REPUBLICANS IN
AN AWFUL SNARL
Democrats May Be Compelled
to Straighten Tang1e
for Them.
FACTIONS ARE AT WAR
FACTIONS ARE AT W
WAR
Regulars and Progressivcs IN
able to Agree on Commit.
tee Assignments.

Washington. D. c.. April 22-Thc
Democrats of the Senate may be called
upon to arbitrate the differences be-
tween the Republican Regulars and
ProSressivcs over the question Of cou-
mittee assignments.
This unprecedented situation was
freely predicted tonight. following the
Adjournment of meeting of tho Re-
publican Committee OH Committees Of
the Senate. at which the demands or
the Progressives for the right to die
tate one fourth OF the Republican mem
bers on all committees was again
turned down. 1t is snid that tho Pro-
gressiyes Will appeal TO the Senate
from the assignments of the Committee
OH Committees. and in this way the
Democrats will be called in TO settle
tho difficulty.
Neither OF the Republican factions
Is disposed TO shirk the responsibility
of the situation. IL the dispute gets
into the hands OF Democratic Senator'S.
however, It is predicted that the result
may be far more consequential than thu
mere strengthening out of committee
tangles. The snarl In the Senate would
be such that no one could forecast
the legislative results OF the session
Just what action the Democrats
would take as arbitrators on the com
bitttce dispute is SpeCuiotlNc. " NUM-
Der OF them are known to sympathize
strongly With the Insurgents. while
many others unquestionably would vote
TO sustain party regularity. AS q re-
suit. the situation tonight seems al
most hopclcssly complicated.
AT to-day's meeting q resolution
adopted yesterday, which provided for
the organization OF the committee in
alphabetical order, was Reconstructed
and Senator Gallinger us chairman Of
the committee, was instructed TO bring
in tentative list of assignments. But
this action was not taken Without
strenugous opposition from the Prog
ressives who sttll insisted upon their
right to designate their representatives
on all the committees.
When they were voted down the Pro-
gressives rctircdctao Observation-Disclosures
room. The principal contention in the
committee on committees Is over the
assignments to the Committees on APP
preparations, Finance. Post Oiflces and
Post Roads, Judiciary and Foreign Re-
lntions The Progressvcs contend that
they were promised two members OF
the Finance Committee In advance OF
the organization of the Gallinger COM
mittee. and they are especially anxious
10 have this Pledge carried out.
