'J.fVI Victor Recotdfc gSj T vM&mS ' Series of Tests Proposed to Deter mine Which Measures Stand Any Chance of Passage "Revc - nue Fight" Is Begun. WASHINGTON. Jan. 28. With less than 30 working days remaining in the life of the 64th Congress, the Demo cratic steering committee of the Sen ate decided today to hold daily sessions of the Senate from 11 o'clock in the morning until 10 o'clock at night, be ginning Thursday, February 1. What general legislation is to be taken up lirst no member of the steer ing committee would say. The general understanding, however, is that the railroad labor bills will be considered as soon as the Indian appropriation bill is out of the way, provided the inter state commerce committee does not ultimately decide to await action on this matter In the House. In view of the fact that Representative Adamson is preparing to rush a separate bill on the subject through the House the Sen ate committee may decide to wait. In that case the corrupt .practices bill or the mineral land leasing measure may have a tryout. Sertea of Teats Suggested. Owing to the unusual opposition from one source or another to nearly every pending Administration measure, some of the leaders believe it would be wise to call up the various bills to see just what progress might be made on them and to determine If threatened oppo sition is so unyielding as to make their passage before March 4 impossible. Another1 obstruction to business which Democratic leaders fear is the urgent desire of Republican Senators to force discussion of President Wilson's peace address, as provided for in Sena tor Cummins" resolution for a debate and the Borah resolution to reaffirm the faith of the Senate in the Monroe doctrine and the principles of Wash ington and Jefferson, advising against entangling foreign alliaces. 4 Revenue Fight Scheduled. In the House this week the revenue fight will begin. The ways and means committee will meet tomorrow, when the entire membership for the first time will consider and pass upon the meas ure framed by Chairman Kitchin and his Democratic colleagues. Mr. Kitchin said the bill would be reported out of the committee Monday, taken up by the House Tuesday and passed prob ably Wednesday night or Thursday. The Republicans favor a protective tariff proposition with rates not ex ceeding the Payne-Aldrich tariff rates as a substitute for the Democratic plan. Republican Representatives will cau cus probably Friday night on the legis lative situation. A resolution to be considered among others is one intro duced by Representative Anderson, of Minnesota, to create a committee of 15 Republicans to receive and consider suggestions as to a legislative pro li gramme for the Republicans in the next House. This is regarded as a compromise on Representative Gard ner's progressive programme. CAR SHORTAGE IS WORSE Grays Harbor Mlllmen to Invest! i gate Business Obstacle. ABERDEEN, Wash.. Jan. 28.

Jan. 28. "Uni form .bread," consisting of half rye flour and 40 per cent white flour, and 10 per cent barley flour, Is to be adopted exclusively In Berlin, accord ing to a ruling made today by the mag istrates. The ruling conforms with a recommendation of the Bread Commis sion, which has been investigating the Increasing bread shortage that has made Itself painfully felt during the last few weeks. The decision was made despite pro tests from every quarter and in face of arguments that "uniform bread" would not appreciably better the situa tion. The bread shortage has been con fined largely to white loaves and Is due to transportation difficulties and the over-generous production ef cakes by bakers. Cake-making, therefore, has been forbidden hereafter. The protests against the proposition to introduce "uniform bread' as Ham burg and other cities have done were based "on the arguments that it will be more expensive than the o-ld rye bread. Rumors of the impending introduc tion of the unpopular "uniform bread" were accompanied by reports that the weekly allowance of 1400 grams would be reduced, but it was declared today that this step was not intended in the. new circumstances.
