NUMBER OF DEMOCRATIC CON
GRESSMEN WAIT COMMIT
TEES NAMED WHEN CON-
GltISS MEETS.

Washington, ID. C.-Democratic
opposition has developed in the House
to the plan agreed upon by Repre-
sentative Underwood and other party
leaders that no committees should be
appointed at the opening of the spe-
clal session, except those necessary
to the transaction of routine bust
ness and the handling of the tariff
revision bill.
Representative Sims of Kentucky
one OF those who~urged the appoint
ment OF other important committees
at the outset OF the commission dis
cussed he matter today with Presi-
dent Wilson. The latter made no
recommendation on the subject and
said he had al open mind upon
it.
1t has been the plan of Democrat
lc Leader Underwood and his col
leagues to hold back the appoint-
iment of other committees so that
lull may be given the
tariff while that subject is before
the House.
The members who favor the ap-
pointment of other committees, saw
this would be interpreted in other
quarters as a method of forcing
members of the House to sunnort
the tariff bill.
Further than this it is claimed
that the Panama canal bill, the
philippines, Alcska, currency and
other legislation will require consid-
Grafton by committees early in the
session. Representative Underwood
ana Senator Sims, the latter chair
mar of the Senate finance COM
mlttee, got into communication over
details of the tariff bill and will con-
fer informally through the week.
Ihey will discuss the tariff program
in detail with President Wilson With
