REPUBLICANS DUE TO
RECEIVE A "LECTURE"
Minority Leader 0iSpIeased
with Their Course on "White
Slave" Resolutions.
MISSED CHANCE. HE THINKS
Mann Ready to Scold Colleagues
for Permitting a Milk and
Water Report by Judi
ciary Committee.
From The Tribune Bureau

Washington. July 3.-Republicsn mem
bers OF the House Committee on judiciary
are due for a littol curtain lecture by Rep
resentatiNe Mann, the minority leader
who is far from polased with the com
mittee's report on the Kahn resolutions
demanding an inquiry into the action OF
the Department Of Justice on the Cant
netti- briggs white slave and the West
eIn Fuel Company cases.
The judiciary Committee submitted =
unanimous report yesterday on the Kahn
resolution, moving that they "lie upon the
table as the Attorney General had fur
nished the committee with the desired in
formation in advance Of formal action by
the House The motion to lay OH the
table was not debatsble. and Chairman
Clayton declined to permit the Republl-
cans more than thirty minutes 10 discuss
the report Mir. Clayton indicated he
would grant this time only as favor and
not because the minority had right to
demand IL.
Mr.. Mann. who is the author Of the
white slave law thinks the Republican
members Of the Judiciary Committee had
one put over on them. Not only did
they acquiesce in the plan to lay the
Kahn resolutions on the table, but they
cid not insist on a vigorous report from
the committee. and that document makes
no criticism whatever OF the Attorney
Generals postponement Of the case. The
report, on the whole is a n innocuous docu-
ment. and expresses no opinion regarding
the peculiar course Of the Attorney Gen
eral.
AS soon as Mr.. Mann saw the report he
went "up in the air." From the Republi-
can point Of view il rear as II II had
been framed entirely by Democrats seek
ing TO protect the feelings OF the Attorney
General.
fThe first minority member Of the judi
ciary Committee encountered by MIR. Mann
was Mr.. Chandler, Of New York. Pro-
gressive Mr.. Mann Immediately took
him to task inyeighing against the milk
and-water report
Mr.. Chandler asked why Mr.. Mann
should "bawl him out" I'm not Re
publican" Mr. Chandler said, In sub
stance. I'm a Progressive. and II am
going TO get call down 1t ought to come
from Vic Murdoch Why don't you get
after your own fellows on the committee
f'I will" said Mr.. Mann. Just wait
until have n chance at them -
Mr.. Mann will flibuster, II necessary,
10 get time to discuss the Csminetti-
briggs white slave cases and the post
ponement order OF the Attorney General.
He so informed the House, and an armed
truce is now on until the House meets
again on Saturday.

Osborne a Single Tsxer.

Mr.. Osborne, who UP TO few days
ago was chairman OF the Progressive
state executive committee, announced
himself as a candidate for the Progress
sive nomination for Governor last Fri
day. the day before Nr. Colby arrived
home from fishing trip in Canada. IL
was generally believed that the reason
Mr. Osborne entered the contest at that
time was TO force the issue with Mr..
Colby. Mr. Osborne also issued long
platform, the chief feature Of which was
his devotion to the single tax theory.
The contest at the primaries promises to
develop into an exciting one, in which
Mr.. Colby will have the support of con-
servative Progressives like Ex-Governor
Fort and Frank Il Jess, while Mr.. Os-
borne will have the backing of such rad
jcals as George l.. Record and James G..
Blauvelt.
Mr. Colby's prominence as "A Progress
sive is not confined TO New Jersey. for
long before the Progressive party was
thought OF he vas fighting in the Re-
publican ranks for reform legislation
under the title Of New Idea Republic

Major Carl Lentz. the Republican boss
OF Essex County. told him he could not
be Senator he went into the primaries
and defeated Lentz. and was afterward
elected.

Urped 10 Enter Contest.

Mr. COlbys entrance into the contest
for the Progressive nomination for Gov
crnor this fall was brought about mainly
by the urgings Of Progressive leaders all
over New Jersey that he get into the
contest. but II is understood that the
strong sentiment among Progressive Re-
publicans in favor Of the former Senator
as harmony candidate also had con-
siderable weight with Mr.. Colby before
he announced his decision
Such Republicans as Edmund ". Wake
Ice. chairman Of the Republican State
Committee. had publicly stated that Mr.
Colby would be acceptable as a COM
promise candidate. II is understood that
from now on Mr. Colby's friends among
the Republicans viii strive 10 have his
candidacy Endorsed by the rank and file
Of their party at the primaries
The only obstacle that has as yet APP
peared 10 this plan is the opposition OF
a number Of the old-line leaders like
"Davy" Baird. Ex-Governor Franklin
Murphy and Dan Voorhees, who look
upon the Endorsement Of a Progressive
as heresy. regardless Of the fact that 1t
means a winning candidate and the TAX
