DEMOCRATS DETERMINE
ON POLICY IN SENATE
Caucus Decides to Press
Minority Measures.
NO IR0NcLAD AGREEMENT
United Support on Party Measures Not
Resolved Upon-Meeting
Satisfactory.
NO IRoNcLAD AGREEMENT

Democratic Senators held another long
caucus this morning in the conference
room of Senator German. Plans for de-
Gliding on party policy were considered
at great length, and much progress was
made in bringing various Senators into
harmony on the Democratic policy in
general.
1t was determined TO take up as =ocn
as practicable the various resolutions
recently introduced by prominent Sena-
tors on the minority side and to press
them as party measures. The caucus
could not agree, however. upon the plan
which the leaders are so anxious TO see
adopted Of binding every Democratic
Senator to the support OF any measure
favored by a two-thirds vote of the
Democratic membership OF the Senate.
On the whole, however. today's caucus
was by all odds the most satisfactory
meeting the Democrats have held this
session.
