Congested Dockets Bring
Plea From Department
of Justice.

Designed to enable the Federal Gov
eminent to relieve congestion in the
Federal Courts, bring dockets up to
date and get cases disposed of more
promptly, the Department OF Justice
has asked the Bureau of the Budget
for an increase of about $500, GOO in its
estimate for the next fiscal year. it was
learned today from Attorney General
Mitchell.
The increased funds are needed, the
Attorney General found from a detailed
survey of the entire judicial system.
which showed on the average that 20
per cent of cases in court had not been
touched for more than one year.
The increases are requested for relief
especially for United States marshals,
district attorneys offices and the clerks
of courts. For these items the appro-
priation at the present time for this
fiscal year totals $8.472, 900.

FATE OF TARIFF
WORRIES LEADERS
Prospect of Delay in s.1eciaI
Session Is Telling on Re-
publican ChieftainS.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Fears that the Senate cannot COM
plete its work on the tariff bill before
the end of the special session and that
the administration would not favor its
revival In the regular session were add
ed today to the worries of the Repub-
lican leadership.
Senator Robinson of Arkansas, Demo-
cratic floor leader, still insisted that
the Senate would be able to dispose OF
the bill by November 10. But Senator
Watson, Republican of Indiana. Re-
publican floor leader, was by no means
so optimistic.
Despite the efforts of the majority
leader to keep down feeling and prevent
contention, the ranks of the regulars
were already showing the strain of their
frequent defeats at the hands Of the
coalition during consideration OF the
administrative sections of the bill.
Watson Is Optimistic.
Watson believes that the Republican
regulars will be in much better posi-
ton after the rate schedules are reached
late this week or early next week, but
he is unable to ignore the signs OF
stress shown at a meeting OF the Senate
finance committe majority.
Senator Reed of Pennsylvania, on
whom has fallen the brunt of guiding
the. measure through the Senate thus
far, has declared that unless more as
sistance is given him in his task he Is
ready to relinquish the responsibility.
Again, there has been evidence that the
repeated opposition victories were dis
heartening the young Republican SEN
ators.
Consideration of rate schedules, on
which the Republican leaders expect the
group of Democrats and western ice.
publicans to break, was to have started
today or tomorrow, but has been iur-
Their delayed by injection Of the Philip
pines independence issue into the SIT
uation.
A proposal by Senator Broussard.
Democrat of Louisiana, to levy tariffs on
imports from the Philippines and return
the revenue thus derived to the Islands
treasury until independence is granted,
still awaited action.
Island independence Rejected.
The Senate refused to table this pro-
posal by a vote OF 81 TO "a before re-
jecting a substitute by Senator King,
Democrat, of Utah, which would have
granted independence to the islands
after a constitutional convention there
had set up self government by a vote
of As to SO.
Beyond disposal of this issue the Sem
ate must dispense with numerous indi-
vidual amendments calculated to occupy
it until the latter part of this week or
early next, before reaching the rate
schedules.
The ballot on the Philippines indie
pendence proposal was regarded as not
a test vote on that subject. The dispo-
sition given it was aimed, members of
both parties pointed out, to prevent con-
fusion of the subject with consideration
OF the tariff bill.
Senator King, in presenting 1t, said
he was not willing to tax the Philippines
without their consent. Chairman Bing-
ham of the territories committee, prom
ised TO hold hearings on q bill Of the
same intent which Senator King has
before it, with view to reporting 1t at
the regular session.

SCORES PHILIPPINE PLAN.

Senator Barker Hits independence
Clause.
By the Associated Press.
An assault on the Broussard Philip
pine independence amendment to the
tariff bill was begun in the Senate to-
day at the outset Of debate and pro-
crossed with such momentum as to
indicate a defeat such as that dealt
the King proposal.
The amendment would request the
President to invite other governments
to consider an agreement to respect
the independence and territorial integ-
rity of the Philippines"
Plan Held Ridiculous.
Opening the opposition, Senator
Barley. Democrat, Kentucky, said the
proposal on its face was ridiculous !"
He would not vote for it, he said, be-
cause. in the first place 1t had no
business" in the tariff bill
Barley said he had voted yesterday
for the rejected amendment of Senator
King, Democrat, Utah, which would
have granted independence after q con-
stitutional convention had set up a
form Of government in the islands, add
ing he favored independence, but
doubted the propriety of such a Ques-
ton being injected into the tariff de-
bate.
Sees Queer Performance"
at seems to be a rather queer per-
Torrance" he said, when we are con-
sidering tariff bill to have the Philip
pine independence matter suddenly be-
come paramount question, and we
are asked to act on resolution calling
for a conference to consider an agree
ment to respect an independence which
we have not yet granted"
Senator Walsh, Democrat, Of Mon
tana, also opposed the amendment, say
ing 1t was entirely unnecessary. The
same end could be accomplished, he
argued. without any agreement such as
that proposed.

URGED IN BUILDING
President Rosengarten Tells As
ISOLATION Conditions Are Bet
ter Today Than Ever Before.

Benefits to be derived from cooper
alton between contractors and subcon-
tractors, and the necessity for co-opera-
ton that successful building may be ac-
complished, were stressed by E. H.

the Master Builders Association last
evening.
From the viewpoint of the builders,
conditions are better today than ever
before, he said. mo matter how great
our success, however" he added, land
no matter how great the thrill of doing
a good Job, one vital point we must not
overlook, and that Is to give our sub
contractors due credit for their share
In what we do"
Mr.. Rosengarten pointed out that the
Building Trades Employers Association
was organized recently with the object
to enlarge the sphere of operation and
cooperation between contractor and

the Northern States Potato Grow

Idea Rejected
BRAND said he had tried to
broaden hts political support with
addition of some ministers without
portfolio and possibly some under
secretaries of state, all of which
posts would have gone to radical
socialist members Of the chamber.
The idea was rejected, however,
today at a party council. It was
understood the new premier would
have radical socialist support in
the main pending problems of for
eign affairs, such as negotiations
with Germany and affairs of the
league Of nations.
Edouard Herriot, radical socialist
mayor Of Lyon, vas quite willing to
come into the cabinet without in
sisting on a portfolio, but hardly
had he expressed his willingness
before his party disapproved the
idea and he took the first train
back to Lyons.
M. BRAND appeared satisfied with
the retention Of his old cabinet
apparently realizing it was a make
shift solution at best and would
have to be shifted sooner or later
