OPPOSITION ARISES
TO MAKING APPEAL
Chamber of Commerce Law and
Legislation Committees Meet
ing Enlivened.

Opposition by p. J. Ryan and Charles
W. Darr to other members Of the Cham
Der Of Commerce law and legislation
committee In a discussion Of an appeal
to Congress for expeditions consideration
of legislation affecting the District enliv-
ened the committees session remarkably
yesterday.
The day was so warm that a listless
and perfunctory treatment of the appeal,
reported by a subcommittee, might have
been expected. But Mr.. Ryan objected
that the twelve members of the law and
legislation committee then present did
not constitute quorum OF the COM
mittee, whose full membership Is hfty-
four, and he afso advocated that the
appeal be so phrased as to ask Con-
gress to enact pending bills approved
and to reject pending bills disapproved
by the Chamber Of Commerce.
Mr.. Darr declared that no appeal
should be made to Congress unless the
Chamber of Commerce had approved It.
For a committee to assume the impor-
tant function Of making recommends
tions to Congress, asserted Mr.. Darr.
would surely damage the Chamber.
The objections OF Mr.. Ryan and Mr..
Darr were voted down. and the appeal.
amended by the striking out Of few
prove unwarrantedly offensive to men,
beers Of Congress, was adopted, and VIII
be sent at once to the members OF Con-
gresA
The appeal recites that there is pending
before Congress a large mass Of import
ant legislation affecting the District or
Columbia" and that because OF the SEEM
ing impossibliity of securing quorum OF
the House District Committee, few of
the pending bills have been acted upon
or even considered. The District OF Co.
lumbia being without representation, and
having only the right OF petition for the
presenting of its claims, the appeal con-
tinues, the Chamber OF Commerce earn
estly asks the members of Congress to
bring about without delay action on i'm
portant bills affecting the District now
pending before Congress-
