EXPECT SESSION
EARLY In MAY
Although Wilson Has Given
No Intimation of His
Intention
SEC. GLASS IS SAID
TO HAVE URGED NEED
Cabinet Officers Believe Ex-
ira Session Will Be-
gin in May

Washington, d. c., March lS.--An ex-
ira session Of Congress before June | is
believed to be a certainty by many gov
ernment officials and members of Con-
gress, although their predictions are
without the support of evidence to show
that President Wilson has changed his
determination not to summon Congress
before his return from France.
Cabinet officers believe the session will
begin in May, 'some expecting the date
to be about the middle of the month,
with Others suggesting an earlier date,
probably May 4. As far as known none
of the cabinet members has specifically
recommended any date to the president,
but Secretary Glass is understood to
have presented certain facts in regard
to the governments financial situation,
from which the president may make his
own decisions.
Members Of Congress remaining in
Washington, particularly the Republi-
cans, hope the session will be called two
months before the end of the current fs-
cal year, next June 30,-So that ample op-
portunity will be given for considering
appropriation bills that failed at the last
Congress. Republican Leader Lodge of
the Senate has sent letters to all Re
publican senators requesting them to re-
cord their address Of May Is with his
Office, but this was said to be without
significance.
While House ofiei.ls said to-day if re-
ports from Paris that the peace treaty
might be completed next week proved
accurate, President Wilson might return
home by the middle of April.

sion of an address before the Irish Eel
lowship club annual celebration here last

and an expression of hope for "the com
ing of a new day and that hour when it
is recorded that Ireland is free"
"The people of Massachusetts," he
said, "have sent man to the United
States Senate to speak therein for the
freedom Of the Irish people. The Irish
have never been conquered race and
never will become one"
Referring to the effort Of England to
conquer the Irish people," Senator
Walsh said the English government "at
last resorted to the most deadly method
of all to exterminate and annihilate the
people-legislation"

ATTEMPT TO RECONCILE
ALL THE ALLIED VIEWS
President Wilson and Premiers, Lloyd
George, Orlando and Clemenceau
Went Into Conference on 1t
To-day.

Paris, March Is (By the Associated
Press President Wilson will hold an
important conference with Premiers
Lloyd George Orlando and Clemenceau
at the Paris white House" to-day. This
gathering of premiers, representing the
supreme directing force of the peace con-
ference, takes the place of the session of
the supreme council, which has been
postponed until tomorrow to permit the
meeting.
The question to be discussed is that Of
securing accord between the great pow
ers on all phases of the peace treaty and
its early presentation to the Germans. It
is expected an agreement will be reached
as to the inclusion of the league of ma
tions as an integral part of the peace
treaty, in accordance with the resolution
which has been already adopted by the
peace conference.
Special interest attaches to to-day's
conference in view of recent reports of
divergences between the powers as to
the inclusion OF the league plan in the
treaty. The meeting is looked upon as
an earnest decisive effort to- reconcile
all views into common understanding
for an early conclusion Of peace in a
comprehensive form, including military,
naval, economic and financial terms, as
well as the league of nations,
The general situation as to the peace
treaty has been greatly clarified during
the past "a hours by discussions between
the heads of various delegations, and
American commissioners take the view
that the attitude of the Italian, French
and British governments are in entire
accord. The conferences which have
been held by Lord Robert Cecil of Great
Britain, Leon Bourgeois of France, and
Colonel House of the United States have
reached tentative accord, and there is
reason to believe that o.day's meeting
will approve the action thus taken.
Present plans contemplate the compile
tion of hearings given neutral nations on
the league Of nations during the recent
week, and during the succeeding week
attention will be given to boundaries,
reparation and other branches of the
treaty. 1t is believed that the revised
league covenant will be ready for adop-
tion at the end of next week.

TROOPSHIPS DELAYED
Because of Demands Made By Boat
Workers.

New York, March lS.--Marine work
ers on strike here threatened to-day to
withdraw crews from all boats operated
by the army and navy. unless union
crews on chartered tugs and barges are
paid the same wage scale as is paid by
the railroad administration. The crews
of IA tugs chartered to coal troopships
walked out yesterday when they learned
they were to be paid at the old scale
and not the increased wages under the
agreement recently made between the
unions and the railroad administration,
the army and navy and the shipping
board
The sailing schedules of the Adriatic
and other troopships are expected to be
delayed from two days to two weeks by
this new tie-up in the harbor situation.
Further complications are looked for
when the unions take up complaints to-
day that a 'secret pact" exists between
the railroad administration and private
boat owners. The controversy between
the unions and the private boat owners
was apparently far from solution o-day,
the union leaders demanding an eight
hour day as basis of settlement and
the owners emphatically refusing to CON
Cede it.

PUTS SHOE RISE ON PUBLIC. Witness in Boston Says HOarding Is
 One Cause of Advance.

Boston, Aug. 12.-Henry B. Endi- colt and Richard II. Long, shoe man. ufacturers, and two representatives of local retail shoe stores, testified yes- terday at a grand jury investigation of the causes of the high prices of shoes, begun by District Attorney Pel- letter. Other shoe men will be heard today.
 The district attorneys office said that one witness asserted that the cost of labor and materials, poor transportation. and undue buying by the public had all combined to create the present situation. The only spec ulation going on in the shoe market, 1t was declared, was by the consum- CTS. Many persons, the witness said, appeared to be buying shoes in an- ticipation of an advance in prices, thus tending to force prices up.
 Elimination of the jobber as a means of reducing costs was imprac- ticable, in the opinion of another wit ness, because, he said, many retailers had not the capital to keep a big stock and must have recourse to the jObber.
