COST OF SHOES
PROBE BLOCKED
BY THE HOUSE
Clash Follows an Effort to
Have Igoe Resolution
Considered.
ARGUMENT IS HEATED
Champ Clark and Speaker
Gillett in Tiff Over Floor
Privilege.

Refusal of the Republican leaders
in the House to permit considera-
tion of the resolution by Represent
tive Igoe, Democrat. for an inves-
tigation into the proposed increase
in the price Of shoes precipitated a
sharp clash between Speaker Gill
lett and former Speaker Champ
Clark near the end of yesterday s
session.
The tilt came over a motion by
Mr.. Clark for the immediate con-
sideration of the Igoe resolution.
Speaker Gillett refused to put the
motion to a vote on the ground
that he had not recognized the mi
rority leader. Mr.. Clark insisted
that he had been recognized and
pointed out that member on the
Republican side had risen to op-
pose the motion.
His demands were unavailing.
The speaker recognized the Repub-
lican floor leader to move that the
House adjourn and the majority
members forced the adoption of the
motion over the protest of the
Democrats.
Indignation Meeting Held.
The minority members imme-
diately gathered about the former
speaker and held an impromptu
Indignation meeting. Mr.. Igoe
charged that the smothering of his
measure was an arbitrary exercise
OF the speakers power"
The wrangle was started when Mr..
Mondeu made his second effort of the
day to get unanimous consent for con-
sideration OF a resolution providing
for period of two weeks, by the eud
for period of two wetks, by the end
of which time President Wilson ex-
poets to be ready to submit recon-
mendations for relief from the high
cost of living. Mr.. Igoe, who had
objected to the plan earlier in the day

The big four has decided TO call in

From the same source it was learned
