HOUSE MAY REFUSE RECESS
FOR BIG CONTENTIONS.
Democrat Agree to Press All Tariff
Bills to Vole, Including One
for Excise Tax.
WASHINGTON. May IS. Congres
sional gossip now center largely upon
adjaurnment. Regular Republican
Senators are bringing the tariff bills
out of the finance committee, but are
fonaldering absenting themselves upon
the votes so that the President may
have the advantage of vetoing straight
Democratic tariff measure.
The Democrats have agreed to press
all the tariff bills. Including the ex
cise tax, to a vote. All efforts to map
out a programme for adjournment be
fore th National party convention
have so far failed In the Senate. The
Senate Is congested and many Sena
tor have no expectations that Con
gress will get away until after June.
"Adjournment?" repeated Vice-Tres-Ident
Sherman, when asked. "About the
first part of August."
It was said that if the Senate did not
adjourn before the conventions the
House would refuse to recess over the
convention period. Opposition to a re
cess also has developed among Sena
tors. DAILY CITY STATISTICS

Workers of the World movement, a
communication was sent out today by
the secretary of the union authorizing
all longshoremen to do all In their
power to help make the Memorial day
