viii be transferred 10 the open oflor of
lHe Senate chamber, rests with a
mceting of that clan TO be held in the

| ssessives are breathing defiance.
The skirmish began in the meeting
of the Republican committee on com
mittees early in the day. Senator Cal
| linser. chairman of the committee, re-
ported the list Of appointments. lmme-
diately Senator La Toilette objected
to the selections insisting that the
| Progressive senators were being treat
ed "uniustly and unfairly He said he
would reserve the right to oppose the
| list further in his own time.
As a concession to the Progressive
wing, change was made in the as
| sgnments to permit Senator Bourne
| to take a place ON the committee on
appropriations. The attempts by the
| other three Progressive members of
| the committee, La Toilette, Cummins
and Bristow, to get places en- the
committees on interstate commerce,
| finance and foreign relations, respec-
| lively, were voted down. Considerable
feeling shown in the meeting was car
