HOPE TO SAVE
SUBSIDY
Harding and Lasker Confer
With Administration Sena-
tors to Help Passage.

The administrator ship sub
sidy bill was floundering today
seemingly without hope in the SEN
ate's uncharted and heavy legisIa-
tive sea.
While Republican helmsnlen
worked strenltously to devise some
new methods by which the bill
could be brought out soon for
definite action, there existed strong
doubt. even among the measure's
most ardent supporters. that It
would be voted upon at this ses-
sion.
Even Senator Watson Rep) Of
Indiana, than whom there is no
more optimistic prophet on the Re-
publican side, is skeptical concern.
ing the bills future, and does not
share the views of President Hard
ing and Albert Lasker, chairman
OF the shipping board, the bill can
be passed Shortly.
Democrats COncede Four.
A careful poll of the Senate indi-
Gates, and Democrats concede. a
majority Of four or five to the
bill, If ever it should be brought
to vote. So far all tactics to
expedite action have been thwarted.
But one other course remains-to
demand night sessions, and keep
the Senate in almost continuous
session between now and March 4.
Adoption Of this drastic course,
unless more progress is made within
the next ten days or two weeks will
be urged upon the Senate by Presi-
dent Harding. A. D. Lasker, chair
man, who shares the Presidents
opinion, has been in close touch with
Administration Senators all this
week in regard to this proposal, and
a definite plan for speeding up
action is understood to be ready
for submission whenever Mr. Hard
ing feels 1t is time Ito put down the
clamps"
With these contemplated night
sessions, Republicans hope to "kill
off" opposition by wearing down the
minority resistance. To this chal.
lenge Democrats have responded that
they, too, "are ready to fight in
definitely, and necessarily, IL that is
necessary"
But even with this plan it would
seem rather dubious, in view of the
extensiveness of the Senate calendar
to get vote before adjournment.
Six Large Bills Pending.
There still remain six large appro-
priation bills to be enacted.

tate a bitter struggle, for the farm

Norbeck (Rep) of South Dakota will
toss a monkey wrench into the ma
chinery when he demands considera-
ton Of his bill for relief of farmers.
What appears to foreten one of the
most spectacular legislative battles
of the year is in sight when the
American debt funding commission
reports to Congress on any agree
ment reached with Great Britain
for funding Of the S., 000, 000, 900 war
debt to this country. AT that time
efforts will be made to iberaliZe the
debt funding law, in face of already
announced and prepared Democratic
opposition.
Seek Action on Shoals.
And, Finally, a large faction in the
Senate wants a disposition made
of the Muscle Shoals question be-
fore March 4. This will take time,
for there is much opposition to
Henry Ford's offer among sRepub-
Iicans.
Administration leaders, like Wat
son. have pointed out this legislative
lam to the President, with a further
statement Sthat 1t seems practically
futile to insist too strongly on
passage Of the subsidy. 1t would
come out of the Senate, If at all,
much the worse for wear, Mr.. Hard
ing has been informed.
Realizing all this. President Hard
ing now is said to be entirely recon-
ciled to the fact that the subsidy
fight, at best, Is a losing one, and
that virtually it will take super.

present legislative mire into which
it has sunk. But regardless OF what
may be done, 1t may be reliably
