DISTRICT SUPPLY
Absences of Conferees Delay
Aotion on Appropriation
Until Next Week.
Du* to several absentees, including
Senator Bingham of Connecticut, Sen
ate and House conferees on the District
appropriation bill have decided to post
pone their meetings until early next
weelc
The decision was made late yesterday
following separate meetings of the two
groups. Senate Nye of North Dakota,
chairman of the Senate conferees in
the absence of Senator Bingham, and
Representative Cannon of Missouri,
House chairman, agreed upon the post
ponement.
Senator Bingham is attending the
Republican national convention at Chi
cago. As chairman of the Senate sub
committee, which increased the Federal
lump sum from $6,500,000 to $8,550,000.
he is expected to lead the fight for its
retention in the bill.
The two houses are widely split on
the lump sum item, but in recent years
the Senate has succeeded in increasing
the amount above the House figure.
The principal fight in connection with
the bill will be waged on this point,
with indications pointing at this time
to a substantial increase over the
$>,500,000 'figure which the House
Inerted.
The action of the conferees in post
poning consideration of the District
bill indicates also that Congress may
remain in session through next week.
An earlier date for adjournment would
necessitate a hurried call for the con
ferees to meet sooner.
