To fhc Democratic Members Of tie House:
There will be Democratic caucus
held in the hall OF the house on to-mor-
row, Tuesday, August Z AZ 3 o'clock

The call was in response to petition
signed by fity-three members OF tho

resentatives Springer, Mcguire and
-Capehart The petition had been cir
culated by Mr.. Bynum. OF the Ways
and Means Committee, and the success
OF the move was secured within half an
hour from the time the petition was
started.
INTENSE FEELING WAS DEVELOPED
As soon rs the caucus move began.
Members gathered In the Hobbies and
talked excitedly for and against the
caucus. Representatives Strauss, War.
ner and others friendly 10 the admin
istration denounced 1t as "nrs in the
rear"
Neither Speaker Crisp nor Chairman
Wilson had been consulted as to the
caucus and II was recognized as directly
In opposition to their wishes.
Representative Strauss, 9 close friend
OF Mr.. Wilson, expressed the opinion
that the caucus would prove boom
erang. He believed Mr.. Wilson and
the other conferees and their friends
would attend the caucus aud undertake
10 carry II. With such men as Speaker
Crisp, Chairman Wilson, BoJrxe Cock
ran, and others urging loyalty to the
House conierees, Mr.. Strauss did not
think an antagonlstIc. resolution would
pass.

make no concealment OF the fact that
the caucus is for the purpose OF ending
the contest by accepting the Senate
bill.
Within fifteen minutes from the time
the caucus petition was circulated 6fty
members had signed and the caucus be-
came a certainty. Members who had
not wanted to sign last week were now
anxious TO DO SO.

fsrees 10 take tne Senate bill, will not
amount 10 anything. The men who got
