The Senate.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

The Senate will be called upon to
struggle with the problem Of see
ing that the people of the country
obtain their coal on time and at
reasonable rates.
The first of the Frelinghuysen
bills. dealing with the coal indus
try, has been made the unfinished
business of the. Senate. It pro-
vides for seasonal freight rates
on the transportation of coal, so
as to lower the rates during the
spring and summer months.
The Senate finally passed the
packer bill-in practically the
same form as it came from the,
House-last week. notwithstand-
ing protests that the slogan of the
President. Less government in
business was being disregarded.
The Senate agricultural committee.
however. failed to have its bill
substituted for the House measure.
II the House fails to accept the
minor amendments made by the
Senate. the bill will be sent to
conference.
The. resolution to end the tech.
nical state of war between the
United States and Germany and
Austria is due for further delay
of at least week. Senator Lodge.
chairman of the conference COM
mittee. will be away from Wash
ington during the greater part Of

held probably until next week.
However. Senator Lodge and his
republican colleagues on the con-
ference committee, taking time by
the inrslock. held informal meet
ings last week. before the House

and it is understood that not a
little progress was made toward
an agreement.
The conferees on the Army ap-
preparation bill made considerable
prosress-in fact. it is believed
that a final agreement is in sight.
But the conferees on the naval
appropriation were not so success
full. Finding themselves dead
locked-the Senate conferees re-
fused to give way on any of the
increases made in the bill-the
conferences were abandoned. In
less an agreement is reached prior
to July /. when the new fiscal year
begins. there may be some embar-
raSsment for the Navy.
The Senate finance committee is
scheduled to meet tomorrow for
the purpose of reporting to the
Senate the adjusted compensa-
tion" bill for the veterans of the
