Firemen's Union Officials Take Hold of Shovels NEW YORK, Nov. 27 Firemen in the grimy stokeholds of the steamship Olympic, sailing today for England, were joined by three officials of the National firemen's and sailors' union of Great Britain, who will help stoke by day and spend their mornings with first cabin passengers. The officials who came over last week on the Aquitania, are making the round trip to determine for the union the number of men necessary to man the boilers of oil burning vessels. Since the Cunard line substituted oil for coal on some of its ships the firemen have protested that an insufficient number of men are employed.

WILL WILSON

(Continued from Page One.) is uncertainty about the disposition of President Wilscn. Rightly or wrongly. Congress has come to feel that President Wilson la in an unreasonable mood, and that in his exercise of the veto power during

the coming session will be governed,!

i.ot merely by the freedom which he shares with them a a man about to leave public life, but by a petulant insistence of his own prerogative. Favor Restriction. For example, there can be no doubt that the present Congress is disposed to pass a drastic law restricting immigration. Congress is almost universally impressed with the belief that many countries of Europe, in the present state of economic chaos there, are taking advantage of the opportunity to get rid of undesirable elements iu their populations by facilitating their immigration to America. Several other reasons run toward the same end of excessive and largely undesirable immigration into the United State?. Taking account of all these reasons, Congress is disposed to check that immigration and to endeavor to pass legielation to that effect. But in considering this legislation Congress is impressed with a more or less hopeless apprehension that President Wilson will exercise his veto l ower in such a way as to defeat their

intentions. The other day a member

of congress who is on the committee that has charge of immigration matters, was approached by some repre

sentatives of labor unions, who laid before him the necessity for immigration restriction. He replied that he agreed with them wholly, and thnt they could rely on Congress to take the necessary action, but. he feared whatevr-r Congress should do might ba vetod by the President. A Veto That Discourages. Congress finds justification for this apprehension of President Wilson in his veto of the budget bill. Last May, just as Congress was ending its session, a budget bill was passed which was described as being, next to the federal reserve act, the most important piece of legislation passed since the civil war, and likely to do more loward introducing sound business and administration methods into the conduct of the government than any bill ever passed at any time. The support of this bill was almost unanimous. Dmocrtic leaders competed with Republican leaders in the heartiness of their indorsement and in their wish to facilitate its passage. But after Congress closed, President Wilson vetoed the bill and gave as the reason for his veto his disagreement with what the friends of the bill regarded as an unreasonably minute constitutional objection. The episode was discouraging to Congress and to the large number of earnest persons who are friends of the bill. Congress felt that President Wilson is less intent on getting something done to remedy the admitted chaos of the government's machinery than in maintaining a meticulous regard for his own pre

rogative. Mental Attitude. In Congress is right in this and if President Wilson retains this attitude.

Hip coming session will be less fruitful of good legislation than might readily be the case. It is largely a matter of mental attitude. If Congress and the President, both being free from the usual necessity of deferring to prejudices among the electorate, were disposed to cooperate, this coming session might be an extremely useful one. The source from whom the signal

! for this generous spirit ought to come

is obviously President Wilson. He has the more exalted position that makes such a gesture graceful. Also, the first

I move is his. He will open the coming I ression with the usual address. That

address will be his last message of the kind. If he has in him the spirit to do so, he might make that message not only historic but useful. The fear is, hovever, that he will be disposed

to make it more the former than the latter, more disposed to keep his Personal record straight for history than to help the people out of their piesent troubles. Wilt Not Chang. Of course It would be too much to expect the President at this closing hour to change his position on th ? league of nations, however, cleai it must be to others that his position on that point is disapproved by the people. Sut conceding him that, hmight say to Congress that he recognizes and admits the verdict of the election, and that as regards domestic matters he stands ready to facilitate ruther than hinder the intentions of

Congress. The second element that tends to make the coming session less fruitless In results Is the attitude of some Republican leaders. These leaders take the position that the country has expressed its disapproval of the present administration and its thorough going wish for a new deal all around. Under these circumstances, this group of Republican leaders claims that the present short session should confine itself to merely routine matters and beyond that should merely mark time until March 4. The Republicans who hold this view are by no means alone. Some Disagree. Ther is another group of Republican leaders who think the coming session is a time for marked energy They think that the economic conditions are such as call for prompt action. They think .especially that th public should be given a sign of what is to be done along the lines of taxation, the tariff, and other factors effecting business. Several of these Republican leaders have a program something like the following: They think that President-elect Harding should announce his cabinet within the next two or three weeks, especially do they think that he should name his secretary of state and his cecretary of the treasury. They taka it for granted that the names of thes two appointees, if given to the public, would carry reassurance. They think

the names would carry reassurance by the confidence the public would have in the men themselves, and also by the sign which the public would get of what is to be the policy for thfuture as regards foreign relations and fiscal matters. Further than this, the Republican leaders believe that the finance committee of the senate should become active at once and should announce its policies in relation to the funding of the public debt changes in the tax laws, and the tariff.
