Wilson seeks rapid action on legislative program in adjournment push
President Wilson urged Majority Leader Kitchin to speed up House work and arrange talks with leaders across chambers as Congress eyes adjournment before party conventions. Kitchin said delays unlikely, with action expected soon on appropriations and other bills, though Senate debates on defense, shipping, tariff and revenue may slow progress. The forecast highlights tariff commission, shipping and Philippines bills, with no new waterways or public building measures likely soon. The revenue problem remains under study after the Supreme Court upheld the income tax law, with details to follow after a midwestern trip.
