Bitter Arraignment.

refusal hy the Democrats 10 give up
aiy more committee places to the
Republicans. or to restore tine propor-
tian that has here tofore existed be-

tee assignments.
After thu conference Mr.. Mann gave
out a statement bitterly arraigning
what he called the unfair. arbitrary
and brutal action" OF the Democrats
III "trampling the rights of the mi
nority.' The statement promises q
lively Republican effort to take ad-
vantage Of every parliamentary priv
ilege to make things hot en- the floor.
Mr.. Mann submitted the situation
to the conference OF leaders today
and asked whether he should not re-
fuse entirely to name committees on
the limited basis of representation Civ
en- by the Democrats. 1t was deter
mined to go ahead with the selection
OF Republican members.
Mr.. Mann said after the conference
that absolute fairness will be shown
the insurgents in the arrangements
In his statement Mr.. Mann says the
Democratic members of the ways and
means committee adopted the policy
of making Il majority OF seven on the
principal committees. whereas domi-
nant party never before claimed more
than six majority. He said
The Democrats begin their opera
tions by trampling the fair rights
of the minority under foot by brute
force. The Republicans cannot pre-
vent the application of the force of
numbers by the Democrats, but they
can object to those things which are
ordinarily done by common consent
The spirit of fair dealing from the
outset having been set aside by the
Democrats, they must not expect to
receive many favors from the mi
nority,"

leaders; and Cooper, Nelson and Len
