CONGRESS
IN TANCLE
ON I ARIFF
Fate Of Other Important
Legislation Is Very
Uncertain.

Washington, June 25.-(United
Press. THE legislative record of
the special session Of congress is in
now in the balance, congressman
admitted today. The fate of many
pieces Of important legislation is
and unless change Of
occurs more wrangling
and new delays will develop.
Dispute Between Houses.
The special session was called for
the main purpose of declaring peace
with Germany and of revising the
revenue and tariff laws. Although
the permanent tariff bill probably
will be completed by the house ways
and means committee next week
there is a growing demand in the
senate that this measure be shunted
and the new taxes passed through
congress. This, however, is caus-
ing a serious dispute between the
two houses.
II am unalterably opposed to this
plan," Chairman Fordney OF the
house ways and means committee
said today. Nearly three months
have been devoted to the framing
of the tariff bill and it would be q
big mistake to cast it aside now.
feel sure. such action will not be
taken"
Heat May Bring Recess.
It is generally admitted that thu
tariff bill will not reach the senate
before august /. The chairman
Penrose, Pennsylvania, proposes t
consider it in the finance commit
tee for the two months, he ha!
stated. Much greater speed viii
have to be shown if it is enacted be
fore the. close OF special session
Headers admit The house will no
consider a revenue bill until afte
the tariff is passed and with contin
ued hot weather the demand for
recess is growing. 1t is probabl
that the house would adjourn dur
ing August while the new resenu
bill is being framed, Republican
Leader Mondell said today.
Peace Bill Coming Up.
Final argument may come mex
week on three important measure
which have been in dispute TO
many weeks. These are the peac
resolution and the army and nav
appropriation bills. With the re
turn of Senator Lodge from Hal
ward commencement exercises, COZ
ferences on the peace measure wi
Ibe resumed. The army bill prot
ably will be signed by the presldeI
and an agreement on the naval 6l
is expected with the house agreeln

Especial to The Argus.)


Washington, June 25.-President
Harding revealed to the western
bankers who gathered at the White
house a significant impatience with
those railroad executives who have
neglected to come to Washington
and straighten out the large claims
which they have against the gov
ernment as a result Of war opera
tions OF the roads.
Bankers Discuss Problem.
While the first conference with
the eastern bankers covered the
subject of foreign trade and the
handling of foreign loans, the sec
ond session at which bankers from
the west we're invited found itself
soon concentrated on the railroad
problem. Mr.. Harding asked for
views on the business situation
throughout the country and sought
direct information as to methods
Of alleviating the present depres-
sion. At practically every turn the
railroad question thrust itself for
ward. It was brought out clearly
for instance that many factories
and mills were shut down because
the purchasing power Of the rail.
roads had been diminished. So the
query naturally suggested itself as
to how the railroads could increase
their purchases and q great many
of the bankers present seemed Il

ACT UNDER
COURT FIRE.
]. Hamilton Lewis Files
Suit to Recover $780,
600 Worth Liquor.

Chicago, June 25.-A new attack
upon the present construction OF
the 18th amendment and the Vol
stead law was filed today in the
United States district court by for
mer United States Senator J. Ham
ilton Lewis, to recover whisky
valued at $500.ooO. stored in Chi
tago warehouses.
Distillers Are Plaintiffs.
The plaintiffs are distillers and
merchant owners. of bonded
whisky, while the government. the
United tSates internal revenue
collector, prohibition director. At
.torney-General Brundage and the
United States internal revenue
defendants.
The new assault does not attack
the amendment of the Volstead act
as invalid, but the plaintiffs claim
no provision of either measure can
apply to whisky deposited in gov
ernment warehouses by the direc-
tion of the government before
either measure was passed, where
the goods are now owned by the
same owners who deposited the
luiuor on a contract to have it re-
turned when the government ta1
was paid.
New Point Raised.
The principal new point raised Is
the claim of the complainants that
the provision of the constitution
i against manufacture referred tc
manufacture after, and not before
passage Of the amendment; thai
| the provision of the amendment
against use of liquors for bever
j age refers to the particular set o.
spirits allowed by law to be uset
for medicinal, mechanical and in
dustrial purposes. and that the Vol
stead acts provisions apply only t.
those who would attempt to use al
q beverage the spirits permitted t.
be Manufactured for medicinal
mechanical and industrial pur
poses.
1 Not for Beverage Use.
"The complainants. who stat
they do not desire the use Of tn
goods for beverage purposes, asl
for a mandatory injunction, com
pelling the collector to order gov
ernment warehouses to deliver tn
property to the holders of the cer
tificates and enjoining national an
state officers from interference aft
er the owners have taken possess
. sion"
Mr.. Lewis said. there was no d.
sire to have the prohibition law d.
clared invalid, but merely apple
according to its meaning. whic
would avoid confscation Of prof.
erty.
