CONGRESS FACES
SUPER TASK IN
REMAINING DAYS
Hints of FilibusterS Are
Prevalent as March
4 NearS
BY PAUL r. MAILON,
United Press Staff CorreSpond ent)

kOnlLeI TTeSS oCaI1 COrTeSpOIluellJD
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-7Ilints
of filibusters were in the air when
congress set to work today to clear
the mass of legislation on its desk
before noon March 4.
Muscle Shoals, postal pay, the
Lausanne treaty, farm relief and
other important laws were mixed in
turmoil of doubt that caused Re
publican leaders to seek for com.
promises.
Seven working days remain. Hun
dredS of bills remain to be passed.
Half of them at least must be sh0y-
ed ON the scrap heap.
But with work on the necessary
appropriation bills practically com
pleted, leaders found it hard to in
duce sponsors of any bills to desert
their measures. Everyone believes
his bill has chance.
Here 5 the situation rs outlined
to the United Press by floor lead
crS of both houses:
Muscle Shoals:
The Independent group led by
Senators Norris, Smith and Nc
Kcllar, believed it, is justified in
fully debating the pending point Of
order which ruled the Underwood
bill into the discard. 4 preliminary
poll indicates that one or two votes
will decide the issue-with the
chances favoring upholding the rul-
ing of the chair. which might pre-
vent action at this session. Even
if the chair is overruled and the
bill is placed in order Il careful
three or four day filibuster could
kill it.
Farm Relief:
The Capper-Elaugen bill will come
up in both houses today, Republi
can leaders promise. There is strong
opposition to the measure, but II
majority of both houses favors the
bin and Senator Capper, chairman
of the farm bloc, believes it will
get through if no dilatorv ,actics
are practiced by it's opponents.
Lausanne Treaty
Senators King, Utah and Swan
son, Virginia, Democrats, are work
ing among senators on the floor in
an effort to delay a vote. \ fill
buster may be attempted II Chair
man Rorah of the foreign relations
committee carries out his mnoune-
ed intention of forcing the treaty
before the senate this week. Prcsi
dent Coolidge, however, is working
Republicans in line for It's adoption
and il has 4 majority.
Postal Pay
The confcrees care hardly speak
ing to each other Chairman
Moses of The senate post office
committee says. The bills passed
by the senate and house widely di-
verge and so far no spirit of com
promise has been seen. The con
fcrees meet again today.
Isle of Pines Treaty
Senator Copeland, Democrat, New
York, declares the pact is dead for
this session.
