Davis of Tennessee, and Crisp OF
Georgia.
Additionally, further, times have
changed; and the whole body OF
conservative Republicans in the
House will vote now for rules which
only q few years ago would have
been though radical"
They will vote, for instance, to
allow $50 members Of the House TO
start a proceeding by which a bill
which has been buried in a COM
mittee may be brought back to the
floor of the House and to life.
This proposed new rule has been
greatly misinterpreted. 1t does not
propose that the $50 members shall
by themselves be able to bring the
| bill back It proposes simply that
they shall be able to make q motion
to bring the bin back. Then, in
order actually to get ii back, there
would have to be-of course-a
majority vote Of the whole House.
Will Support New Rules.
Congressman Nelson, leader of the
Progressive Group" will support
all such new rules as far as they
go but will lead a fight to make
them go farther.
Congressman Nelson IL a 'radi-
CALI who used to be a considerable
postgraduate student Of philosophy,

sity of Wisconsin. He wears on his
bosom the key which is the emblem
of the intercollegiate scholarship
society Of America-the Phi Beta
Kappa He is addicted to the Con-
gressional Library.
He is so radical that instead
OF requiring $50 members of the
| House to unite in the making of
q motion to recall q bill from a
committee, he would allow such a
| motion to be made If only 100
members moved 1t in unison.
That is the height of the ''radi.
cal rules revision" about which
there has been so much. terror
It's ultimate result will be to give
the individual member just little
i more leeway. It's Immediate CHIEF
result-through eliminating section
three of rule Twenty -One-will he tt
give the Mellon taxation reduction

BERLIN, Aug. $3.50 vigor-
Gus and effective is the Com
munist opposition in the
Reichstag to the Dawes Plan
that a squad of detectives en-
tered the House to compel the
Communists to leave the build
ing.
This is the first time in the
history of the Reichstag that
such action has been taken,
and shows to what extremity
the government is driven in its
efforts to put the Dawes Plan
across.
While the plain clothes men were
swarming into the chamber, the Com
munists sang the Internationale.
The government lost out in the
first vote on the Dawes Plan, when
the banking, industrial and railroad
bills, included in the Dawes Plan,
failed to receive the necessary two
thirds vote.
Owing to the opposition of the Com
munists who continued to press their
amnesty bill, further balloting was
postponed until tomorrow. There is
scant hope that the Dawes Plan will
be passed in the Reichstag. The
government threatens to sign the Lon
don agreement whether the House
passes it or not.
1t is expected final action will be
taken on the Dawes Plan tonight.

Robert Williams said: "This Plan

the attempt to denationalize the Ger

the wages of the German railroad

enslavement of the workers Of Germa-

protests by Williams were heartily ap-
