HOT FIGHT IN
T0N|GHT'S CAUCUS
Some of the Insurgents Will
Not Attend-Will Not Be
Bound

washington, Jan. l9-Ihe enOrt on
the part of the Republican house Or
ganization to displace the Democratic
/. caucus nominees for places ON the
Ballinger-Pinchot investigating COM
mittee, now we'll under way, promises
to precipitate a warm fight either. in
: the Republican caucus which has
been called for tonight, or on the
| floor of the house when the matter
comes to final vote.
The Democrats announce they will
resent any attempt to turn down
their selections and considerable
number of "iosurgent" Republicans
say they will support them on the
ground that the minority has right
to name it's own committee members.
The insurgents are badly divided on
the proposition and the indications
are that a large number of them will
refrain from attending the Republican
caucus as they do not wish to bu
bound by the result.
Representative Dwight, the Repub-
lican whip, put in large part of to-
day circulating the petition for the
caucus among the members, and Sc
cured a long list of signatures which
included about half a dozen insur-
gents including Representatives Hayes
Volstead, Steenerson and Hickett.
1t was generally understood on all
sides that the language of the eau
Gus call whi~.l provided for the selec-
tion of the house members of the
committee mean that the majority
would attempt to displace Represen-
tatives James and E:.iney, the Demo.
cratic selections, in addition to
choosing the four Republican MEM
bers.
! Three of the latter are slated to be
Mccall of Massachusetts. Olmstead OF
Pennsylvania and Madison of Kan.
sas, and the fourth member will be
some representative from the middle
west. not yet ecided upon.
Several Democratic members inter.
viewed today, declared If the Repub.
lican caucus chooses them instead OF
Messrs. James and Rainey, that they
will decline to serve.

language of tn ecall as 1t signifies
to what extent the Republicans may
go in getting committee satisfactory
to the administration. he insurgent
Republicans are divided as to what
should be done in the caucus with ref
efence to Representatives James and
Rainey.
Several of the leading insurgents
like Lenroot of Wisconsin, Poindex.
ter Of Washington and Norris of Ne
braska say they will not attend unless
the Democratic minority is accorded
the right to name whomsoever II
chooses for its representation. On
the other hand, the strongest objec.
tions to the Democratic selections are
voiced by insurgents like Hayes oi
California and Madison of Kansas.
Apparently content to let the insur.
gents take the lead in stirring up op.
position to the minority selections, the
Republican organization is silent on
the whole subject. Privately some oi
the leaders quoted President Taft al
having said he wanted a committee
that would forget politics and delve
to the bottom of all the facts under

NEW YORK, Jan. S.-Daniel Guggen-

that the present moment was opportune
to advocate federal regulation of the
copper markets
Following directly upon the presi-
dents special message recomm ending
similar action in the case of the rail-
roads and taken in connection with
recent runners of huge combination of
all the copper mining companies, his
statement is received with interest.
The American smelling and refining
company is capitalized at 100000, 900
and owns plants in Colorado, Montana,
Nebraska. Illinois Utah, Mexico, Alaska
and elsewhere.
Guggenheim bases his recommenda-
tions on the decentralization, not only in
the business of mining copper, but
among those interests which use manu-
factured copper in their processes. incl
dent upon fluctuations from 25 cents
pound for copper to IL cents a pound

terprise, requiring. under modern con-
ditions, very large outlays OF capital
