PUBLISHED MONDAYS AND THURSDAYS CONCORD, N. C„ MONDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1924 68th Congress Meets i For Farewell Session Little Prospect for the Trans action of Any Important Business at Present Ses sion of Congress. BRIEF SESSIONS IN ORDER TODAY Nothing Will Be Done Un til the President's Message Is Read to the House and the Senate.^ Washington. Dcc. l.—The sixty-eighth Congress a**emb’ed today for it* farewell session, with little prospect for the trans action of any important business beyond passage of the animal appropriation hills. The gavel* fell at noon, with Senator Cummin*, of Indiana, the president 1 pro tein pore presiding in the Senate, and Speaker Gillett in the House. Only brief meetings by each House were arranged for today. Adojurmnent was to be "out of re spect to dead members. There will be a further marking of time tomorrow, pending receipt of Pres ident Coolidge’s annual message which will be transmitted by messenger for read ing in each house separatel. On Thurs day the real work of the session will begin, but how much can or will be ac complished before automatic adjournment on March 4th remains a big question in the minds of all leaders alike. Although chief attention will he giv en to appropriation bills it is by no mean* oeraih that all of these can be disposed of. Much general legislation still is pending and there is going to be strong pressure for consideration of a nufnber of measures on which there is a wide difference of opinion among the membership. But these natural difference* of opin ion are not only hazard* that have a place in the legislative field. The recent national political campaign has created new sores which apparently have been aggravated by the action of Senate Re publican* in reading out of the party Senator La Follefte. of Wisconsin, and his chief senate lieuntenants. With leaders of the House cans have no intention now of taking like action with re*pect to rhe La Fol letto followers at their end of the Capi tol. admittedly the; action of Senate Re publican* ha* had iw effect tiieis* arid has served to widen the breach between regular and insurgent Republicans so of ten apparent at the last session. The Senate has a large amount of legislation pending on its calendar in- j eluding the deficiency bill. Muscle Shoals project and railway and warm legisla tion. Generally speaking, farm aid is regarded as the most important of all the subject* but since the President has appointed a commission which is engaged in a study of this whole field, it is likely llt a I a decision as to the form this legislation is to take will await tin* rejiorl of that commission. The opening session today was brief. After prayer fey the chaplain and quorum calls, the oath of office was administered to the new members, committees were named to inform the President that Con gress was ready to receive communica tions from him, and resolutions on the deaths of members wore adopted. The adjournment was until noon to morrow. but neither House will really begin work before Wednesday when Pres ident Coolidge’s message be read to the two houses separately. The annual budget carrying the admin istration’s recommendations for appro priations, is to la* received by Congress Thursday. Meanwhile. however, the House appropriations committee has a draft of several of the departmental supply hills and also has ready the In terior Department bill. There was the usual crowded galleries at tlu* opening session. Mrs. Coolidge and a party of guests occupied the Pres ident's row in the Senate galleries. The Senate's opening session consumed just 2D lyinutes. Eighty-two of the ninety-five senators answered the opening roll call. In the House the call showed 368 members present out of 433. The House was in session *33 minutes, adjourning after adopting resolutions of regret over the deaths elf three representatives and three senators! Mrs. C. A. Henry is confined to her home by an attack of tonsilitis. | ONE YEAR FREE We Will Give The Progressive Farmer —AND— THE CONCORD TIMES BOTH FOR ONE YEAR * For Only $2.00 THE PRICE OF THE TIMES ALONE The Progressive Farmer is the greatest farm paper published and every farmer should have it.
