Appropriation Bills
Will Hold Attention
Congress This Week

Washington, Feb. 1l.-(AP)-While
the conferees are seeking to iron out
differences between the Senate and
House on the tax bill, Congress will
devote the major part Of its time this
week to consideration Of appropriation
bills carrying huge sums.
The House will take up the $165, 0oo,-
900 public buildings bill, which II
passed last session but which died in
the Senate. The measure will be de-
bated under a rule which requires q
two-thirds vote for passage and linn
its debate to 40 minutes.
At the same time the Senate will
have before II the first Of the 10 annual
supply bills, that appropriating funds
for the treasury and postoffice depart
ments. After that Is out Of the way
the first deficiency bill Of this session
will be considered.
Before taking up the treasury and
postoffice measures the Senate will de-
vote two hours to its calendar. on
which more than $50 measures are list
ed. The great majority Of these are
bridge and private claims bills, but
included among them are the measures
approving debt funding agreements
with Italy. Belgium and three other
foreign governments.
Tuesday the House expects to pass
the war department appropriation bill
and t.. measure appropriating $685.
900 for government partic'r"+ion in the
sesqui-centennial celebration at Phila-
dalphia. Thereafter it will give its
time to the Independent Offices appro-
priation measure.
The House is far ahead Of the SEN
ate, having disposed Of number of
appropriation bills, but It still has to
battle with a number Of pressing
problems, including farm relief. The
Senate has all of the appropriation
bills yet to consider as well as Muscle
Shoals. farm relief. railroad legisla-
ton and other subjects Of only little
less Importance.

Hard Coal Strike

RocheSter, N. " Feb. 13-(AP)-
Settlement Of the anthracite strike
was due to fear that President Cool

people. and to pressure brought on
the administration and property In

dress here today. Mr.. Jacobstein as.
serted that the administration could
have prevented the strike had It 80
desired. and praised Senator Cope

settlement.
Pressure was getting too hot for
President Coolidge, and the proper
ty interests. and for the first time
since he has been at Washington the
president has been feeling the effects
Of criticism hurled at his admins
tration," said Mr.. Jacobstein. Talk
that the administration was without
power to stop the coal strike was
nonsense. It could have prevented
the strike before it was called, Just
as Roosevelt and Wilson did.

The administration could make an

The whole trouble was that the an

The soft coal consumers Of the South
