SURPRISES THE HOUSE
SPEAKER CANNON DECIDES
AGAINST COMMITTEE ON RULES.

The almost undear-of procedure of
Speaker Cannon Overr1lling his own COM
mittee on rules caused surprise in the
House of Representatives today. Through
Mr.. Dalzell (Pennsylvania), the commit
tee reported the following resolution. pro-
viding for an investigation into the SUBJ
ject of peonage:
Resolved, That the immigration COM
mission be requested to make an investi
cation into the treatment and conditions
of work of immigrants on the cotton plan
tations of the Mississippi delta in the
states of Mississippi and Arkansas, and
upon the turpentine farms lumber camps
and railway camps in the states of Flori-
da. Mississippi, Louisiana and other
southern states, and to report thereon at
early a day possible.
Mr. Mann. Illinois. objected that the re-
port was not privileged
The committee rules reported il,
responded Mr.. Dalzell
Oh drawled out Mr. Mann. 'the COM
mittee on rules cannot make everything.
And he added that in his opinion the COM
mittee on rules had nothing to do with
the proposition anyway. as it directed an
investigation and did not relate to the or
ganiZation of the House.
Speaker Cannon sustained Mr.. Mann,
who suggested TO Mr.. DalZell that he
should not object to unanimous consent.
'ISwon't ask for it, replied MI. Dalzell,
with a show of petulance.
Continuing. Mr.. Dalzell insisted that the
matter was privileged because it was
report from a committee.
After the parliamentary phrase of the
question had been discussed at length the
Speaker adhered to his first ruling.
Mr.. Williams tMississippD sought to Sc
cure unanimous consent for the considera-
tiOn of the resolution. but at the sugges-
tion Of Mr.. Dalzell 1t was recOmmitted

reason for this step is that China is ap-
prehensive of further political surprises

bilty of the establishment of various
municipal governments under Russian
control. as is the case at Harbin, followed
