lican meeting 1t was apparent that
the factional fuss had come to an
end with the nomination of Albert

As matter of fact the align

UNWILLING HOUSE CONFINES WORRIED

After Presidents Address To- day Program to Be Mapped Out, Democrats Pressing
 Muscle Shoals

M Washington, August 15.--fSpecial.) ) It was a very unwilling House Of Representatives that convened with out quorum today. All members except those from one party states wore their political worrie on their faces because of the elections and apparent determination of the people to turn outtthe "ins." the House could 1t have it's way would do nothing. It was the general predic- ton today that as few subjects as possible would be approached. and It was regarded as not improba ble that certain uncompleted legislation would be spasmodicaliy touched and postponed until after the elections
 After the President addresses Con- gress tomorrow. republican leaders will devise a program. They will erdeavor to give the President what he will seek as means of settling the strikes. They will agree to take up the tariff, the bonus and ship su psidy It is known tonight that they will inform southern demo- crats that there will not be suffi- cient time finally to dispose of Muscle Shoals.
 If<tttmc proves to be really lack Ing it will be because of timidity on the part of republicans in tack ling ship subsidy, which, 1t is said, does not sit well with western farm CTS. Democrots, despite their de- sire to give Muscle Shoals to Henry Ford. will not, for the sake of ex- pedtency compromise with republi- cans either regarding tariff or sub sidy. This was made known off cially tonight.
 Southern democrats representing practically all southern states in- formally caucused this afternoon. It was determined to bring all possible pressure to bear on republican lead sers to the end that vote might be had on Muscle Shoals. The south erners agreed among themselves that there could be no reason for the republicans withholding a vote. The. subject has already been dis Scussed. Debate could be limited to one day and Congress could be held in session indefinitely.
 Democrats want the vote because they believe that should the Ford offer go through the House. the eff feet on the Senate would be pro- nounced favorable. There Is but one obstacle in the House. Ford ln- cludes the Gorgas steam plant, situ- ated 90 miles from Muscle Shoals in his proposition, and able republi- cans, who would otherwise favor the Ford offer. insist that the gov ernment ls bound In honor to dis pose of tho Gorgas property to tht A1AbaHnA RoWor company.
