Washington, D. C.—Congress ended
its six months Msslon in an atmos­
phere of controversy and turmoil char­
acteristic of the bitter dissension
which has marked its proceedings
from the start.
Western senators and representa-
tivee in the final hours of the session
fought, and leat * ^desperate tight for
legislation to relieve the farmer and
to reform the reclamation policy of
the government.
Many other measures. Including the
bill authorizing construction of eight
new cruisers and modernization of
ie deficiency appro-
battleships
prlation bill carrying funds to begin
operation of the bonus law and for
many otbar purposes, failed in the
final crush of legislation when the
session ended.
.. Farm legislation, embodied in half
a dozen measures which were put into
shape early in the session, failed of
enactment, although efforts were con­
tinued for it up to the last hour.
Likewise, no railroad legislation of
great importance was placed on the
statute books. This legislation, how­
ever, and much other was ppt Into
position where It can be taken up at
the next session with much of the
work of hearings and investigation«
completed.
Muscle Shoals, a question which has
been In the forefront now tor many
months, once more went over for set­
tlement at the December session.
One Important factor in the work
of the session was the balance of
power held by the insurgent group
headed by Senator La Follette, repub
Mean, Wisconsin. 'Joining with the
democrats, it seated a democrat. Sen­
ator Smith, South Carolina, an-the

I rce committee. In the house, again
joining with the democrats, it forced a
