WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Enactment
of the pending bills for federal regula-

will be vigo tously opposed by the cham
her of commerce of the United States.
Joseph H. Defrees, president of the or
ganization, in announcing the opening OF
the fight, decared- that the coal and
packer bills would Substitute govern
ment for private control OF two of the
great basic industries of the country"
President Defrees also announced that
the chamber would line up it 1,400 mem

firms, corporations and individuals as a
means of making it's fight effective on
national basis. He said copies of a
brief prepared by the chamber to point
out the dangers contained in the two
bills" would be sent to members of
congress tomorrow together with per-
sonal letter asking careful considera-
tion of arguments advanced against the
measures" The brief calls attention to
the provision in the livestock bin for
voluntary registration of packers and
adds that the effect of the provision
would be to force registration and later
give the government control of the oper-
alton of the industry.
Referring to the coal bill, the brief
points out that the president under
certain supposed contingencies is en-
powered to fix prices and commissions
and to deal in coal control, the produc-
tion movement and distribution of coal

CONGRESS FACES
BUSY SIX DAYS.
First Act Will Be Completion of
Passage of Army Bill
Over Veto.
TARIFF BILL MAY PASS
Several Important Appropriation
Measures Will Also Be
Taken Up.
(sy Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Congress
will start another busy week tomorrow
by completing adoption over the presi-
dents veto OF the joint resolution direct
ing the cessation of enlistments until
the army is reduced to IT'S, 900 men, ac-
cording to all indications tonight. The
resolution, which was readopted by the
house yesterday 271 to 16 within six
hours after the presidents veto had been
announced viii come up tomorrow in
the senate. There appeared little doubt
tonight but that the senate would dupl-
cate the action of the house.
Only 21 working days remain for this
session of congress and both the house
and the senate are expected this week
to begin early morning and night ses-
sions. The Fordney emergency tariff
bill now before the senate is the key
log of the congressional jam which
threatens extinction not only of much
important legislation but of several reg
ular appropriation bills. Passage of the
tariff bill this week was the aim of re-
republican senate leaders, who then
plan to put their shoulders behind a
cleanup program of appropriation meas
ures.
Among important legislation caught in
the jam with predictions of extinction
are the packer regulation bill, the sol
diers' bonus measure, the Calder coal
regulation bill, the measure for reap
portionment of the house and proposals
for disarmament agreements. Only one
of the 16 regular supply bills has passed
the senate. six are waiting considera-
tion and others are in senate commit
tees or awaiting action in the house.
The latter expects this week TO pass the
last four appropriation measures, the
huge army and navy budgets, the forti-
fcations measure and the deficiency bill.

inhabitants sought refuse in their cell
lars while persons in the street were
stampeded by the fire. What had
happened was that three bombs were
flung at a lorry filled with soldiers.

which lasted several minutes without
