Washington, Deo. 2J. (WASHINQ
TOW BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL.)
The most significant political event
since the voters decided the presidency
on November 7 was the vote in the
United States senate In the election of
a president pro tempore.
, This significance rests, not In the
eloctlon Of Senator Wlllard Saulsbury
of Delaware, although Ms unanimous
selection by the Democratic caucus
'showed the get-together proclivities
of thd majority party. More signifi
cant was the little Insurrection of
Progressive Republicans, led by Sen
ator La Follette, which netted him
five votes for Senator Moses E. Clapp
of Minnesota, asja protest against the
action of the olI guard In putting- up
Senator Galllnger. of New Hampshire
as the Republican candidate.
A regressive Group.
The vote "disclosed the fact that
there remains in the senate a deter
mined group of Progressive Republi
cans who reserve the right to act for
themselves and were not willing to
be placed in the position of support
ing Senator Galllnger, even in a com
plimentary way. Their compliments
were reserved for a Progressive.
- The five votes for Clapp were cast
by Borah of Idaho, Cummins and Ken
yon of Iowa, La Toilette Of Wlscon-
' sin and Norrls of Nebraska. All five
will lie members of the next senate.
Cl&pft himself was absent from the
chamber. Senator Polndexter of Wash
ington, who is usually allied with the
progressive group, wss not recorded
on the ballot, although on a previous
vote when,

senator voted for Galllnger.
Thus, at the first purely party
division in the senate since the "re
union" of the Republican party was
proclaimed at Chicago, the Republi
cans were split on the same old liner,
the eld guard commanding 22 votes
for Oalllnger, the progressives five
for Clapp. The spirit of protest against
old guard domination is apparently as
healthy as ever.
Situation la the House.
Significance IS also seen in the fact
that Borah was one of the dissenters.
. The Idaho senator has ordinarily been
for party regularity, but he scented
danger in voting for Galllnger. This
is held to indicate tnat Borah mean
to keep in position where he cannot
be reproached by the, progressives
when the next great struggle com
for control of the Republican party
and the search for a presidential can
didate li on. , .
.Another point in the senate revolt
iav. the bearing it may have on the
organisation of the next house of rep
resentatives. If the Republicans have
nominal -control of thet body, as tbev
claim, a very small fraction will be
sufficient to upset it. James R. Mann,
.the Republican leader and heir-apparent
to the speakership, is of the same
type as Galllnger. If the progressive
Republicans of the senate will not
.have Galllnger, will the progressiva
element in the house be content with

While this note of progressive pro
test was being sounded in the senate,

They come not with apologies, he ex

leaders is to let things drift along
for a while. They cling to the theory
they cherished in the campaign, that
there may come a "revulsion of feel
lng" from the president, and such
a turn, they assume themselves, will
one more give them the power, with
out the necessity of making any
hasty concessions to the progressives.
Ths Seven-Hour Day.
Twenty-eight thousand federal em
ployes in .the District of Columbia out
of 85,000 In the district, and out of
about 478.000 aU told in the United
States, are favored with a seven-hour
day.
This concession- to the clerical force
at Washington produces a charge of
about $6,000,000 a year more than
would be. the case If all government
employes were on. an eight-hour day.
Such was the showing made by Con
gressman Borland of Missouri, who
is perhaps , ths most unpopular man
in congress with the. government
clerks, in making his annual fight for
a general eight-hour day for federan
employes. As usual he failed in his
effort to add an -hour to the time of
the clerks in Washington, this time
by a vote of 4 to 86.
"Ths merchants and landlords of
Washington are the ones who event
ually get , this money," said Borland.
"To be perfectly plain about it, ,w
are riving a 15.000.000 slice of porlf
to the merchants and landlords of the
District of Columbia, They are the
ones who exert pressure - upon con
cress to perpetuate this condition.
"Those in mechanical employment
in the district must work eight hours
a day. Employes at the ordnance fac
tory aKa the printing plant work
eight hours, about 7000 of them. The
28.000 clerks, who. are closest to con
gross and, in position to exert th
greatest : influence, are ths ones fa
vored with the seven-hour day.
"Tet the clerks themselves are not
the ones who would complain the most
of working - for ths same length of
time as government employes else
where work. The main pressure is
from the huslneS Interests of which
I have spoken.
"This condition limits ths affect
iveness of the departments. It af
feet a every man who comes to Wash
lngton for the -transaction of business.
I have auit trying to Justify It, ana
X say that we should put ths employes
here on the same basis as employe?

The house listened patiently to Bor
land. It had heard the same thine;
before. No one answered bis argu
ment and the vote was Quickly taken.

SPECIFIED SETBACK IS

Revision Committee Will Sub
mit Amendment to Housing
Code to Commsision,
Limiting all buildings erected in
the future to eight stories, or 110 feet
in height, except where additional
height is set back according to a
stipulated scale, is ths recommenda
tion the committee on ths revision of
the Portland building and housing
code will submit to Commissioner
Dleck for action by the council.
Tti recommendation provides that
.ftr the eiirhth story Is reacnea
every additional four feet in height
on street lines must be accompanied
with one foot of set-back. This pro-
eeass of going above the limit recom
mended is made to allow proper space
for air and light; and also to regulate
to some extent the height or buna
lnn tinder the recommended ordi
nance a building occupying a city
block could continue to a height ot
610 feet, at which height It would end
in a steeple point.
At the same time the commutes ree
ommends that all buildings that follow
the pyramid construction for gaining
addition height shall be absolutely fire
proof in construction.
The present oode allows buildings or
200 feet in height, and a practice has
been established of allowing additional
stories by special permit. The tallest
buildings in tn city have been con
structed by special permit.
Tho committee expects that tha rec
ommendation will bring out discussion
on the question of regulating the
height of buildings to eight stories.
Tha personnel of the committee Is
