Washington, March s.--Wdth perhaps
one or Two exceptions every member IN
the house feels that the confcrccs on the
permanent census bill, which was finally
approved by the president imposed on the
credulity Of the house when the statement
was made that section OF the bill was
substantially the same as when originally
passed by the house.
Investigation by the members, coupled
with President Rooscvclt's letter to the sec
Rotary Of the interior, discloses the fact
that section s as fixed up in conference is
exactly opposed 20 the expressed will NJ
the members and defeats the purpose Of
the house. which was that all the employees
in the census office at the time OF the pas
sage OF the act creating the permanent
census bureau should be converted into the
classified service and made eligible for
transfer to any branch of the classified
service in the government
According 70 the gossip among the dem
ocrats and republicans an attempt will be
made to correct the deception practiced on
the house by inserting provision in the
appropriation bill which will carry out the
will Of congress aud place the employees in
the census Office in the classified service as
intended when the permanent census bill
originally passed tho house.
Representative Sims, democrat, of Ten
ncssee, attempted to bring the census mat
ter up in the house today as question Of
privilege He declared vigorously that the
house had been misled and deceived by the
statement of the chairman of the census
committee Mr. Hopkins, and by the report
OF the conference committee.

the house had acted upon the matter that
