HACKERS PLAN
NEW FIGHT ON
RED RIDER
Concede Bill Is Dead
For Session, Seek
Speed Next Year

Conceding that all possibility OF
House consideration of the RED
rider" repeal bill this session is
gone, advocates of the measure al
ready have instituted campaign
to bring about early passage OF
the measure next session.
Both Representatives Mary T.
Norton Cd, of New Jersey, chair
man of the House District Com
mittee, and Fred J. SiSson, author
of the bill, admitted today that
under the parliamentary pro-
cedure which has been agreed
upon by House leaders, the re-
peal bill is dead for this session.
Report FavOrably
Mrs. Norton, however, announ-
ced that the bill will be reported
favorably from her committee
after the next session gets under
way. She said:
ION the first District day of
the next session we will call the
repeal bill up, and l am satisfied
that the House will approve it.
81 feel that we will have more
support for it then than we
have now, and 1 do not have a
doubt that we can get 1t
through"
Will Vote For 1t
Representative SiSSon also
voiced the same opinion, adding:
There are some members Of
the House who / know would
prefer not to have to vote on
the matter at this session Of
Congress-just before the cam
paigns-but who are favorable
to the repeal bill and will GER
tainly vote for it when it is
called up early in the next ses-
sion.
81 am sorry we did not have
time to get the bill up this ses-
sion, but we will intensity our
campaign when the next Con-
gress cOnveneS and / am sure
we will emerge victorious"

THOMAS Bill |
UNANIMOUSLY
PASSED
Sets Up Commission to
Study Problem
Long at Issue

Without a word of debate, the
Senate today unanimously passed
the Thomas resolution setting the
lump-sum contribution for the Dis
trict of Columbia at $5,700,000 for
1887, and providing for a commits
sion to decide the amount to be
paid by the Federal Government
in the future.
This is tantamount to inStruc.
tionS from the Senate to the con-
ferees on the pending bill not to
recede to the $2,700,000 figure set
by the House. The House already
has instructed its conferees to
stand by their figures.
Hope to Break Deadlock
This throws the bill back into
conference with hope of breaking
the deadlock on a compromise.
It is believed that the figure finally
settled upon may be five million
dollars.
When the conferees on the bill
reached a deadlock, the House IN
structed it's managers to stand
firm, but no action was taken by
the Senate. In order to place the
Senate conferees on an equal foot
ing, Senator Elmer Thomas Cd
of Oklahoma, chairman, drew up
his resolution, which would allow
compromise, due to the tact
that it included the proposal 1or
the commission.
It is expected that when the
resolution passed today reaches
the House, it will be amended to
read $2,7O0,000 and sent back for
a conference by the same mem"
bers of the Senate and House. II
is planned to take the resolution
up at the same time that the bill
is considered Tuesday or Wednes-
day of next week.
Commission Set-Up
In the event, however, that the
House refuses to compromise
on any figure above $2,70O,O0O.
Thomas is prepared to introduce
a continuing resolution.
This would put the District on
the same basis, as far as main
tenance of the city government Is
concerned, as it is being run this
year. But it would not provide
for any improvement or new
items.
The setup of the commission as
proposed would include three
members-one to be appointed by
the President, one by the president
of the Senate and one by the
Speaker of the House. They must
be non-residentS of the District
and without property here.
Agreement Tacit
It was tacitly agreed among the
conferees at the last meeting that
the report of the commission,
stating just how much the Federal
Government should pay the Dis
trict, if any, would bind both the
Senate and the House in future
appropriations bills. 1t is under
stood that the House managers are
so certain that the commission
will find that the Federal Gov
eminent should not pay any
money for running washington
that they agreed to let higher
lump sum go in for 1887.

KEEPING THE FLAG FLYING

There were quite q rev people
who were officially responsible for
the efficient handling of the PreSi-
dents welcome Friday morning
who owe Representative Virginia
E. Jenckes of Indiana a vote OF
thanks.
1t was through the efforts of the
lady Democrat that three Ameri-
can flags in excellent shape flew
from the three newly painted flag
poles on the Union Station plaza.
At the last session of Con-
gress, Mrs. Jenckes got tired OF
looking over the Nations Capital
and finding buildings without
flagpoles and flag poles without
flags. She was particularly irked
by the appearance of the three
poles on the plaza in such close
proximity to the Capitol.
After drawing up a bill calling
for adequate flag poles to be
placed on all public buildings
in the city she called the rail
roads attention to the poles on
the plaza. Her efforts were
awarded by courteous letters
from the companies and since
then the poles and flags have
been taken care of regularly.
Mrs. Jenckes intends to push
further legislation along this
line at the next session Of Con-
greSS.
