THE STAR
POMERENEW
BILL TO BE FOUGHT
Effort Predicted to Substitute
Rival Johnson.
Measure.
The Pomerene anti-profiteering rent
bill, which the Senate yesterday affixed
as a rider to the emergency agricul
tural appropriation bill, will be un
der heavy fire in the House. There is a
strong possibility that an effort will
be made to substitute the more drastic
Johnson anti-profiteering bill In be
lower house.
Chairman Johnson of the House Dis
trict committee, author of the rival
anti-profiteering bill, who led the
fight against the Pomerene measure
in the House some months ago, is at
his home in Bardstown, Ky., for a
few days. It Is known, however, that
he is an implacable opponent of the
Pomerene measure. It is expefcted he
j will marshal his support in the*House
against allowing the Pomerene bill to
be carried through as a rider.
Predicts Support of Johnson.
Representative Crosser of Ohio,
ranking member of the House Dis
trict committee, said today that he
feels sure Mr. Johnson will carry on
a. stiff fight against the Pomerene
bill, and that he will have strong
support from the House committee.
Mr. Grosser said it would be perfect
ly feasible to substitute the Johnson
bill, for which the members of the
House generally had declared their
preference.
Representative Lever of South Car
olina, chairman of the House agricul
tural committee. Is not at all pleased
with having his emergency appro
priation bill hampered by ? the Pome
rene amendment or any other rider.
He proposes to have a conference
with Chairman Johnson of the House
District committee as soon as the lat
ter returns from Kentucky. Mr. Lever
said also that he will hold confer
ences with members of the commit
tee on House agriculture to determine
the course of procedure with refer
ence to the Pomerene measure.
Leaders Oppose Riders.
The attitude of the leaders in the
House on both sides seems to be a
strong objection to any rider being put
upon war appropriation bills. They ap
preciate that Washington is suffering
from serious housing congestion, and
that advantage has been taken of the I
situation for extensive profiteering. They
say that some legislative action is neces
sary to serve tnose who are charging
extortionate prices for sale or rental of
real estate. They express the opinion,
however, that an anti-rent profiteering
bill should be decided on its own merits
and should not be rushed through as 1
a rider on an appropriation bill.
Friends of the Pomerene measure, i
however, are endeavoring to gain
! support in the House, and there was
some evidence today that members
are being influenced by the feeling
that the profiteering question in
Washington in such that legislation
j should be put through in any way
possible to get speedier congres
sional action. Some members argued
I that the Pomerene measure is es
j sentially a war measure, even as is
the. emergency agricultural bill, and
they say that if it-is not put through
as a rider on an appropriation bill it
stands scant chance of receiving con
sideration in the House for some
time. In order to get quick action,
they say that a number of House
members may agree to the Pomerene
J amendment.
AGUIMBU
Will INCREASE PA*
?
Conferees Agree Upon Measure,
With Amendments to Advance
Compensation.
Thousands of employes in the De
partment of Agriculture will soon be
assured of the increase m salary which
j Congress intends them to have. The
j agricultural appropriation bill, carry
I ing this increase in salary with other
I allowances for new projects under the
j federal department, has been agreeil
j upon in conference between both
houses and is expected to be passed, at
least by the House, this afternoon.
This assurance was given 011 the
floor at the opening of the session to
day. Chairman Lever of the agricul
tural committee of the House asked
unanimous consent for the immediate
consideration of the* bill. He said
that the conferees had agreed upon
all provisions of the bill. He said
that it would take only about ten
minutes to pass it. ,
Chairman Sims of the special water
power committee was impatient to
continue consideration of that meas
ure nnd save the assurance that the
water-power bill would be passed to
day early enough to allcfc- time for
pass^are the agricultural appro
priation bill.
TO PLAY FOR CUE TITLE.
Kieckhefer to Defend at Angles
Against Otis.
NEW YORK. September 5.?The
first gun in the billiard campaign
will be fired in Chicago in two weeks,
when August Kieckhefer, the cham
pion at three cushions, will defend his
title against Chesebrough Otis of this
city. They will play 150 points in
f>loaks of fifty on the nights of Sep
tember IS, 19 and 20. In view of the
fact that the challenger, 'in his Ha
! vana match with De Oro. was defeat
ed by but a single point, the eastern
player is regarded as a dangerous
opponent for the present champion.
Kieckhefer lias shown himself to be
one of the ablest of the younger class
of billiardists and is a briHiant per
former. Otis, who will leave for Chi
cago next week to prepare for the
match, will on his return take the
management of a new billiard hall.
