TRIES TO FORCE
IRISH PROPOSAL
Wants Congress To Express Sympa'
thy With Movement

Washington, Dec. 16.-An at
tempt to force consideration of the
Mason resolution expressing the
sympathy of Congress with the
Irish people failed today in the
House, after representative Flood,
Democrat, Virginia, had called the
measure from the House calendar
and demanded it's consideration.
Representatives Mann, Republi-
can, Illinois, objected to considera-
ton on the ground that the foreign
affairs committee had instructed its
chairman, Representative Porter, Of
Pennsylvania, who was not on the
floor at the time, to call up the res
olution and that minority member
did not have that authority. Speak
er Gillett upheld the objection. Fur
ther consideration is not possible
until the bill is reached on the cal
endar.
Mr.. Mann charged that hepresen-
tative Floods attempt to have the
measure considered today was "ob'
viously political" The Virginia
member failed when chairman OF
the foreign affairs committee, he
said, to have the resolution called
up but that as soon as his party was
out of power he attempted to com.
pei action by the Republicans.
"The gentleman is mistaken"
Mr.. Flood replied heatedly. HE is
dreaming. He knows that present
ed the bill and demanded vote on
it when I was chairman"
