WASHINGTON. Aug. 11-President
Coolidge's return to his executive Of
fices today from Marion was accom-
panied by a renewal OF pressure on
him for an extra session OF congress.
Several of those who want an extra
session have placed their views before
the president and those who oppose
the session also have been heard. But
to none. so far as can be learned, has
he given a decision.
Advocates of immediate action have
based their plans on the necessity OF
quickly enacting legislation TO help
the farmers in the marketing OF their
crops and to settle the coal question.
Those averse to the idea believe moth
ing can be gained from an extra ses-
sion at this time.
Before Mr.. Coolidge went to Marion.
Senator Shipstead. farmer-labor sen
ator from Minnesota, told him that
congress should be convened but. on
the same day. Representative John NJ.
Nelson. republican, Wisconsin. a mem
Der of the progressive bloc. said a
call would do no good. Other mem
bers have expressed similar divergent
views.
Representative Young. republican.

Thursday and told him hat action
was necessary Immediately in HIS ter,
