Another Attempt to Amend Rules
to Get Bills Reported
from Committees
TWO RESOLUTIONS ARE READY
General Opinion Is Some Such
Regulation Will Be
Adopted
rAssoclated Pressl

WASHINGTON, June 15.-The next
big rules fight in the house is brewing
rapidly. Another attempt may be made
to unseat Speaker Cannon. All parties
and all factions of parties were oc-
cupied today with consideration of
means by which a member may recall
a bill or resolution from standing COM
mittee after that committee has failed
to report
The end sought is to prevent legis-
lation from being smothered in COM
mittee.
One of the highest parliamentary au-
thorities on the Republican side SAID
today that Speaker Reed and every
speaker succeeding him had been Of
the convition that such plan should
be devised.
WILL BE ADOPTED
The difficulty of providing scheme,
and at the same time not make 1t a
vehicle for filibustering by a hostile
minority has prevented action. 1t is
the general opinion, however, that the
present session will see some such rule
adopted.
Two rules were proposed in the house
today, one by Champ Clark, minority
leader, which represents the composite
Democratic idea on the subject, and
another by Mr.. Madison, Republican of
Kansas, as inSurgent leader.
CLARK RESOLUTION
The Clark resolution was the pro-
duct of a conference lasting most Of
the afternoon participated in by DEM
ocratic members Of the rules commit
tee and Representative Sherley of Ken
lucky.
The latter is the author of similar
resolution presented two weeks ago.
The Madison resolution is designed
to secure 'insurgent" support. Other
insurgents have offered resolutions.
Mr.. Fish of New York has two, and
Mr.. Fowler of New Jersey one.
Both the Clark and Madison resolu-
tions were referred to the rules COM
mittees. which meets tomorrow.
The insurgents held meeting today
on the question of the rules, and the
general subject of insurgency, but ac-
complished nothing. The meeting ad-
iourned until tomorrow. 1t is expected
this conference will consider the ques-
tion of again attempting the deposition
of Speaker Cannon.

NEW YORK COURTS ARREST
PHONE COMPANY MONOPOLY Y
Exclusive Service Clause in Con-
tracts Is Declared Void

ALBANY, N. Y, June 15.-Telephone
companies cannot enforce contract
for exclusive service, according to a
decision here this week in the action
of the Central New York Telephone
and Telegraph company against the
proprietors of the Yates hotel at SYRIA
cuse.
A contract was entered into where
by it was agreed the hotel would use
exclusively the Central companys tele-
phones for nine years. Later the ho-
tel keepers sought to introduce another
telephone and the company brought
suit to restrain them
The court of appeals holds that such
q contract would shut out customers
of rival companies from telephone
communication with their neighors
and condemns the exclusive clause of
this contract as against public policy,
and therefore void"
