PRESIDENT AND SENATORS MAY
 MEET IN CLASH
BY COL. WINFIELD JONES

I W WAoI1lNH1oIN, June 4.-(SpeClal Correspondence). - President Hard ings announcement of Hess govern ment in business" is expected to meet opposition in congress, par ticularly in the senate, and may even lead to clash between certain sen- ators and the White House.
 There are two schools of thought in congress regarding regulation of business, especially in the senate. One is led by men like Penrose, Shoot and Lodge, who believe that the less regulation for business the better. The less legislative interfer- ence with business the better it will be for business and consequently for the prosperity of the country, they believe. President Harding leans to- ward this school, though he would of course have business so controlled that it would not result in monopoly or oppression of the public in any way.
 The other school is led by men like Hiram Johnson, Borah, Lafollette and Lenroot who believe that busi- ness should be closely watched by congress, and while these men, too, would not interefere with honest and legitimate business they favor a num- Der of laws that business says are not needed, and which if enforced, business claims, would be bad for all commercial enterprises.
 The two schools may be termed the conservative and the progressive, though it must be acknowledged that some of the latter are really more radical than progressive.
 In view of the presidents pro- nouncement of Hess government in business" there is some speculation in Washington as to what stand MT Harding will take if bills planned to hamper business (according to the claims of big business men) are en- acted into laws and sent to him for approval. MT. Harding has not yet had time to exercise the veto power invested in him by the constitution, but those who know him we'll do not doubt he will use the veto as freely as MT. Wilson, and even more so if he believes that this power should be used
 The first test probably will come over the meat packers bill. The senate committee on agriculture will soon resubmit this measure to the senate and 1t is reported there is every prospect of it's passage. The house, too, it is reported, favors by a large majority the packers bill This measure in all probability, there- fore, will be enacted into law at this session, or at any rate during this congress.
 The same committee also plans to favorably report the Capper-Tincher Dill, to prevent gambling on the grain exchanges. The senate is said to favor this bill by small ma jority. The house is reported to be for it by good-sized majority.
 The packer bill was passed by the senate at the last congress but was sidetracked iu the house by parlia- mentary maneuvering.
 Still another bill, the Calder meas ure for regulation of the coal indus try, is pending and will be fought over vigorously in senate and house. This measure was favorably reported at the last congress by the senate committee on manufacturers.
 The packs bill, the Capper-Tincher measure. and the Calder bill all in- d1cate that many members of con- gress are bent on regulating big bus mess.
 It is reported that all three meas ures have good prospects of passage during this congress. It will then be up to the President to approve or veto the measure. It is believed by many congressman that he will approve them unless there is some. thing in the bills that is drastically hostile to the meat, grain and coal Industries. In such event it is prob. able that the President would veto the bills and send them back to con. gross, where the test would then come on the Presidents veto. Con. gress often overrode vetoes of Presi- dent Wilson but just as often failed to override them. In vote on the veto on these bills the country would be able to discover in house and senate who is l il1Cf 1oti l,i
