PLAN TO KNOCK OUT
DISCHARGE RULE
Representative Mann's Mo-
tions Alleged to Have This
Object in View.

Intent on bringing discredit on the
change in the rules, whereby 1t was
supposed 10 be made more easy to dis
charge committees from the considera-
ton of bills, Representative Mann of
Illinois has introduced in the House tif-
teen measures to place necessities of life
on the free list. These measures. which
were referred to the Ways and Means
Committee, would remove the tariff
from the following commodities:
Free List Candidates.
Salt.
Hops.
Meats and poultry.
Fish in all its forms.
Eggs.
Hay, straw, and fax
Cotton cloth, costing not over 3 cents
q yard.
Butter, cheese, and milk
Timber and lumber, sawed and sided,
but not planed.
Barley, buckwheat, corn, rice. rye,
and wheat.
Beans, beets, onions, peas. and pota-
Cattle, swine, horses, mules. and
sheep.
Beet, carrot, radish. cabbage, and va
riOus garden and field seeds.
Farley, malt, cOrnmeal, maCaroni, ver-
mlcelll, oatmeal, rolled oats, and his
cults
Grained. buff, rough, and sole leather;
boots and shoes, harness, saddles, and
saddIery.
Would Discharge Committee.
Later, Mr.. Mann will introduce mo-
tions for the discharge of the Ways
and Means Committee from the consid-
Grafton of his bills. He recently intro
duced 107 such motions for discharge.
Thus far in the session, there has been
but one committee discharge Monday
At that time, Mann got precedence for
his 350-page bill for revision of the pos
having the entire bill read this blocked
the House from taking up any other
proposition for the discharge of the
committees.
1t looks to many of the members as
If Speaker Cannon and Mr.. Mann were
working hand in glove TO nullify the
rule to facilitate discharge of commit
tees. Nobody supposes that Mann
really wants free trade on the articles
covered by his bills. He is thought to
be engaged in so loading the calendar
UP with motions for discharge of COM
mittees as to make the new rule seem
absurd. This has been the policy of
the Old Guard in the House from the
first. to attempt to throw discredit on
every change made in the direction of
rules liberalization.
In connection with his attempt to
throw discredit on the rules changes,
Mann is anxious to put some of the
members who have been talking free
trade on the necessities of life, So
called, an record.
