Bipartisan InsurreCtion Forces
On Verge of Victory With
Demands for Passage Of
Laws to Lower Prices.
PROMISE TO UPSET PLANS
TO ADJOURN ON JUNE 5
Senator Kenyon Peeved Over
Effort to SidetraCk Bill
Governing PaCkers-Says
Time for Real Test at Hand.

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Washington, May 2l. - The BIZ
partisan insurrection in the senate
appeared to be on the verge of VIC
tory with its demands that congress
stay on the job this summer and pass
measures to relieve the high cost of
living.
Unless leaders regain the whip
hand the program side-tracking viz
tually all measures except appro-
priation bills and adjourn on Jane
5 will be badly upset.
The democratic insurgents won
the fight in their party caucus and
forced through a resolution declar-
ing it to be the sense of the demo-
cratic senators that congress remain
on the job until it passes measures
dealing with the high cost of living,
notably the Kendrick-Kenyon pack
er bill.
The caucus action was a virtual
reputation of an informal under
standing between Senator Under
wood, the democratic leader, and
Senator Lodge, the republican lead
er, to adjourn on June S,
Kendrick Takes Floor.
Following the caucus, Senator
Kendrick of Wyoming, democrat,
one of the co-authors of the packer
bill, took the floor in the senate and
declared that congress ought not to
be content with Attorney General
Palmer's dissolution decree. 1t was
all right as far as it went, Senator
Kendrick said, but it did not begin
to solve the packer problem.
Republican leaders deny there is
any jockeying going on to keep the
packer bill side tracked, but Sem
ator Kenyon of Iowa showed signs
of irritation when Senator Wads-
worth of New York moved to take
up the army appropriation bill the
moment the shipping bill was out of
the way.
Senator Kenyon promptly coup
ter-moved to take up the packer bH.
Time for Real Test.
MS same situation mas prevailed
now since February a." said Sena-
tor Kenyon. "One bill after another
comes in here and shuts out the
packer bill. The time has come for
US to have a real decisive test and
settle whether the packer bill is to
be considered at this session"
Senator Wadsworth said he was
willing to have the test. Senators
got ready to "go to bat" on the issue
when it was decided to postponed a
showdown until after the party con-
ference Saturday.
About IS republicans will vote for
the packer bill, and virtually all the
democrats will support it, accord
ing to its sponsors. This would give
ths measure a wide margin in the
senate.

HOUSE ACTION
ON BONUS BILL
IS POSTPONED
Republican Leaders Expect to
Get Measure Up for Vote
BY Tuesday or
Wednesday.

Washington, May 2l.-Republican
leaders of the house decided late
Friday not to attempt passage Sat
urday of the soldiers relief legisla-
ton. No date was fixed for calling
up the bill, but leaders said they
expected to get it before the house
Tuesday or Wednesday.
This decision was reached because
of, prospective coalition between
majority of the democrats and
minority of the republicans, the lat
ter opposing any cash bonus. The
combination planned either to defeat
the rule giving the bill the right Of
way for passage or amend the rule
and leave the bill open for amend
ment.
Before the republican leaders were
called together an informal demo-
cratic poll showed virtually solid
opposition to the republican pro-
gram. 1t was also disclosed that
the antibonus republicans numbered
90, and by combining with the demo-
Gratis might upset the republican con-
troll.
Anticipating action on the bill Sat
urday, both Chairman Fordney of
the ways and means committee and
Representative Henry T. Rainey,
ranking democratic member, filed
their reports on the measure late in
the day
Neither offered any direct argu-
ment for or against passage of the
bill. Mr.. Fordney declared the leg
islation could be financed only by
new taxes, without which he said
the measure would be "inexpedient
if not entirely useless"
Mr.. Rainey attacked the taxation
scheme, declaring it will consider
and calculated to hurry us ever
kearer financial Disaster He ad-
vocated war profits tax and said
that if permitted would endeavor
to include it in the bill.

HEAD IN SENATE
Republican Leaders Agree to
Take Up Resolution Call
inq for Income Tax Re-
turns Today.

Washington, May 2l.-Continued
outcry in the senate against profi-

there today when republican leaders
promised that the resolution of Sem
ator Harris, democrat, Georgia,
calling for corporation income and
excess profit tax returns would be
taken up tomorrow for action. With
certain amendments. Senator Lodge,

reason why it should not pass.
Senator Harris widened the scope

the records into the senate to in
clude 1918 and 1919 returns as we'll
as those of 1917.
Members of the senate" he said,
stand on the floor denouncing prof
iteers. Here's a simple resolution
that only seeks to name them, which
has been waiting six months"
The house also saw legislative
guns trained on the profiteer. Rep
resentative King, republican, Illinois,
introduced bill to prohibit federal
reserve banks renewing loans on or

during the day, urging steps to

mouth policy" practiced during the

What the English themselves think
