SEPTEMBER 9, What Congress Has Accomplished During Its Nine Months of Session; Nearly Two Billion Dollars Appropriated; Highest Mark Ever Reached; 1916. Summary of Most Important Action Taken and Measures Made Laws Washingten, Sept/ 8.—Th= session of the Sixty-fourth congress, which adjourns today, was concerned chiefly with national defense. 'Y‘.(Cm er, "n T e e first _tbu‘hinl filed with the county clerk as soon When the gavel fell congress had directed reorganization and equip- ment of the army and navy defense of the country at the unprecedented cost of $655,000,000 with authoriza- tions that will Increase the total in three years to nearly $800,000,000. With all other expenditures, appro- priations were brought to the grand total of $1,637,583,682, the greatest aggrcggte in the cauntrr's history and exceeding that for the last fiscal year by more than a billion dollars. Expenditures, necessitated by ‘pre- paredness and the calling into action of military forces to ‘meet the Mexi- can emergency demanded revenue legislation in the clasing days of the sespion. Congress responded by doubling t'ie normal tax on incomes, creating an inheritance tax, munitions tax and miscellaneous excise taxes to raise $205,000,000 and by directing sale of $130,000,000 Panama canal bonds. New Boafds and Commissions. Congress establishea a tariff com- mission; a government ship-building | board" to rehabilitate the American merchant marine; a Workman's Com- pensation commission to administer a ‘new uniform compensation law;.a farm loan banking system; a child labor law; enlarged the system of self-government in the - Philippines and enacted many other important laws which had geen contemplated by the administration. i The session was disturbed through- out by frequently recurrinf threats of foreign complications from the European war and imminence at one time of a diplomatic Germany; interference with American mails 'ahd commerce, ' invasion~ of American .soil and killin? by Mexi- can bandits, and danger of actual war with Mexico. Crisis with Germany. The crisis in congress over the international, situation followed [Ger- order to sink armed belligerent merchant | ships Wwithout resolu- Americans to keep off armed merchantmen caused Presi- dent Wilson to halt diplomatic nego- tiations and go to the capitol to de- mand a showdown, The result was many's naval warning.

Immediately afterward the president sent to Germany and read to congress a note theratening to sever diplomatic relations unless the German government “immedi ately effected a modification of methods of submarine warfare,” . Later in the session trouble arose | in the senate over the nomination of | Louis D. Brandeis of Boston to suc- ceed the late Justice Lamar as a member of the.supreme court. Weeks of investig: and deliberation' by the judiciary committee ended in con- majority. - Held Up by Labor Troubles. In the week before adjournment congress was occupied with the legis- lation which prevented a threatened nation-wide railroad strike, Presid Wilson, aftet futile negotiations wi officials ofuthe railro d railroad brotherhoods, submitted the contro- versy to congress, recommending legislation to prevent the strike and to rrevtm such emergencies from arising, n the future. 5 5 After a week of considera ing which the president v capitol daily, conferring with adminis- tration leaders, a bill was pasded to establish an eight-hotur day as a basis for pay of, railroad workers, the pres- say for ten hours’-work ced and the men to re- prevent dumping o ent rate of not. to be re Rubber medical accessories.
