SENATORS WALKOUT::
QUORUM is BROKEN
First Test Between Friends of Pres.
ident and Democratic Sena-
tors Takes Place.

The first test of strength between the
Presidents friends in the Senate and
the Democratic leaders came late vester-
DAY afternoon on the question OF con-
hrmlng nominations sent to the Senate
by Mr.. Taft. There have been murmur-
lnEs among Democratic Senators that
President Taft was manifestly trying to
secure all of the offices possible for his
friends before the expiration of his term.
Yesterday, when Senator Cullom
moved to go into executive session il
was the signal for a large number of
democratic Senators and Senator La
Toilette to walk out The result was
that a quorum was broken and the Sem
ate was compelled to adjourn.
II was learned yesterday that Demo-
cratic Senators have been giving seri-
Gus consideration TO the propriety OF
resting the confirmation not only of a
large number Of pOsI-OffiCe appointments,
but also Of more important places. such
IS members of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, for which Z. f. Clark of
Iowa. has been renominated, Commits
sIuncrs Of the District OF Columbia. and
Chief Justice Of the Court of Claims
Democrat" Senators complained that
If +. +. Clark was confirmed for re-
nomination as Interstate Commerce Com
missiOHer ii would make that commits
sion a Republican body for seven years
To come, in the regular course OF the ex-
piration of the terms of the commission
eTs. The Democrats want Mr.. Clark S
name withdrawn and a Democratic APP
pointed. or, they will hold up the nomi-
nation, they say, until after President
Wilson is inaugurated.
The Democratic leaders in the Senate
say that the interstate Commerce Com
mission is now composed of six Repub-
licans and three Democrats. and they
object to the continued concentration of
power in the hands of their political
adverse ries.

EARLY SHOPPING CAMPAIGN.
Educational Literature Is DiStrib-
uted to Clerks in Departure nts.

The campaign for early Christmas
shopping" is still being carried on Wig
orously. and in the course OF the cam
paign thousands of circulars gotten out
by the Consumers League have been dis
tributed to the government clerks of
Washington. of which there are over 30
900, suggesting that Christmas shopping
be done during the luncheon hour and
the night buying cut out.
The clerks point out that they are just
as much interested in the early shopping
campaign as one one. but that because
OF their working hours they are forced
TO do their shopping in the evening. and
they are again putting forth a plea for
Saturday afternoons off. as they claim
is their right. They point out that they
are allowed only half and hour for
lunch. and are "docked'' in most OF the
bureaus thirty minutes pay for every
minute or five minutes late.
They say that the majority of the gov
eminent clerks 10 not live near the shop
ping district and therefore are unable
to assist the salespeOple of the stores to
a happy Christmas by doing their bay-
ing early. as they could if they had a
half holiday Saturday.

START WAR ON HIGH COST
OF LIVING FEB. 1

The Federated Marketing
Clubs, which proposes to reduce
prices by collective buying
through purchasing agents when
prices are low, and storing the
foodStuffs until needed, will be-
gin operations Feb. |, according
to an announcement by Francis
B. Atkinson, secretary of the gen
eral committee on organization.
According to Mr.. Atkinson
rapid progress has been made in
the work of organization and re-
cruiting members. The plan
provides for the formation of To-
cal clubs and their afiliation
through general organization.
The federation aims to insure
purity and honest weight by
system of inspection under direct
control of the clubs, and to pro-
vide a market for food industries
of the farm and city. The organi-
cation will be a means of cor1mu-
nication between farmers and
other producers who wish to
quote prices to groups of city Gus
toners.
Where the local membership is
large enough to justify it, dis
trict Offices will supply members
each day, in convenient time for
marketing, with copies of a paper,
to be known as the Daily Local
Marketing News, which will
contain information as to pro-
duce and special bargains which
are offered in all shops catering
to each particular district.
