Wednesday by Isidore M. Levy, chair

BLOCKED BY CANNON AGAIN
The Speaker Stopped a Confer.
enCe on the Wood Pulp
Question.
stlpatior

Washington, April 27.-Speaker
Cannon effectively squelched a move
ment to call a Republican conference
TO consider the Stevens bill placing
wood pulp and print paper on the
free list to-day. The Speakers de.
termination to block Congressional
action and his ability to do so were
never more clearly demonstrated.
There isn't any use In trying to
call a conference" the Speaker said
when he first heard OF the movement.
Despite the spread OF this rumor the
petition for a conference was circu.
lated and It became apparent that
there would be enough signatures to
force the call. 1t was when this re.
port reached him that the Speaker
took his positive stand. Even II the
conference we're held, he said, he
would pay no attention to 1t. With
this situation confronting them the
movers for the conference abandoned
all effort TO bring It about.
In their personal comments those
who had sought to give the Republi'
can majority an opportunity to at
least consider the Stevens free wood
pulp bill spoke their minds with free
dom. Here the spectacle was present
ed Of the Speaker going tothe unpre
cedented extreme Of iniorminfi ths
Republican side that no conierenc,
they might hold would influence hin
In the least.
The Republicans in close congress

kind is being brought to bear OF
them at home to obtain relief from
