HOLDS HOUSE RULES NECESSARY
Otherwise, Says Representative From
Ohio, Business Would Be at Stand
still and Needed Legislation Delayed.

Representative. Shattuc of Ohio takes
issue with Representative Cushman OF
Washington. who recently delivered a
philippe upon the rules of the House. and
criticises him especially for his remarks
concerning the Speaker. General Shattuc,
who is always positive and emphatic in
his expressions, discussed the matter
with number of members yesterday.
''It is a shameful piece of business" he
said. "fcr anyone to assault the Speaker
with reference TO the action Of the Com
nittee on Rules. Whoever does such a
thing knows that he is taking advantage
and attempting TO strike where the man
against whom the blow is aimed cannot
strike back.
Everybody knows, or should know,
that the Speaker cannot get upon the
floor and defend his action. He is COM
PEELED to keep his mouth closed. no mat
ter whatever is said. and no matter how
thoroughly without foundation these as
persions may be.
Needs No Defense
Il don't believe that 1t is necessary for
anyone to defend the Speaker. His course
is its own defense. He is not Speaker
for one section of the country OF one
State, but for the whole nation. He must
watch carefully the interests Of all the
people. and he certainly cannot be ex-
pected TO devote all his time or give his
undivided attention TO any one district or
any one part Of this nation.
1T is possible that nearly everybody
in the House may think he could make a
successful Sneaker, but there is a great
deal OF difference between thinking SO and
actually making a success of 1t.
Speaker Henderson has made sue
cess Of il. He gives thought to every
proposition tending to the welfare of the
whole country. and ! want to say that
when a man does that he has got his
hands full and his mind busy.
Business Would Stand Still.
IL would like to know what sort of a
House We would have If these fellows who
talk about arbitrary rulings and one-man
power and all that sort of rot could do
away with the Committee on Rules and
inaugurate the town-meetlng style in Con-
gress?
1T would be absolutely impossible TO get
any business transacted at all. Everybody
would be on his feet at every session Yell
ing his lungs out for recognition. and
the fellow who could do tie jumping jack
act the quickest. or could yell the loud
est. would be the man who would get his
measure through.
An this talk of revolt Is simply nom
sense. The House, as now constituted,
working under the operation of the au-
thority of the Speaker TO grant recogni-
ton TO measures which he is sat-
ishcd arc for the good OF the peo-
pie. with the Committee on Rules to fall
back on to bring in rules for expediting
measures or great Importance, is GER
tainly able TO do busine ss, and no sensible
man, when he understands the situation, is
going TO make any Kick against the
Speaker or the Committee on Rules, un-
less he wants 10 get his name in the pa
pers or wants to make himself obnoxious
lv prominent"

"wherever there is war of conquest

The CHIEF danger is not the injury to the

predicted by the Associated Press cor respondent, six delegations refrained from attending the session by way of protest. viz: Peru, Argentine. Bolivia, Paraguay, Venezuela and santo Domin- go.
 The approval of the project for the exchange of the publications was the business transacted att this morning session.
 It is believed that the arbitration dif- ficulty has finally been disposed of. though it is uncertain now the Chileans will act. The solution is to consist in the suppression of the final protocol for which purpose a modification of the rules of the conference will be necessary. For this purpose a two-thirds vote will be needed, but 1t Is already practically as- sured.
 The suppression of the final protocol is the only concession that will be made to the Chileans. Its significance is simply that the treaties approved by the confer ence will only bear the signatures of the delegations who adopt them. The final protocol would have to bear the sigma lures of all the delegations without ex- ception, and it would be a resume of all the treaties concluded by the conference, including that of compulsory arbitration, signed by ten delegations Therefore, as the Chilieans would have had to sign the final protocol with the other delegations, they would have been placed in position of indirectly sanctioning the plan of com, pulsory arbitration. Now, however, if the final protocol is abolished, this dif- ficulty will be overcome, and 1t is held that the Chileans will be evincing excess sive sensitiveness if they persist in with drawing.
 One of them, when asked tonight by the Associated Press correspondent what they would do if tho compulsory plan went to the conference in the above form, said that his delegation would act ac- cording to circumstances and instruc- tions He denied that they had ever threatened to withdraw Chile's legation from Mexico.
