BIG PLANT TO RESUME
Business Conditions Better Through
 out Columbus Section

Columbus, Miss August e1.--(Spe- ciai. Business conditions through out this entire section are again be- ginning to take on new fife. and one proof of this fact has been given out by T. F. Raworth, president of the Tombigbee Cotton mills in this city. stating that his big plant would on next Monday week, August 29, start to making cloth again. The reason for waiting until Monday week to resume the work is due to the fact that sufficient time Is to be given employees of other mills who expect to return here and a habit that is usually customary.
 One hundred and fifteen or more men and women will DC put to work. many of whom have been idle since March r. when the Tombisbee mill was forced to close down due to the fact that very little goods could be sold and prics wnt down so low that it meant a tremendous loss to con tinue operation. It was very much regretted that the mill had to close down when 1t did, but the manag CTS found that it was the best policy to pursue. M
 On Monday week the mill will start to making regular four and five yard goods. On next Thursday the wheels will be started in order to get every thing in shape and lim6ered up for good running order on the following Monday

FIFTH WEEK Of TARIFF HEARING
 ID START TODAY
Early Decision Expected on i, Question of Whether Taxes or Tariff Shall Have
 Preference
By Associated Press

Washington, August 21.--The Sem ate finance committee is scheduled to start tomorrow another week of hearings on the tariff bill, the fifth since 1t received the measure from the House
 The question of whether taxes or tariff shall have preference was ex- pected to be decided by the commit tee early this week Passage of the tax bill by the House yesterday prob ably will place it fin the hands of the Senate committee, after the us- ual routine, late tomorrow or Tues day, but according to the programme announced by Chairman Penrose it will be pigeon-holed until late In the week at least.
 Completion of hearings on the earthen ware and glassware sched- ule is planned in the first two days, after which the programme calls for consideration of the important metals section. The committee has stead fly dropped behind it's plan, however. and how far it will get during the coming week is problcmatical owing to the expected frequent roll calls and business in the Senate chamber. Mir. Penrose declared today that he expected to make up for lost time after the Senate goes on vacation by holding longer sessions of the com mittee and rushing testimony gem erally.
 Few members of the committee plan to leave the city, and the others are prepared to drive hard while their colleagues are resting. Should the tax bill be taken up first, as many members expect. every phase of the tariff will be dropped by the committee and it's experts, it was de- clared, until the revenue measure Is out of the way.

t. ]. P. LEADERS
 STILL HOPE FOR. RECESS WEDNESDAY.
Much Discussion of Threat to Hold Up Plan Unless Re-
 port on Anti-Beer Bill {, Is Adopted
By ASsociated pres.

Washington, August 21.-Repub- hcan leaders of the Senate and House still were hopeful tonight of recessing Wednesday. despite the mass of important legislation wait ing considera ton s
 Threats from some quarters to throw the entire programme out of gear unless the conference report on the anti-beer bill is adopted caused much discussion during the day. al though leaders predicted that any at- tempt to hold up the majority plan Tor a 30-day respite from A Ionr summer grind would not prevail.
 while the shipping board deficiency appropriation bill is the unfinished business of the Senate, it may be displaced should Senator Sterling in- sist upon calling up the beer leg islation.
 Representative Mondell of wyom- ing, the republican leader. outlined today the House programme for the three days remaining before the con tempiated holiday. Briefly, it pro- vides:
 House Programme
 Vote on the administrators rail- road funding bill, tomorrow or Tues cay; adoption of conference reports on the anti-beer bill and on the Cap per-Tincher bill regulating future trading i'll grain; action on the ship ping board appropriation with it's s200,000 amendment for expenses of the disarmament conference; exten- sion of the dye embargo and emer- sency tariff; imposition of taxes on war supplies sold to France and re- imported, and agricultural relief leg is'ation.
 Considering that 400 of the 4s5 members of the House voted last night on the tax bill, MT. Mondell de- clared there would be no difficulty in keeping quorum here during the next few days. While the Senate recess resolution fixed September 21 for the reassembling date, Mir. Mon- dell said he was confident the desire of the House to get back to work October or { would not encounter Senate objection.
 Would Delay Consideration
 While their bill will be taken up in the House tomorrow under a spe- cial rule giving it right of way, there is no disposition on the part of Sem ate leaders to consider it until the fall and indeed the assurance has been given members generally that it will go over. There will be no ac- tion prior to the recess on the federal road aid bill it was authoritativelX stated.
 Some of the conference reports in- cluded in Mir. Mondell's schedule have rot yet reached the conference stage, |. was pointed out. as the bills them selves have not yet been passed by the Senate. While the House leader was optimistic as to his ability to clean up the slate. some members doubted whether the Senate could perform it's requisite part by Wednes- day night.
 Senator Lodge, republican leader. has announced that Congress will not quit work until the agricultural re- lief measure Is in the hands of the Pr esident. He has given no intima- tion to the Senate as to whether he would insist upon final action on all the measures on the closing pro- gramrne of the House.

 Dublin, August 2I.-Nearly all the members of the Dail Eireann cabi- net met in session today for the pur- pose of making final arrangements for toinorrows secret session of the Parliament
 Harris J. Roland. representative of Ramon DeValera in the United States, was one of the callers on Mir. DeValera at Mansion house this aft ernoon.
 Ihe@eabinet meeting was a pro- ionged one, and this fact caused much speculation. Sunday meetings oi this character are unusual and because of its length the supposition was that those in conference were occupied with the arrangements for tomorrow,s private meeting of the Daii Eireann at which reply to Premier Lloyd Georges offer will be considered. It is not known how long the debate in the private ses- sion will last, since it is not known how many of the l30 members of the Dail desire to be heard
 Tuesday was fixed some time ago for meeting of the executive com mlttee of the Sim Fein organization representing the Sim Fein clubs throughout the, country Many lead ing deputies Of the Dail also are members of the executive. This or ganization is illegal and the govern ment's permission for the Dali to meet does not cover it. It is not expected, however, in the present circumstances, the government will interfere with the meeting. The pub lfcity department has not yet stated whether the Dal will adjourn over Tuesday or whether the executive committee will postpone it's meeting
 Shy of Politics
 It had been announced that MT. DeValera would attend the Gaelic festival at Rathfarnham this after neon but he was prevented from ccing so by his attendance on the cabinet meeting He arrived late in the evening, however, accompanied by Mrs. Roland and Miss Mary Mac Swiney, who had arrived here today from the United States, and Frank P Walsh. The party received a warm welcome. MT. DeValera made short address. He said he already had delivered a number of speeches and might have to deliver more; therefore, he would not refer to poli- tics.
 Today while the Dali Eireann cabinet was busy considering tho peace negotiations in Dublin. the people of the country were enjoying peaceful weekend A short trip through the country near Dublin found the festival at St. Edna's col lege at full sway and many excur- sion parties enjoying visits to the
