Washington, Sept 21.-Congress
got back to work today with its
leaders determined to push its major
tasks to completion within sixty days.
While the house had little ahead
of it requiring immediate action, the
senate's calendar was crowded with
business.
President Harding was expected to
submit the treaty with Germany at
once. At the same time, the finance
committee was to report the 4,OOO,-
100000 tax bill. These two measures
appeared likely to claim the center
Of the senatorial stage for some
weeks to come.
In addition, the senate has the con-
ference report on the anti-beer bill
to dispose of. This is one of the most
warmly controvcrted measures ever
before congress, and there was no
sign of weakening by it's opponents.
They were ready to go ahead tying
up the bill indefinitely they said,
until their wishes are met.
Senator Borah's bill repeating tolls
on American coastwisc vessels pass
ing through the Panama canal was
the unfinished business before the
senate when it met. Borah's bill will
be voted on October 10. but it is
unlikely much of the interim will be
spent in debate upon it.
The railroad relief bill, already
passed by the house, and the allied
debt refunding bill were both on the
senate's calendar. An effort will be
made to get the railroad bill through
but the debt refunding measure has
been slctrackcd for the present.
The Interstate commerce commit
tee is scheduled to resume its cx-
haustivc investigation of the rail-
road situation at an early date. In
several weeks of investigation last
sDring, the committee heard the rail-
roads side Of tho question involved.
Labor is to be heard this fall.
The senate labor committe has
the West Viringia mine war on its
hands and will try to formulate some
settlement, after completing its in
vestigation Of Truman II. Newbcrry's
right to his seat rs n United States
senator from Will DS hiCu
with the senate, and at some time
before December an effort will be
made to bring up the question on the
floor. This will precipitate bitter
partisan fight.
A subcommittee is to continue an
investigation begun in the summer of
American intervention in Haiti and
Santo Domingo The COMMITTEE may
decide to visit the island republics.
A naval subcommittee will resume
its inquiry into the case of Captain
Chamberlain, whose aerial exploits
during the war resulted in his dis
missal from the naval service. Cham
borlain claims he was unjustly con-
victcd and dismissed, and is seeking
vindication.
Tn senate also has the tariff bill
but administration leaders did not
know just where it would fit into the
Legislative program. That will be
determined when the tax bill is out
of the way.
The house, meanwhile, may con-
slider the maternity bill which the
senate had passed. or may take up
soldier bonus bill. The allied loan
refunding measure also may come
In for some attention. A further
deficiency appropriation also is ex-
pected before long.
