they have made preliminary private
reports to the White House, which
might be summed up about aa fol

The adherence to the world court
will be voted by the senate late In
February after a decade of delay. The
aoldler bonus will o whooping
through both houses, probably by
two-thlrda majorities, because eon
servative republicans are secretly
planning to vote for It. On a veto,
the vote will be very close, with odds
now favoring adoption of a loose

Interest and confining cash payments
to thou reasonably in need.
The NRA reorganization will not
meet much opposition because it will
be confined to eliminating prlce

corrections. There will be a total of
Just about aa much spending aa this
year, as curtailments proposed by the
administration will not be generally
acceptable to congress.
There will be no new money legis
lation, no new silver legislation. Con
gress will go further than Mr. Roose
velt In social reform legislation and
probably will adopt a plan of old age
pensions as well as unemployment
insurance. (The Townsend crowd Is
making a deep Impression already
among congressmen here) There will
be no general tax legislation and no
further tariff legislation.
The longest and biggest battle will
be staged over the social reform leg
islation. It will not be between pros
and antls. because nearly everyone
seems to favor the general principle.
The important fighting will be be
tween advocates of the principle, who
have a dozen different plans, rang
ing from more or less socialistic ones
on up.
The session undoubtedly will drag
on, despite present new deal plans
to curtail It and adjournment will
come probably In May or June.

The authorization, tt was explain
ed, did not designate the area that
might be embraced by the sympathy

had previously been quoted as say
ing any sympathy strike probably
would be confined, to the Los Ange
les harbor area "at first," Mackenefe
yesterday said It might extend to
Portland, Ore., El Paso. Tex., and as
far east as Salt Lake City, Utah.

"I have been voted the authority

Mackenzie said the exact time ol

it was Intimated the strike wouid
