TO CURB BROTHERS

The retention of the Lever act was explained by Representative Walsh, republican. Massachusetts, in charge of the repeal legislation. as necessary to give the government an effective law for curhing profiteering in neces- stiles, including food and fuel. He added that the trading with the enemy act should be continued to regulats trade with Germany
 Representative Igoe democrat Mis- souri, however, questioned the repub- licans decision to continue the Lever act, asserting that certain interests" desire to keep the law in effect be- cause it had proved reflective anti strike legislation." He vainly sought to have the act included among those repealed. but was defeated through parliamentary tactics
 The text of the repeal resolution follows:

Washington. June S.--The resolution to end the present session of Congress Saturday, already approved by the House was adopted in the Senate to- day after democratic senators had given assurances that President Will son had no present intention of call- ing an extra session during the sum- mer.
 Republican and democratic leaders joined forces in bringing the resolu- tion to passage, but a score of sena- tors, thirteen of them republicans and seven of them democrats, made a wig orous fight to attach an amendment by which Congress would reassemble after the national political conven- tions.
 On the final roll call the vote was A to "A, twenty four democrats and twenty republicans voting for the res- oiution and nine democrats and fifteen republicans voting against it.
 NO EXTRA SESSION
 Announcement of the Presidents po- sition, which had been the cause of much disquietude during the framing of adjournment plans was made from the Senate floor by Senator Under wood of Alabama, the administration leader. Tie Salu ne ndd been author ized by Secretary Humility to say that MT. Wilson would not call Congress back into session unless grave emergency arises.
 The announcement was contrary to the expectations of many of the repub- lican senators. and some of the lead CTS on that side still believed tonight Sentaor Underwoods statement left enough leeway for a special session call should the President decide it to be advisable after the conventions There was no debate on the floor, how ever. regarding the Presidents atti- tude
 Pleading with their party leaders for recess instead of an adjournment the twenty insurgent republicans and democrats declared Congress had no moral right to desert it's post for the Vaccinations of summer resorts or the lure of politics.

WOOD VICTORY

The decision in the Florida case was a Wood victory in the sense that it keeps six votes for the general on the roll when his candidacy was threatened with the loss of all votes from the state. Out of a mess of legal techni- calities the committee came to the con ciusion that in a strict legal sense neither the delegates at large of the sO-called Gerow faction, headed by Ma
 tional Committeeman Bean, which are counted in the Wood column, nor the delegates at large headed by II. l.. An derson of Jacksonville, which are counted for Senator Johnson, ought to
 be seated. | was confronted, how
 ever. with practically abolishing the
 republican party in Florida if it de- cl:ned to seat somebody. National Committeeman Street of Alabama led
 the right for seating the whole Gerow Colorado, fathered a move to seat neither. MT Warren of Michigan, however, presented the compromise by which both sets of delegates at large of the t.Gerow and Anderson faftions were ordered seated with a half vote each. The contest against the four
 Gerew Sdistrict delegates collapsed at Sthe last moment alG they were ordered fseated. The resulI gave national com
 nlitteeman Bean six votes out Of eight in the state delegation and semed to forecast his re election to the national committee.

1924 CONVENTIONS ID BE HELD WHERE
 RACE NO BARRIER
Contests From Florida Are Settled By Splitting Deci- siOn-Is Victory for
 Wood
By Associated Press

Chicago. June S.-Beside settling the delegation contests from Florida by splitting the decision, the republican national committee today took what many members construed to be one of the most important actions of years respecting the party's vote in southern states.
 Aroused by the number of dele-
 gate contests in which evidence
 was brought that district conven-
 tions had been held in places where
 negroes were excluded by custom
 or practice, the committee by unani-
 nous resolution gave motive that
 conventions for the selection of deI-
 egates in 1924 must be held in
 places where race was no barrier
 to participation.
 A resolution to that effect offered by Charles B. Warren. national commit- teeman from Michigan, aroused lively discussion and some hot retorts from the southern committee members be- cause in its language originally re- ferred to the southern states specifi- cally. When amended to refer to all states alike, however, it found no 'op- position and the southern committee- men voted for if
