FIGHTS AT HOME 10 HU PUCES HALTS CONGRESS Primaries and Elections Are More Important to Legislators Than Law Making. SCANT QUORUM IS PRESENT House May Be Compelled to Take Another Recess Because of Absentees. By United y&c* WASHINGTON, Aug. 23. —With the greatest industrial crisis in the Nation’s history awaiting action. Congress is running on very low gear. Remaining primaries and fast approaching general elections have brought a situation both in the House and Senate whereby consideration of the Nation’s legislative business is almost a farce. Though the House reconvened a week ago, there was not even a quorum present until Monday, and Monday’s and Tuesday’s roll-calls revealed a scant sufficiency to transact business. The Senate becessed Saturday until Wednesday because It would have been impossible to muster a quorum in the upper branch, and it is doubtful if there will be much more than a quorum present when transaction of business is resumed Wednes day. A further recess may be held advisable. The reason is that members of both branches and both parties have enough “tight” primary or election contests on their hands to make it advisable for them to remain at home campaigning. Because of this fact any member who ventures to suggest absence of a quorum, is leaped upon by leaders of both sides, and, without a quorum, 'of course, no business can be transacted. PLAN NEW MARKET Growers Organize to Find Outlet for Products. Within the next few weeks the Indianapolis Growers Cooperative Association will organize to carry out plans for a $200,000 market solely for the use of local vegetable growers, according to Edward F. Holt, as attorney representing the growers. The new market, according to Holt, will result from the inability of truck gardeners to obtain selling space at th" city market, which has made it necessary, he said, for more than 40 per cent of the market gardeners to sell their produce to the commission men. No announcement has been made regarding the location of the market.

You Can Double Your Money Not over night—but it is true that money at 6% doubles itself iri 12 years. Suppose you can save $5,000 by the time you are 35, and allow this to work for you, undisturbed—at 47 you will have $10,000; at 59, $20,000, thus assuring your financial independence, even if you do not save another cent. THIS IS THE POINT: The saving you do while you are young has a longer time to work for you tljau the savings in later life. Think it over.

CONGRESS CAUSES liNf INDIVIDUAL REVOLTS! PARTI Myer London's Refusal to Run in New York Emphasizes Odd Situation. e ROBERT J. BKMDER United News Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.—Congressman Myer London, New York, lone Socialist representative in the lower branch of Congress, probably will not run for renornination or reelection. according to his friends The fact brings to light the unusual number of prominent members of the national Legislature, who. for one reason or another, have left or are leaving its chambers voluntarily. In the case of London, he is said to have resolved that his efforts % in Washington are futile —a voice lost In a wilderness, as it were. Senator Kenyon, who resigned to accept a Federal judgeship, was more i or less of like opinion in regard to | himself. Congressman Knight of Ohio, who j recently quit his seat after defeat for | the Ohio gubernatorial nomination, ; felt that to fight for one's convictions j was to smash at a stone wall in Con- ; gress. Senator Meyers, Democrat, Montana, who is not seeking re-election ; and who was never a dyed-in the-wool j follower of the Democratic party pro- j gram, is said by his friends to have j this same feeling. The situation is interesting as perhaps emphasizing a state of mind first revealed in the bloc and personal revolts in the House and Senate against so called party steam-rolling. It always has been the expectation —whether the party in power be Democratic or Republican—that on party measures all Congressmen and Senators vote strictly along party lines. Since the last elections, however, there has been increasing evidences of revolt against this practice.
