'ed’ discussion. Its adoption will bind democratic senators. + Ne attempt is to be made by lead-| “ers to outline a definite plan for leg- islation. Ome trusc bill is still in the; ju@iciary comanitiee, another in the hands of the Interstate Commerce n. is no prospect of | an early report on either, and leaders do not wigh to ask for action pupon a plan of legisiation matil these com- have acted. If developments later show that some democrats are ! wavering on the question of how far trust legisiation should go, another conference may be calied to agree on its outline k. H.

Moreover, the leaders are said to think that with the party formally agreed upon no adjournment until the leg- islation is passed, republican opposi- tion may he tempered, some of the doubts of the, committees may disap- pear and the bills may follow quickly on the heels of the trade commission bill now before the senate. -~ Some opposition to the resolution is expected from democrats who are known to hold radically different views from those of the president with regard to the needs of the hour for trust legislation. The adoption of the resolution is expected to expediate closing the ses- sion and it is predicted that unless debate on the three trust bills is un- usually long, adjournment may be taken before September 1.
