KGRESS TO GET DOWN 01 TO ACTUAL WORK c< Il Blranches Moved Very Itlowly at huring the Opening Week of the m short Session. Ia Vashington, Dec. 11.-Both branch- ti of the congress moved slowly dur- h) the opening week of the short ses n while legislation was being whip- t I into shape, but they will get~down e actual work this week. a I'his program in the senate is some at uncertain, dependent upon a eting of the democratic steering mmittee tomorrow. Wbile the in- e rstate commerce committee is de erating on plans for e:pediting the esident's railroad legislative liro am, three measures are ready (or3 mediate consideration. They are e District of Columbia prohibition 11, immigration bill and corrupt , actices measure. Corript, practice legislation proba- 1 y will be displaced temporarily by ,e immigratior, bill in the senate to by and twith tjs sitegcy test prgha y will pass the senate, without pro nged discussion, despite the prob Aility that it may meet another residential veto. The prohibition bill r the District of Columbia is to be rged at every opportunity by Senator hoppard, leading the fight for the mocrats, apd Senator Kern, for ie republicans. Its passage by 'tle mnate before the March adjournment regarded as very probable. Senate democrats will caucus Wed esiay to choose a, successor to lenator Clarke as president pro tem ore, Senator Saulsbury, of Delaware, i the moat active candidate for the ,onor and his friends say he has nough'votes pledged to assure his lection. * The caucus will also con ider the legislative program. Proposed railway and high cost of ing legislation having been shelved or the presete by the house, that tranch probaliy will do little except -outwe work unti after the Christ nas recess. President Wilson's vocational edu sation bill, the first administration neasure to be considered at the pres mnt session. will be called up tomor row, and 'Chairman Hughes, of the ed ication committee, hopes that it will )ass before night. The purpose or the (neasure is to help state schools teach ing agriculture and trades by meeting teachers' salaries in part and estab ishing schools for the development of intructors in these branches. Little sposition is expected. - Chairman Lever, of the agriculture immittee, hopes to get his cotton andardization bill up this week. This easure, supported by the solid south Ad many members from other sec ons, was not reached last session, but is an early plaee on the calendar. Much routine business will be 'ansactaed before Christmas if Speak r Clark has his way. le has not bandoned his fight fori a shorter hristmas recess.
