as the house adjourned to tomorrow morn.
ing after short morning session and the
senate adjourned in tho afternoon after
hearing and adopting a report Of the com
mittee on employees, OF which Banning was
chairman.
The house squabbc has made no new de-
velopmeuts and the continued absence OF
Gallagher has made the wet members Of
the comndtte avoid meeting. Tho re-
VOTERS have stirred up such storm cloud
over what they think has been unjunst
and unfair discrimination that the conn
mlttee is said to be gettin gready to With
draw some of it's commands
Members in revolt want Quackenbush TOR
judiciary instead of Grossman OF Douglas.

side, to suppant Gcrdcs, the veteran as
chairman OF the flcance committee, 1id
they want Leldigh taken off railroads and
some one ur their own number substituted
There is strong talk of a move to wipe
cut the work Of the committee altogether
and retire the whole matter Of committees
back into the hands of Speaker Kuhl who

minority II he did not have the committee
to work with. The committee met tonight
to try to come to some agreement.

Senator Bartos OF Saline is making his
complaint against being put on the public
lands committee instead OF insurance felt
He announced his preference for insurance
at the very beginning and when Volpp was
given the place he started out Immediately
to make trouble His threats have become
so general and so vehement that the COM
mittee Is considering the advisabllity OF
acceding to his demand and giving him
his choice. Otherwise the senate commit
tee on committees has been very success
full and, although Il has not yet reported,
its work is almost done
