The only important piece of work standing in the way of adjournment which will occur tomorrow or possibly late to day was the smoothing out of dif ferences between the house and sen ate on the revenue bill. iThis bill went to conference to day as soon as the house had gone through the formality of appoint'ng its conferees. It is believed the house will adopt most of the recom mendations of the senate, including those for retaliation against allied trade. The revenue bill, designed to raise ;205,000,000 annually from taxes or inheritances and war munitions and from increases in the income tax; creating a tariff omission; testab- 1 tuning a protective tariff . on dye s.tl,flf,; provid'ng for protection of American firms from "dumping" at the end of the war; and giving the president authority to take drastic retaliatory steps against allied inter ference with American trade was passed last night by the senate. The vote was 42 to 16. .Eliminating the usual formalities in order to insure adjournment of congress by Thursday at the latest, the senate rushed the measure, the last on the administration legislative program, immediately to conference. Five Republican senators, Cum mins, Kenyon, LaFollette, Norris and Clapp voted for the bill. The sen ate conferees appointed were Sum mons, Williams, Hoke Smith, Hughes, Penrose, Smoot and McCumber Tha senate was in session until I after midnight. It practically had Cotton i completed the bill earlier VuT toward lee" slation. c . i . it ii the Federal amendment was "usuany advocated chiefly as a means or sav ig time and labor; in a word, a 'short-cut' to woman suffrage. tM'ss Clay gave a brief review of the history of Constitutional amend ments in order to indicate, she said, that fighting for suffrage now through seeking national legislation was "difficult and precarious."

"Have we not now reached a point where we can stop these minor attacks on our opponents' right and left w.ngs and march our forces straignc up io the congressional trenches where the main body of the enemy lies conceal ed?"

Wlhen it has been pass ed by both Houses of Congress, how ever, the fight has only just begun. Not a woman will be franchised un til it is ratified by three-fourths of all 'the state organizations. Of course' we must go on working as hard as ( ever if we want to secure the passage . of the Federal amendment, but at the , same time we must try to win new , States and to prepare the states f or . ratification.

Before it can become law it must be ratified by the legislature of thirty-six states. It is hardly to be supposed that the coerced states now will subscribe voluntarily to a nrineinal which they rejected tor- nn state ors-anizat ons, working in merly. Nothing but coercion made Congressional d'stricts was not suf the Fifteenth amendment posslDte; and what reason have we to sup pose that anything less than coercion will pass the Anthony amendment? "In fact, I believe it is usually ad rmttpd hv those most zealous to push that amendment at any cost that coercion will be necessary; and as military coercion is no longer among the possibilities, they propose a political coercion by the votes of women who have won them by the nonfihlfi method in conformitv to the well-defined limitations oelvveen state and federal powers.
