Tennessee yesterday began to circulate
a petition for minority caucus to con-
slider the proposition of taking away from
the Speaker the power to appoint conf
mittees of the House. He has no doubt,
Judging from the views he has heard ex-
pressed that he will easily be able to
obtain a sufficient number OF signatures
to authorize a caucus call by Repre-
sentative Henry w. Clayton Of Alabama,
the minority caucus chairman. More
over, he is certain that majority OF the
democrats favor the proposition to take
the power of appointing committees away
from the Speaker.

Proposed by c. E. Maurer.

Arbitration to avert the threatened
strike OF 10000 Ohio miners was pro-
posed by c. E. Maurer of Cleveland on
behalf OF the Ohio operators at the joint
conference meeting today. Mr.. Maurer
also declared that the Ohio owners will
have no objection of the miners reaching
separate agreements with operators from
other states.
When the convention adjourned the in
dications were that steps would be taken
to disregard the joint conference after
today and allow the settlement OF differ
ences in separate conventions.
President Lewis, in telling the joint
conference OF the authority given by the
miners national convention to settle by
states, declared that iii certain opera
tors" referring to Ohio, leave this con-
vention without a settlement and settle
ments are made with the remaining oper-
ators, contest in that state is inevita BILE,
and If the miners will not. we will die

won't be very agreeable to the other side,

COAL STRIKE AvERTED
JOINT CONFERENCE TOMORROW
EXPECTED TO END DISPUTE.
Believed the Ohio Operators Will
Concede Five-cent Increase
Asked by Miners.

CINCINNATI. Ohio, March 26.-After
the strike specter had made rather dark
appearance here yesterday the pendulum
swung the other way late today, when a
committee from the joint conference OF
miners and operators Of Ohio, Indiana
and western Pennsylvania was appointed
to meet tomorrow morning and again en-
deavor to come to some agreement
This committee is an entirely new one
and statements from those high in au7
thority tonight indicate that an agree
ment is certain to be reached and that
Ohio will concede the five-cent-perton
increase now asked by the miners.
The committee is composed of two
miners and two operators from each of
the three states, and Is instructed to re-
port some action taken to the general con-
ference Monday morning.
The action taken at the convention OF
the United Mine Workers of America to-
day TO allow district agreements appeared
to do away with general strike and con-
fine it TO certain localities, but the later
move by the joint conference is believed
TO be even better than the convention 5
action inasmuch as it now appears an
agreement between all parties concerned
will be reached.

Fear of Constituents.

Ever since the insurgents who supported
the Speaker when put to the third degree
test began to hear from their constitu-
ents in terms that even the most obtuse
OF them could not mistake or misunder-
stand there has been a great deal OF dis
cussion of this question Of the deposition
OF. Speaker Cannon. The insurgents are
a trifie shy of publicity just now, how
ever, and it was not until yesterday,
when one of the number permitted him
self to be quoted, that an authoritative
statement could be made.
1t wouldn't surprise those who know
the way things are drifting in the House
IL a conference of insurgents were to be
held in the near future for the purpose
as to a plan of action. 1t has been sug-
gested. informally. that Speaker Cannon
be given the alternative Of making fiat
statement in plain language. which In
effect shall serve to eliminate Cannon and
Cannonism az an issue for all time, or OF
having the bitter fight on him resumed.
Undoubtedly, IL the Speaker would con-
sent to accept the view that the good OF
the party demanded some such action as
this from him the insurgents would be-
have themselves for the rest Of the SEES
sion. Under such conditions they assert
that the party would once more present
a united front: that the administra ton
measures now pending in Congress would
mum of friction and difficulty, and that
there would be a much better prospect of
republican success at the polls next fall.
Cannon Good Fighter.
But Speaker Cannon is a mighty good
fighter and rather hard loser. So there
is nobody optimistic enough to believe
although there are many regulars who
would like to cherish the thought for
even moment-that Uncle Joe will ac-
cept the advice to eliminate himself.
THE victory of last week just broke

men who have heretofore given but little
attention to the rules question are now
studying it intently. Sentiment In the

inevitable. Some Of them undoubtedly
will be accomplished during the present
session of Congress-"

MADE BY HOUSE
CONSIDERED MERE BEGINNING
Greater Power Expected By Members AS That Speaker
Committees May Be Selected With Practical o Matters
of Legislation Including Conferences and Appropriation

That the changes in the House rules
effected last week are but the beginning
of the process Of making the rules more
liberal is the opinion freely expressed
among the insurgents
Whether these changes are made be-
fore the end Of this session or whether
they are made at tbo beginning OF the
next Congress will largely depend on
the developments of the next few days
If the regulars proceed TO ride rough
shod over the insurgents in the selecN
ton Of the Rules Committee, it Is likely
u'at further changes in the rules Will
be attempted in the near future
Rep esentative Haugen Of Iowa, one
of the stanchest OF the insurgents. who
has fought vigorously against Cannon
ism for many months and has not
wavered, has prepared a resolution for
a change in the rules which he will
present to the House soon. That Is,
he will present it if there is not
distinct disposition shown to make con-
cessiOns TO the insurgents.
Committee on Committees.
MI Haugen has talked over his resO-
luton with a number OF the insurgents
and regulars. II provides for a com
nitee of fifteen, 10 be a committee on
committees. He proposes it shall have
power to appoint the committees of the
House, the power which the Speaker
now has.
Mr. Haugen would have this commit
tee OF fifteen selected geographically. so
that every section would be represented
The Washington times., 1910-03-22

on IT, To a large extent. it would take
over power now possessed by the
Speaker. The committee of fifteen would
be elected by the House itself and
would be representative.
Mr. Haugen Is inclined TO provide in
his resolution to change the rules so
That the committee Of fifteen have
jurisdiction over appropriation bills and
conference reports. with power to ap-
point subcommittee 10 consider them

would be by all odds the most power

Speaker
Answerable to House Only.
Mr.. Haugen's idea Is 10 have the
committee on committees amenable TO

committee named by the commit

instances in which committees have
been shaped by the Speaker so as TO
eSpediate or retard legislation are not
hard to find. The House Committee on

summer by the speaker is friendly TO

sidy have been weeded out Of the
Merchant Marine Committee, that Is,
out OF the Republican side or il. with
