Taunts and Criticism from
Former Speaker Cannon.

instructions as Resolutions.
Democrats on the Senate Steering
committee-.Afbitration Hearing.

Washington. April lit required
over two hours in the House of Repre-
sentatives today to elect its new com
mittees. 1t was the first time in history
that the committees had been elected
Former Speaker Cannon tainted the
Democrats with having approved as
the Republican representatives on the
various committees, practically the
same men that he had put on the COM
mittees, and also criticized the Demo-
Gratis for not giving the Republicans
larger representation on the commit
tees.
Mr.. Underwood, the Democratic
leader, replied that the Democrats had
based the proportionate representa-
ton of the committees strictly accord
ing to the Democratic majority in the
House itself.
This is, moreover" he said, 1.-THE
first time a minority leader has been
permitted to name his committees and
have them adopted by the majority
without dotting an l or crossing 7.
This statement was cheered loudly
by the Democrats.
Republican Leader Mann cited a
number of alleged Inconsistencies and
his arguments were seconded by Can
non and Gardner of Massachusetts.
THAT / made mistakes is undoubt-
ediiy true said Cannon. but | was
responsible for the organization of the
committees and ! did it honestly. l
have no apologies to make. I would
like to see the Speaker, or the ways
and means committee, or the minority
leader who could organize the COM
mittees without making mistakes. |

Democratic side. But after all YOU are

tees you name, but the legislation you

tions. The ways and means committee
and appropriations committees of the
