RULES MAY ELIMINATE
0NE-MAN F|L|BUS!ERS
Amendments Being Considered by
Republican Members of House
Rules Committee.

Amendments to the rules of the
House, which will make it impossible
for a "one-man filibuster," are being
considered by republican members of
the House rules committee, it was
said today. The power that one man
now has to consume time through
points of no quorum, forcing a call
of the House, and keeping this up, has
proved both costly and irritating dur
ing the present session of Congress.
Loss of Time and Money.
1t requires forty minutes to call
the roll of the House, and both time
ing, particularly, it is pointed out.
if the call is demanded when there is
no other reason than a desire to cause
delay.
Representative Tess. chairman of
the republican congressional commit
tee. discussing this matter. said:
"The Record shows that 1S4 mem
bers OF the House on the major COM
mitteeS are sitting during sessions
of the House. Every time a point of
order of no quorum is made it dis
turbs those 1874 members, and inter-
rupts their proceedings.
Restriction of Second Call.
1.-THE reform by refusing second
RON call in the committee of the
whole in case the first call develops
a quorum should be rigidly enforced.
The custom of permitting members
to assemble in the well of the House
at the end of the roll call to answ er
should be discontinued. 1t is not the
rule, but merely a bad custom into
which the House has fallen.
when the House is in committee
of the whole, a second by two MEM
bers should be required in order to
compel the presence of quorum
while bill is being read for amend
ment A second of four members
should be required during general
debate"
