Reading; of Bills in Full When Or
dered From Committee . Blocks
Legislation Opposition Is
United In Plan.
WASHINGTON, Dec 20. Further re
vision of th rules of tha House of Rep
resentatives is contemplated by tha in
surgent members. Conferences were
held today to determine the form of
amendments that are to be offered.
The Insurgents ar not satisfied with
th manner in which the new rule, giv
ing the House power to discharge a com
mittee from the consideration of a bill.
waa administered when Its first trial oc
curred yeaterday. This rule sras pro
cured after a hard fight last session to
provide the means whereby a bill could
be brought before the House when a
committee refused to report It or de
layed too long in acting upon It.
Speaker Cannon ruled yesterday that
th postal reorganisation bill should be
read In full when the motion waa made,
to brine it before tha House. Less than
one-fourth of the bill could be read yes
terday; and at the same rate It will tako
at least three more days to nnisn tne
reading. A this business Is recognised
only -every first and third Monday of
the month, all motiona of a like char
arter will be delayed almost two months
before the motion finally is put to the
House as to whether the postal bill snail
be considered.
The Insurgents declare this Is a re
straint of business which can be easily
remedied by a small change In th rule.
They propose to offer another amend
ment that will require only the reading
of tha title of the bill.- when the motion
Is made to discharge the committee and
to bring It before th House.
Further than this, the Insurgents pro
pose another amendment to limit the de
bate that can be had on bills on the
calendar. They think too much time is
given to unimportant measures and that
business will b grestly expedited If
such an amendment Is offered.
It haa not been dutermlned what
member shall Introduce th new amend
ments: but the Insurgent KepuDiican,
practically are united on their plans.
They do not expect a fight In having
thes change made.
