/. pected Before Adjourn.
ment-Senate Committee
To Continue Work.

Washington, Aug. 9.-Congress, in
the light of today's developments,
hopes to begin months recess
about the end OF next week.
After a conference with President
Harding, republican leaders of the
senate and house indicated that both

sion until the house has passed the
tax revision bill which Chairman

committee told the president would
be reported Monday.
In that event, Representative Mon
deli OF Wyoming, the republican
leader, announced that it could be
put through the house by August
20, or possibly a day or two later.
The president, at a conference with
Senators Lodge and Curtis, is un-
derstood to have opposed senate
recess before passage of the tax
measure by the house and t,
urged by many senator's for three
day recesses beginning Monday is
said to have been abandoned.
very soon after the passage of
the tax bill by the house, said Mr..
Mondell, Il believe we can recess
for at least 80 days while the senate
finance committee is working on the
tax and tariff bills. This will be
expediting the public business, for
in that way the finance committee
can work unintcrruptedly and make
greater headway."
Complete enactment OF the farm
ers' relief program prior to the pro-
posed adjournment, passage by the
house of the tax revision bill and
Of a measure to extend the emer-
gcncy tariff bill until the permanent
measure is enacted were said TO have
been insisted upon by the president
in his conferences. He also was
said to have expressed the desire for
passage of the administration bill to
Iund the railroads debts to the gov
ernment, but was represented as re-
luctantly willing to let the railroad
legislation go over until after the
recess, if assurances were given of
It's enactment by early fall.
