SIX DAYS OF TALK
 0N FORDNEY BILL
 AHEAD 0F HOUSE
Only One Vote Certain to Break Monotony of Free- for-AI| 0ratory During
 the Coming Week
By Associated Press

Washington, July 1o.--Six days of talk confront the House as it starts tomorrow on it's second week of con sderation of the Fordney tariff bill. More than 40 members are slated to expound the doctrines of their re- spective political faiths and the Con gressional Record is expected to swell materially in pages.
 only one vote is certain to break the monotony of the free-for-all ora- tory of the first four days. The spe- cial rule, sought by the ways and means committee to control proce- dure in handling the measure through the House, will come up for a vote Tuesday, Chairman Campbell of the rules committee announced tonight.
 Other votes may be reached Friday or Saturday, but the limitation of five minutes on speeches beginning Friday does not augur an early vote on any amendments that may be offered, ac- cording to leaders, who are agreed that there is much more talk stored up in the House than can be crowded in the four days during which flood gates of oratory will be allowed to remain open. oppressive neat thus far has not cut down the length of speeches and there was no indication tonight that high temperatures would reduce the flow of words to which the House must look forward in the com ing week.
 Basis For Argument
 The speeches of Chairman Fordney of the ways and means committee and Representative Gardner of Texas, the ranking democrat on the committee, laid the basis for the argument that is to come. Other members of the committee will speak during the week, the republicans to explain and amplify the bills provisions and the democrats to attack them
 Adoption of the special rule which permits amendments to and separate votes onNfive paragraphs in the bill-- dyes, cotton. hides, oils and asphalt is assured by virtue of the heavy re- publican majority in the House. The democrats, however, will not let the roll call be taken without making use of the time to assail the repub- lican attitude. according to Repre- sentative Garrett of Tennessee acting democratic leader.
 The rule will automa tically end general debate next Thursday night. and will bring the bill to vote at 5 o'clock Thursday, July 21 There was some discussion among members that more time should be allowed for un- limited discussion. but the proposal has not found much sRpport among the wheel horses who are guiding the destinies of the measure in the House.

 According to Knox, O'Shaughnessy and Lacey denied to him that they knew anything about the raid and that they had not ordered it.

admiral points out it depends upon it also for naval protection as well as merchant shipping. This country and the admiral fully appreciate the i'm portance of merchant marine. No better illustration could be desired than the experience we had in the receat war because of the lack of one.
 What Admiral Sims said and what he was credited with saying are de- cidedly different. His attitude is that while we need merchant marine it would be very difficult for our country to develop merchant marine cornmen- surate with our needs under the restrdc- lions Of cur present shipping laws.
 That is the sentiment that has been expressed by many others who realize the handicap that comes from the law under which a merchant marine must be established and operated. That is why there is a demand for the enforce ment of the merchant marine act SC that the operation of the law will dis close the detrimental features and brins about their elimination.

RELIEVING CONGESTION.

Difficulties connected with the recep- tion of immigrants in this country un- der the new restrictive law have not been eliminated and it may yet be some time before they are because of the trouble involved in getting the needed cooperation between those who are af- fected by the law, those engaged in transporting the newcomers and those who are charged with enforcing the re- quirements of the law
 Even under the monthly allowance method of admitting immigrants there is now such congestion at the port of New York that it is necessary to divert vessels to Boston for the discharge of passengers. This congestion isn't caused entirely by the large number who are seeking admission but Is aggravated by the large number of disputed cases, the instances where people are being bar red by the application of the Jfnonthly quota and the cases where it means tht division of families and the Imposition i of hardships upon those turned away A large number of decisions made a Ellis island are appealed. Getting thos l appeals to Washington, acted upon ant returned involves time. Red tape ha
 never been noted for speed and the re suit is that large numbers are held a the immigration station awaiting inter
 pretations and decisions. Tn order t overcome this situation and to reliev the congestion Secretary Davis of tn
 department of labor has arranged |
 have the assistant secretary of labo
 make regular visits to the station | speed up the handling Of these eases | This arrangement should afford muc

FILLING THE COAL BIN.

Fuel administrators who are named for the purpose of looking after the in- tereSts Of the consumers have been. and still are urging the putting in of the winters coal supply at as early Q date as possible Those who listened 10 the advice and stocked up last spring got an advantage in the way of price Those who have delayed, hop ing against hope for better prices, have found the market going the other war nd as the result, according 10 Ad- rninistrator Huffman of Massachusetts. retsl dealers in Boston have delivered approximately 2o per cent less coal be- tween the first of April and the first of September this year than they did lzst year
 Sonehow ft would appear that either because of a shortage Of funds or a failure to appreciate the importance of a.d,rg the distribution of fuel at the sea7-n of the year when it ought to be moving and when 1t likewise ought to he ottained at the most favorable fig ure coal consumers have been inclined to adopt that policy of watchful wait ing which as on previous occasions has been found to be so much opposed to tHeir interests.

MORE DIFFICULTIES.

Not little interest was aroused a short time ago by the statement of the revenue collector to the effect that heads of households could make up to 200 gallons of wine by registering with the collector of internal revenue before doing so Under such statement 1t is not surprising that there were many inquiries made and many applications made for the authority. It opened the way for considerable number to get that for which they had been longing without breaking the law, and which they had possibly made plans to have whether the law permitted or not.
 From later announcement made by the internal revenue bureau that pTivi- lege of making 2Ae gallons of wine seems to have been greatly modified if not completely knocked in the head. While it seems to be possible for heads of households to make such a quantity without being subject to taxation it is also a fact that such wine must bt non intoxicating Under the Volstea6 act one-haIf of one per cent. of alcoho is the limit fixed for beverages. The
 
 fruit juices or wine made at home must be non-intoxicaIing and the point seems to be that while such home madt beverages wit not run counter to tht law as long as they are non -intexicat ing there seems to be not a little re sponsibIlity testing upon the maker tC
 stop it from crossing the non-intoxi- eating point
 Much difficulty has been experienced since the volstead act went into ef-
 feet in understanding and enforcing it provisions. When 1t comes to this mat
 ter of home made beverages which arC likely to exceed the alcoholic conten that marks them as non-intoxicatin! there promises to he st;u further diff cultiOs but perhaps home brewers an, wine makers will consider themselve safe until better work is done 1T checking the extensive rum runnin; and rum selling.

THE oPPAU EXPLOSION.

IL makes no difference where such 9 tragic affair occurs as that at Oppau. Germany. it Is bound 10 appal Just what the exact loss of life has been is not ar this time known. Early reports may exaggeTate or may carry under estimates but whatever the final count the number will he too large with a r1uch larger number of injured.
 In view Of the far reaching effects Of the explosion the chances of definitely finding out just what was the cause of the trouble seem remote. The part of the plant where the explosion occurred appears to have been. established as well as what t was that exploded. but what was done to cause such results seern7 likely to have been wiped out by 6eath. if tn fact the one or ones re spon szb!e were conscious of their act.
 Nevertheless It would appear that Tho building where the explosion took pfeca was one of several covering a considerable area, that large number 7t worknen were employed in that area and < would appear from this affair that the existence Of such menac ce constituted q hazard which ought to be eud' .t-A aSi-1Hel Nn inc eFeClOn or such plants by isolating such buildings or Distributing the buildings of such an estsF 'ishnent over much greater terri tory so that iD case of trouble there vii be as little danger as possible and only @ portion Of the workmen would b. within the death limit.

Earth 1ua}es and volcanic eruptions. flood. and Destilence. famine and war horror, have distressed the world in the pas several years. Preventing such imposes much greater task than is involved n avoiding such industrial horrors such terrible affairs as that at Oppau cannot fail 10 prompt the query as tc how many other places are similarly rnenaced and perhaps don't realize it.

MS AND THE MERCHANT MARINE

Not because he has been called to &C., count for it but because he has been >harged with saying something that he 3d not and something that he does not believe, has Admiral Sims stepped Io the front again to declare that he sas been rnisuuoted by Senator Glass of Virginia in regard to the merchant ma stne of this country.

LESSON V AutomObiIe Accidents

Automobile Accidents
 Partly because of numbers and pseed but chiefly because of the varying per sonaity of it's driver the automobile is the vehicle most concerned in accidents. The power and weight of the automobile make any collision with it apt to be serious a slight error in driving or 9 slight mistake in Judgment will cause a bad accident Automobiles have inereas- ed in numbers on the Connecticut high ways at an average rate Of 25 per cent each year for the last ten years. In 1910 there were 12,0O4 and in 1920, 124, soc. During that time the number Of, horse-Ra AInss ox-teaurs and othtA vehicles had also increased There has been no substantial increase in road mile age but road building has had to be di- 1 rected at the better surfacing of the of the present roads. The result has been great congestion which has caused a general speeding up of all vehicles capable of getting out of the way of the 1 others. All this has made more chances for accidents and a greater hazard In 1920. in Connecticut, there were I about 1000 accidents in which automo- ! piles were concerned. Out Of these aboUt 1 % per cent or 1500 resulted in personal 1 injury, 223 resulted in death and 230 people were killed. Out of the 23O, 127 were people walking on the highways and streets and Of the 127, 66 were child ren under twelve. The age at which most children are injured or killed is l five years when they first begin to be on the streets: the time of day is at noop and from three to five in the af-
 ternoon, after school when play begins
 There are more accidents and more people being hurt and killed in 1921 lthan in 1sRo. The conditions on the streets and highways have not materially Ienanged except that there are more ve- hieIes than in 1920. The problems ot safety which everybody has to meet are tno different but they occur oftener There are more cars to dodge and the number of chances to get into an acc; dent is larger
