WASHINGTON, February 2 The Re-
pub,icsns have decided that it would be
extremely unsafe to permit the question
of Reds righ; to make quorum go to
hs courts. At first they we're disposed to
ridicule the idea that the courts could in
tervene, but several OF the Senators, men
versed in constitutional law, have advised
them that it would be risky to submit TO
the test. Hence, the Republicans have de-
termined to have
QUORUM OF THEIR OWN
members here to cast the final vote on the
Smith Jackson contest.
Urgent orders have been sent to sll nb-
sentees TO be in their seats to morrow
Some OF the Republicans admit that Reeds
forced quorum would not stand legal
test. Most of his announcements have
been yeas, 100; nays, none, six short of q
quorum. HIS addition OF names of those
present as beiDg present and not voting is
of no legal force
The Republicans want to force vote on
the jackson case tomorrow, but will
probably be delayed until Tuesdsy. They
cannot keep quorum here, and on the
next contested case all the fighting of the
past wetk will again be gone over. As it
now stands the Republicans concede that
they must have an sctusl quorum to
finally decide each and every contest.
The elections committee goes right ahead
hearing arguments and will grind out re-
ports to order. As they have allowed Nc
Ginnis so much time they will press the
Perdletoa case rs soon as possible sfier the
conclusion of that now pending. The con-
clusion of the Republican msragers that
they need quorum to decide contests has
cast dsmpsr upon the epirits of half a
dozsn or more loungsrs Of the capitol who
are waiting TO be installed into seats be
longing to Democrats.

rsctora think the time is ripe fJr eight
hour work, and that it is just SIS well to
grant it roW as any other time O.hers
think the contractors should declare
against eight hours and stend by the dec
lsrations. The convention didn't take a
stand one way or the other, but lefG the
question Just where it hss been + years
The oonst querce.. will be that carpenters
in one city will work eight hours, in
another ten, and in still another nine
hours. The resolution 10 pay by the
hour will probably not amount TO very
much, although g great deal was expected
from it when it was passed. The men
working eight hours will wand as much
money as they get for working ten hours.
