 OPENSN
 SENATE
Long Struggle Expected As to Whether There Will Be More or Less of Govern ment In Business.

Washington, June 20-The Senate plunged today into what threatens to be a long, bitterly fought battle be- tween the advocates of governm ent regulation of ''big business and the proponents of Hess government in business
 The immediate issue was the Ere Hnghuysen seasonal coal rate bill. But behind the opposition and sup port centered upon it was the renew ed warfare between the forces seek ing to have the government direct the production, transportation and those who contend that they should be left to the law of supply and de- mand, and of private business.
 The Frelnghuysen bill, given the right of way as the unfinished busi- ness of the Senate, was the vehicle for fresh onslaughts upon the Esch- Cummins transportation act by Sena- tor LaFollette, Rep, Wis, chairman of the transportation subcommittee of the Senatorial Agricultural bloc," and other Senators bent upon before the Senate again.

Predict Defeat For
 Volstead Bill To
 Make Beer Outlaw

Washington, June 20-Defeat of the Vo1stead bill to outlaw beer was predicted today, as the row between the drys began to take on more fire The prohibitionists were at logger heads when Andy Volsteady, au- thor of the new bill to make medi- cina1 beer drinking a crime, went be- fore the House Rules committee for a grilling. Their camp was split wide open by the charges and counter charges of bad faith passed between Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel for the Anti-Sa1oon League, and Rev. E. c. Dinwiddie, leaders of several national temperance bodies.
 The Vets wept no bitter tears to- day as Dinwiddie turned loose a yer bal torrent of criticism against Wheeler and accused him of prime responsibility for an imminent flood of beer and liquor such as the country has not known for 20 months since the "dry'' era began. Dinwiddie was vehement over Wheeler's accusation that he was aiding and abetting the vets" Dinwiddie said of all persons in the land Wheeler is to be chiefly make the beer bill a means of par aIyzing legitimate industrial users Of alcohol. There will be a deluge of beer and other liquors and Wheeler is to be blamed for his obstinate atti- tude,'' said Dinwiddie- He alone is responsible if delay results from his notion that anti-beer legislation must be hooked up with a lot of other con- troversial matters, I am deeply sorry that such a situation has arisen. But the Congress cannot be expected to take action which clearly will exter- minate legitimate interests? The guise of indicting beer"
 The row between the Drys means inevitably that the House and Senate will refuse to set aside it's normal pro- cedure to furnish vehicle to rail road'' the bill through.

Republicans Now
 Realize Big Fight
 Is Confronting Them

That the Republicans of Bridge port have come to a realization of the fight that confronts them in the fall primaries and election is fully evil denced in the attempts they are di- in the Democratic ranks. The serious internl factional difficulties of the Republicans are made to appear even more dangerous in view of the fact that there is bound to be a marked decrease in campaign funds, due to several significant causes.
 While discussing the situation this morning, a prominent business man who is close with the inner workings Republican plan to split the opposi- tion party
 ''The very first move that I have seen, and that tends to strengthen my knowledge of the Republican strategy to wreck the harmony of the Demo- crats, was the published story that Chairman Cornell was to be busted. Anyone close enough with local poli- tics can readily see the improbability of this, but that story and many more that are yet to follow will be the means used to disrupt Democratic strength. Such propaganda will fol- low right through the primaries to the campaign in an attempt to divide the party, and of course such a split would be equivalent to a success at the polls.
 ''In addition. the Republicans, as in other years will endeavor through the Democrats they have enrolled to cause as much discussion as possible in the aldermanic district fights, and

Only the day before the ship arrived the Izyestia wrote as follows about Pet rograd:
 ''The fate of the city is so tragic that no comparison can be found in the worlds history. The immense mortality of Russia during the past few years may be regarded as far more tragic than the fall of Pompeii'' D

LOCAL POLICE FOLLOW UP
 LATEST CLUE

Local detectives will probably go to Stamford this afternoon for the purpose of questioning Harry O'Nei1l, of 756 State street, this city, who was arrested in Stamford this morning on charge of carrying concealed weapons.
 It is not thought probable that O'Neiu is connected in any way with the shooting of Patrolrnan Thomas A. Tierney, Wednesday night, but the police are taking no chances of letting any prisoner get away without an in vestigation. At the time of his ar rest, O'Neill had a revolver with one shell exploded and a camera in his possession.
 Patro1man Tierney's condition re- mains unchanged, according to a re- port made at noon today at St. Vim cents hospital. The wounded man has put up a wonderful fight for life during the past four days, and it is said that he now has a chance for recovery. The blood transfusion which was thought necessary Satur- day morning, has not yet been per formed.
