Washington, Nov. 9.-Congress was
called by President Harding Thursday

Der 20, exactly two weeks in advance
of the regular session. The call de-

lows:

WARREN G.. HARDING"
(. Two Weeks in Advance
The call of the special session two
weeks in advance of the regular meet
ing has been approved generally by
rhIioor Iao1arc ylhn
have felt that by getting an earlier
start on legislation than would be af-
forded by the regular session, practi-
cally all important bills, including the
appropriation measures, could be dis
posed of by next March 4, when the
sixty seventh congress must adjourn
sine die.
Leaders have asserted that unless
the special session was called, it would
be necessary to have an extra session
after March 4 and work into the sum-
mer months.
Although the nature of the presi-
dents recommendations to be present
ed to the extra session have not been
definitely outlined, the opinion of re-
publican leaders has been that the
house will proceed directly to consider
alton of the merchant marine bill. The
president agreed to postponement OF
action on this measure at the last ses-
sion upon assurances Of party leaders
that it would be taken up without de-
lay when congress reconvened.
While the house itself is working on
this bill, its appropriations committee,
divided into sub committees viii work
on Tie supply measures, which really
provide the mosi important task facing
congress ut the regular session. Lead
ers hope ITO nave four or five appro-
priation bills ready for the house by
December 4, when the regular session
win begin.
Anti-Lynching Bill
The senate has several important
measures left over from the last ses-
sion, including the Dyer anti-lynching
bill, which has been passed by the
house and it is probable that President
Harding will make make some definite
recommendation at the outset of the
session as to changes in the trans
portation act.
The senate also will receive q num-
Der of nominations soon after it con-
venes, including the name of the sue
cessor to Associate Justice Day, of the
supreme court
Except in the case of vacancies, none
Of the new members of congress chosen
at Tuesdays election will be seated
until afteuw next March 4.
Two new faces probably will appear
in the senate when it meets November
20. Walter F. George was elected
Tuesday in Georgia to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Senator Watson
and if a recount in Delaware confirms
the unofficial returns showing Thomas
f. Bayard, democrat, to have been
elected over T. Coleman Du Pont, re-
publican, who is serving out the un
