he has chance. and Senator Walsh, democrat of Massachusetts will speak Thursday Senator Lodge will speak this week, and there are still others to be heard.
 Some republican spokesmen said that regardless of the speeches they hoped, however, to dispose of the Shuntung amendments this week.
