What Congress Is Doing
The Senate.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

Having finally determined upon
definite legislative program for
the next few weeks, the Senate Is
now bending every energy to put
through the measures on the list
and get away for a midsummer
rest about August 10. II possi-
bic the recess will extend until
the Senate finance committee has
whipped into shape the tax revi-
sion bill. which Is expected to
reach the Senate from the House
somewhere between the middle of
August and September 1. The
original plan was to stay In r.
cess until the finance committee
had completed consideration of
the tariff bill and was ready to
report it. But the desire Of the
administration to put through the
tax revision measure without fur
ther delay, which comedies with
the wishes Of many OF the sena-
tors, may result in the tax bill be-
ing given the right Of way.
The Legislative program, as it
now stands. includes the passage
of the bill now pending. to aid
farmers finance exports Of their
surplus crops, the Capper anti
grain gambling bill and the Vol.
BILE that an effort will be made to
have the Borah bill for the free
passage of the Panama canal by
American coastwise vessels con-
sidered before the recess. but those
favorinG the recess plan will seek
to have this measure postponed.
The Senate finance committee is
continuing its hearings on the tar
iff bill as expeditiously as possi-,
BILE. This committee has reported
favorably to the Senate the admin
istration bill authorizing the Sec
retary Of. the Treasury to refund
the loans of the United States to the
allied nations. amounting to some
$10.000.000.00 with interest due
totaling another billion dollars. 1t
is believed, however. that thiss bill
will be allowed to wait until after
the recess.
The Presidents message to Con-
gress last week on the railroads.
proposing a method of aiding the
roads in their financial difficulties
was generally approved by the
senator's. and it Is expected that
a railroad bill also will be put
tnIOuSn, out aIter Cne recess.
Conferees Of the two houses are
putting the. finishing touches upon
the so-called packer bill and the
Sweet bill to coordinate agencies
dealing with the veterans of the
world war.
With the report Of Secretary
Weeks OF the War Department in
hand showing that the United
States now has approximately
$4,000 soldiers in Germany. cost
ing about a million dollars
month. it Is expected that a de-
mand will be launched soon by
senators to bring these troops back
to the United States. Germany Is
to pay the BILL for the maintenance
of the troops in her territory, un-
der the armistice agreement.
The Senate has put through the
Mccormick resolution for an in
vestigation Of conditions in Haiti
and San Domingo. and a commit
tee will soon begin hearings.
Senator Ball. chairman of the
District committee. is doing his
best to get a day in the Senate for
consideration of the bill to extend
the life of the Ball rent act until
May %. 1922. He feels that some
thing must be done about this bill
before the recess is taken II 1t is
to become a law.

PUSHCART MEN PLANNING STRIKE
LNPROTEST AGAINST POLICE RULES

Baltimore and other large cities.
In his letter to the Commission
ers Mr.. Scalco said a majority Of
the venders are afraid to venture
on the streets lest they be arrested
and fined again. One dealer who
has a large family to support, he
stated. earned Sc last week, but
was fined 81.
"Just why the fruit vendors
should be antagonized is not quite
clear" said Scalco, when we stop
to think that they buy large
quantities of fruit and can bring it
to the door of the poor people and
offer it for sale at almost SO per
cent under the price a retail store
would charge"
Five pushcart merchants were ar
rested by police of the first precinct
yesterday afternoon for alleged OBJ
struction of the streets in the bust
ness section. Four of them, Greeks
registered as John Gavitsinos, Johr
Kostakus. Nick Fantis and George
Kaukas. The fifth was colored mar
named Nixon Austin. Each defendant

Pushcart dealers will stage q
unique strike in Washington to-
morrow. II plans made yesterday
materialize. by which they hope to
impress the public with alleged in
Justices done them by the District
police regulations.
There are about 200 Of these
venders In the capital. whose COM
plant is that they are arrested
when they park their carts on the
streets. During the hot weather
of the past few weeks the street
fruit merchants have shown little
inclination to keep moving. and the
police. 1t Is stated, have been active
in making arrests.
The venders have appealed to
the District Commissioners for re-
lief. Through Salvatore Scalco
they have asked the District heads
to establish q parking space for
pushcarts which would serve as
a sort of street market. This plan.
it is said. is in effect in New York.

PARIS, France, July 3o.-The opin-
ion Is growing in allied diplomatic
circles that Ambassador Harvey, as
President Harding's representative,
will be able, without in any respect
involving the United States in Euro
pean politics. to exert a salutary me-
diative influence in the forthcoming
meeting of the supreme council. This
meeting will deal with two extreme
ly difficult questions:
That of removing or maintaining
the allied occupation of the Ruhr
river ports and the special Rhineland
customs frontier. and that of dividing
Silesia between Poland and Germany.
On 10th questions France and Brit
two the latter is by far the more i'm
portant Britain believes that Ger
many's speedy economic recovery Is
Inevitable and even desirable, and
would try to avert any possible dan
ger Of renewed aggression involved
IL
operate with Germany and by avoid
ing irritating that country unduly.
Again, Britain does not believe in
large and strong Poland, mainly be-
cause she fears that such a Poland
would inevitably draw Germany and
Russia into an alliance against her
self, with detrimental political and
economic effects.
France Sees More Dangers.
France. on the other hand, while
she thinks Germans recovery in
evitable, thanks to her equipment and
her trained and disciplined popula-
tion, fears that this recovery will be
merely a prelude to renewed efforts
grave danger to France.
France also desires to see Poland a
large and strong state, believing that
forty or fifty years may elapse be-
fore Russia RECEIVERS her old strength,
and wishes in the meanwhile to util-
ize Poland as q counterpoise to Cor
manic ambitions In the far east.
In these circumstances the only pos
sible solution IL compromise. In
other words, Upper Silesia will have
to be divided by taking, into account
the results of the pie biscite and eco
nomic and geographical considera.
tions as provided in the treaty Of
Versailles.
The chances are that when. the su-
preme council reconvenes France and

PRINCESSES ARE
SET At WORK

When the American relief commits
sion reached Moscow recently and set
about the big task of organizing a sys-
tenn of food distribution, it was be-
seiged by veritable multitude of
young women asking for clerical po-
sitions. A large percentage of Their
were found to be girls of noble birth
under the government of the ear;
many of them being countesses, or
even princesses, who had been reduc--
ed by the red revolution to poverty and
want.
Though they asked for work, it soon
appeared that what they were really
looking for was American husbands
who might bring their hardships te
an end. They were disappointed in this
hope and required to get down to work
instead. To their credit it can be said
that they faced the ordeal without
f1inching and are giving the best ser
vice of which they are capable, though
officials in charge insist that their eff
cheney is very small indeed when COM
pared with that of American girls.

WOMAN SPLACE
NOT CLEAR

There are two influential women in
Washington who disagree sharply as
to a question which is of vital interest
to other women everywhere. They are
Miss Elsie Hill, chairman of the ma
tional women's party and Miss Alice
Robertson, representative from Okla
Loma.
Miss Hill, as her office indicates, adj
vocates the organization of the Wo-
men of America, based merely or main
ly upon their sex. She holds that wo-
wen should stand and fight together
for the things that they desire
Miss Robertson believes that wo-
men should not consider themselves
as class apart and organize to accom-
plish their own purposes regardless of
the interests of others.
So far Miss Robertson seems to have
the better of the argument There are
too many classes and factions already
in America, trying to serve their own
selfish interests without regard for the
the interests of their fellow citizens.
Ii the women are merely to become
another contending group, several mil
lion strong, then it is hard to see how
their new citizenship is to prove much
of benefit to our democracy.

P RE SIDENT
HELPSUS 7OSEE

The president is evidently taking a
view of the liquor question quite diff
ferent from that of the people who in
sist that, so far from being wiped out.
the traffic is going on about as usual
At any rate, he recently authorized the
statement below as representing his
personal views:
In another generation I believe that
liquor will have disappeared, not
merely from out politics, but from
our memories"
The truth appears to be that we are
too close to the great struggle, whose
purpose is the stamping out of the
curse of strong drink, to know wheth-
er it is winning or losing. Many have
lost heart and derided that the attempt
might as well be given up As the
president sees it, they are mistaken;
and the battle is actually being won
in the most decisive manner.
