F1LIBUsTERING PROGRAMMES.
The Are organizing to
Block the Wheels of, Legislation-

Washington, D.. c.. February ss.-The
democrats of the house have called a
caucu for tomorrow to act upon the
flibustering programme which the DEM
ucratic leaders have decided upon for
the remainder of the session. Yester-
day when the majority of the elections
committee presented a report in favor
of u~nseating Mr.. Butler. OF Missouri,
Wagner. the democratic leaders at the
request OF the democrats of the Mis-
souri, delegation served notice on the
republican leaders that If an attempt
was made to call Up the case for action
they would do everything in their pow
err 70 block the wheels of legislation
until March 4. No reply was given, but
Il truce was patched up during h
afternoon upon the understanding that
a response would be given this after
noon. Shortly before adjournment to-
day, Speaker Henderson notified Mr,
Richardson the minority leader that the
ease would be called up tomorrow.
Tnereupon the call for the democratic
caucus was issued. The democrats are
organizing for a fight TO a finish.
While their action probably will not
~jeODardize any of the appropriation
bills, if they stick to their programme
of demanding a roll call on every pro-
| position and insisting upon the presence
Of a quorum. they can greatly embar-
rass the majority and defeat the minor
measures which would otherwise pass.
