C. Dec. 4 The Boulder dam fight will be resumed in the senate at 3 o'clock n Wednesday, when the bill automatically comes up as the unfinished business, in conformity with an agreement reached at the close of the last session. Two new factors have been drawn Into the fray, one the report of the engineering board, sent to congress yesterday, and the other the reference of President Coolidge to Boulder dam in his annual message read to congress today. It is notable that two widely different interpretations are placed on the findings of the board and on the president's own words. Senator Johnson, who has some of the outstanding traits of a poker player, blandly declares that both the report of the board and the comment of the president constitute strong endorsements of his bill In substantially Its present form. Willing to Concede Only That Appropriation Is Too Small. About all he Is willing to concede is that the amount named in his bill Is too small, and he Is disposed to overcome that error by Increasing the authorized appropriation from $135,000,000 to $176,000,000. And he might accept a few other minor amendments. But In the main he insists that his bill is stronger than ever because of the new "endorsements" which have been given it.

Con gress was given an actual start on Its work today with the receipt of President Coolldge's annual recommendations for legislation and immediately many of the old fighting issues of the last session and of the last campaign were rushed headlong into foremost positions. A new farm bill, without the equalization fee principle, was introduced by Senator Republican, of Oregon, who said it dovetailed with the president's recommendations. It would create a farm board to aid in handling the crop surplus. The Kellogg peace treaty, calling upon the world to renounce war as a part of national policy, was submitted to the senate, with a plea by the president that it be ratified before4. he retires from office next March A place has been made for it on the foreisra relations committee's calendar for early action. President Comments on Boulder Dam Project. Boulder dam came In for comment by the president, and no sooner had his message been read, than Senator Phipps started a move to amend the n bill in such a way as he believed would meet expert and presidential requirements. The house ways and means mittee hastened away soon after the house had listened to the president's message and voted to hold hearings beginning January 7 on tariff revision. It asked that its life be extended after March 4 so that It could continue the task during the summer. The range of legislative activity covered many other subjects, although neither senate nor house helde extended sessions. After the message had been read, both adjourned out of respect for members who had died in recent months,, but in committee rooms as well as cloak rooms business actually was well under way. a Some new legislative subjects, on the floors, later which may appear were outlined in the senate and house office buildings. The naval committee of the house placed itself on record as desirous of having the naval ratio between the United EMPIRE AGAIN 1 Session and Late Campaign Rushed in First Positions. t B Mil fate eritmnc The Weather UP). A contro- versial equalization fee was given to the senate today, but Republican leaders still were pondering whether to attempt to obtain Its passage in the closing days of the Coolidge administration or to await the extra session promised by Herbert Hoover for this problem if it is necessary. Chairman McNary of the senate agriculture committee, the coauthor of the twice vetoed McNary-Hauge- n bill, sponsored the new farm relief measure which, except for being shorn of the provisions, resembles the old proposal. Federal Farm Board of Sis Members Promoted. Establishment of a federal farm board of six members to be appointed by the president with the advice and consent of the senate would be provided by the new measure. A revolving fund of f300.000.000 would be given the board with which to finance, through loans, stabilization corporations composed of cooperative marketing associations and producers. The corporations would be used for the purchase of surplus crops In order to prevent a glutting of the market and of prices. Whether or not the bill, which Senator McNary indicated has the approval of the coolidge administration, is to be pressed for action at this session appears to hinge on a fight between Republicans who want to leave the question to the Hoover administration which will come Into power with increased Republican strength in congress. Back of the row among party leaders is a rumor from farm organizations who fought President Coolidge in his opposition to the McNary-Hauge- n bill that these groups would prefer to leave the inauguration of a new farm relief move entirely In the hands of the Incoming president. This view apparently is being taken by some of the Hoover leaders, m- l(Continued on (Column Pf Pin.)

A re- affirmation of his position on the big problems of the 'day and a host of lesser questions was sent to congress today by President Coolidge in a message which will prove his valedictory so far as annual communications on the state of the Union are concerned. With the end of his administration only three months away and with many members of the house and senate already tuning their ears to what the incoming chief executive may have to say, the president detailed his views on a number of subjects and on one, the Kellogg peace treaty, expressed the hope it would be ratified before his retirement from office. Deals With Farm Relief, Taxation and Other Questions. Besides this proposal, he dealt specifically with farm relief, taxation and economy, naval construction, waterways, commerce. Boulder canyon, Muscle Shoals and other problems. He wound up the message with an admonition to the country to bear in mind that "the era of prosperity'' he ascribed to the United States could easily be lost without "unremitting toil" to maintain it. The message no sooner had been read in both houses of congress before a number of members issued statements, some praising and others taking exception to his views. Those to prsise were Republicans in most instances, and those who found fault were of the opposition party. Regarding one of the outstanding questions which is agitating leaders at the capitol tariff revision the president wss silent, while on another leading question farm relief his recommendations were in line with those of previous years. President Silent On Tariff Revision, The president's communication was transmitted by special messenger to the two houses of congress. In the senate it was read by John C. Crockett, the reading clerk, while in the house this was done by William Tyler Page, veteran chief clerk of that body. In the message, Mr. Coolidge. without mentioning any particular proposal by name, recommended that congress pass a bill to construct a dam for Irrigation, flood control and water purposes on the Colorado river "which will protect the rights of the states, discharge the necessary government functions and leave the electrical field to private enterprise." He also suggested the lease of Muscle Shoals for the production of (Continued on Past fire.) (Column Two.) Tnrte.)
