Chairman Weeks Of the committee

gress began, the regular Republican
leaders of the house are confident they

They announced today that they
were assured of sufficient votes on
the majority side to bring in special
rule for the passage of the postal saw
ings bank bill, practically in the same
form that it came from the Republi-
can caucus. A careful canvass has
been made of the Republican side by
the organization leaders. and it was
stated by them late today that enough
regulars and insurgents would sup
port such a rule to secure Its adop-
tion.
The Democrats will resist the pas
sage of such rule and spirited
fight is forecasted. A number Of the
