resculng from the speaker the ap'

to place their appointive power IN the

be known as the committee on rules.
Uncle Joe has given out that he Is
willing to make concessions to the
insurgents. He is willing to admit
that members have right to get
their bills before the house, and will
give his consent to the Calendar

This means that Speaker Cannon
has learned that the twenty-five men
of the dissatisfied group are not the
full muster with whom he has to
reckon. 1t Is anticipated that new
members in the next house probably
will be with the insurgents who hold
over. The speaker evidently recog-
nizes the necessity of placating the

ret, In some cases, the English, for
example, this was accomplished by
the use of q closed tube or cylinder,
but this plan required that the gun

position before loading, which was q

our designers discarded 1t In favor OF
the open car hoist, which revolved
with the turret and allowed the guns
to be loaded In any position. The ad.
