BY JAMES E. CHM.

Renovated and improved by the

bill is headed today toward the final
stages of enactment.
The House late yesterday sent the

conferees. thus paving the way for
the House and Senate to adjust the
items il disagreement. Indications
are the initial conference will be held

fixed by Chairman Thomas of the

preparations which framed the 1887
supply bill. They are Representative
Blanton OF Texas johnson Of West
Virginia and Jacobsen Of Iowa. all
Democrats, and Otter, Republican, of
Pennsylvania.
House Group Outnumbered.
No explanation was given for placirg
Cannon in charge Of the House Con-
ference Committee. 1t is known. how
ever, he was added to the committee
in an effort to equalize the House
membership with that of the Senate.
Nevertheless, the Senate named six
confereeS and the House has but five,
so the Conference Committee is still
unbalanced in favor of the Senate.
The Senate conferees are Senators
Thomas of Oklahoma, Glass Of Vir-
ginia, Copeland of New York, King Of
Utah. all Democrats, and Nye of North
Dakota and Keyes of New Hampshire,
both Republicans.
Senator King is not a member OF
the Senate Appropriations Committee
but he was placed on the Senate Con-
ference Committee because of his po-
sition as chairman of the District
Committee. The House. however, did
not follow the same policy and place

Representative Rich, Republican, Of
Pennsylvania, that they will give
more time than that to the report?"
Blantor pointed out that the House
spent severa! days on the bill before
sending it to the Senate and indicat-
ed that it would take more than sew.
eral days to get it out of conference.

increase of s1,259, ,437 over the amount
fixed by the House. In addition it
restores the Federal obligation toward

Modern Social Questions to Be Studied,
 Discussed

The first session of Q study class fin economies and sociology will be held tomorrow evening at 8 o'clock. on the second floor of the Post Col- lege, Central Avenue. The class is being organized by the socialist la- bor party on the assumption that the confusion and general chaos prevalent in the country today de- mands consistent and earnest study. AS stated by Herman Simon. state organizer of the party who will in- struct and lead the discussions, "thc panaceas and remedies offered to n confused populace today are legion. It requires Q mind equipped with at least m elementary knowledge of economies and history to successful ly wade through the quagmire with out being hopelesgly lost. Without clarity in the crucial times through which we are passing. the reaction thrown off by docaying social or- der is inevitable. Germany, Austria, Italy, and other European countries bear vivid witness to tho consc- quences of confusion, The socialist labor party offers through its course compass of social science by which the working class can guide itself" Mir. Simon will be remembered as having participated in the local Y. M. c. As radio forum discussions some weeks ago. There will be no admission charge. Anyone interested In the serious study of modern so- cial questions is invited to attend.
