Many G. 0. P. Senators Term Victory Of Liberty Loan,
Bill As Their Party's Surrender.Today Closes Sixty
Fifth Congress With All Records Broken For Money
Spent, Unusual Lars And Work Left Undone.
By L. C. Martin
(United Press staff correspondent)
Washington, Mar. 3. This is the
last legislative day of the sixty fifth
congress. . , j
Beth .houses will remain in practic
ally continuous session from today un
til noon tomorrow. .
Tho final hours promised to elima
fittingly the work of the war congress,
which has broken all recorils for mon
ey spent, unusual laws passed and work
left undone ' ...
Interest centered" in the senate as
to how many appropriation bills the re
iuiblicaii.) would1 force over to the ex
tra session.
Tho general impression among both
democrats and republicans early to
day was that tho army and navy, agri-
culture and District of Columbia appro
priation bi!ls would fail of passage.
Republicans Reticent
Republicans we.ro reticent. They re
fused to aunouncd plans, pointing out
that republican ranks are not com(
lotely united as to wJi-at should be
done.
Whilo" tho spirit of "fight the- pres
ident" .is strong in some republicans
others today wore a "what's the uso"
eKpre9sion, due, tlioy 8aid, to what they
termed their party's surrender on the
victory loan bill, regarded as the only
measure failure' of which might mean
lan extra session. I
.Failure of republicans to unite in a'
determined filibutor against tho presi
dent 'was regarded by Some as throw
ing away the fruits of the victory
gained at tho polls last November,
Tho flcnnto today lm.s before it the j what they wish them" were urged to
deficiency bill .providing 750,000,000 j day before the conference- of mayors
..for the ra ikon da and about 126,000,- anlj governors jointly toy President
000 for miscellaneous purposes. Demo-Wilson and Sewotary of Labor V.il
ratic lenilers expected this bill to pass t son
cut admitted today it is the only one
Cf the rcuia'ininsf siipph- bills which
they are at. all hopeful about.
May Force Issueg
The legislative situation is full of
Ivos-srVilities, observers pointod out, and
inasmuch us the deficiency bill is not
generally expected to occupy nearly
I1 the day nnd a half which remains,
it. was predicted in some quarters that
nduiinistratiou leaders might decide to.
force n 'issue with republicans on all
the 'bills.
In that effect, if republicans carry
out tho threats they made Sunday
When they yielded on the victory loan
lill ,t''iey will filibuster. Many of them1
liave views on the league of nations!
which they have so far refrained from!
oxpressing. Senator Sherman, Illinois, I
lias already announced he will devote
several hours to discussing it.
Senator Harding said he- might talk
on tho league in connection with the
naval bill if it is, called up. Senator
liaKollntte also intimated that ho has
few observations to submit if the oc
casion warrants.

Telegraphers Union Strikes
As Soon As Officials Order
Portland,' Ore., March 3. Tho Port
land council of the Commercial tele
graphers union of America has voted
to strike as soon us orders are received
from the international president.
The council met Hunday and so de
cided. Resolutions which were adopted
declare that Postmaster General Burle
son has failed to keep his promises and
that the United States telephone and
telegraph administration has shown con
tinued hostility toward organized labor.
The principal grievance cited by tho
council was tho alleged failure to re
instate discharged members and fulfil
wage agreements.
Similar strike votos were taken Sun
day in many other cities of tho country.
A great deal nf enow has fallen in
the Ciise-nde and Coast mountains in
Lane county this month.
