Chicago, Feb. 23—A special dii- patch to a local paper from Washingf- ton says: “With practical assurance given the president that four of his administrii- tion measures are to be passed by congréss a peculiar situation has de- veloped, full of danger to the ultimate success of these laws. “It is asserted on excellent author- ity that congress is prepared to pass a postal savings bank bill which will not, be constitutional, in the hope thzit it will be knocked out at an early date by the supreme court. Such a deteir- mination rests not with.the men wha have, up to-this time, been favorable ‘to postal savings legislation, but’ with the new supporters who have been swung into line by demands of the president that such a law be passed. “This latter element includes, first of all, Senator Aldrich and those asso- ciates of his in the senate who are known to be thoroughly opposed to postal savings bank systems as a part of the country’s financial- structure. Aldrich has given the president assur- ances that the postal savings bank bill will be passed and it is known now that this legislation will be en- acted at no distant date. Insurgents May Oppose Bill. “It may be one of the anomalies of the situation, however, that Western senators, including the strongest of insurgents, will be compelled in the end to vote against the bill which the Aldrich and Cannon forces are deter- mined to pass. . - “It is.difficult to appreciate the full significance of the legislative situation into which the president’s measures have drifted. From .a programme more ambitious than any advocate of progressive legislation dared to hope could be carried out the president has concentrated upon a quartette of bills ‘which he hopes to have: enacted. “Opponents of those so called Roose- velt policiés, to which Mr. Taft has brought vigorous support, have been swept off their feet by the demand I Study club, was.received by a highly ajp- from the nation that some effective action has been taken, They have dillydallied along, obstructing and ob- jecting, in the hope that they would have to move only a little in the end. But they have found the country sus- picious of delay and wholly devoid of any disposition to forget the history. of the tariff bill and the tariff session.” DEPARTMENT STORE. BURNS Fire Imperils Much Other Property at Milwaukee.

OFFER MAY SETTLE TROUBLE AT BUTTE Engineers Agree to Enter Info Contract With Mine Owners, Butte, Mont., Feb. 23—President ‘Walter Shay of the International En- gineers’ union has addressed a com- munication to John .
