May Not Name
House Committees
Until After Tax Vote

Washington, Nov. 24.-lAP)-
Postponement of the organization Of
most of the house committees until
after the tax reduction bill is dis
posed of is under consideration by
house Republican leaders.
Putting forward this scheme tent
atively today, Representative Long
worth of Ohio, floor leader for the
party at the last session and desig-
mated by it as speaker at the COM
ing session, explained that it would
prevent any interference with con-
sideration of the tax measure.
At the same time, such a pro-
gram obviously would put off final
action on assignment of some of the
Republican insurgents to committees
until after they had voted not only
on the revenue bill but on organiza-
ton of the house.
While the Republican caucus
which met last spring accepted the
policy put forth by Mr.. Longworth
of Withholding places on key COM
mittees" from members of the party
who supported the candidacy OF
Robert M. J.aFollette for president
some leaders are puzzled over just
how far to carry out this program
and delay in committee organiza-
ton would give opportunity to de.
termine the status of some of those
listed among the insurgents.

To Probe Kicks
Soft Coal Operators
Breaking Agreements

Washington, Nov. 24-(AP)-Re-
ceipt of the miners unions complaint
that some bituminous coal operators
were .disregarding the jacksonville
wage agreemet, was acknowledged by
President Coolidge in letter today
to 3ohn L. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers Of America, dt
Philaoe lphia. In it the president said
he would make a full reply after
study of the charges advanced by h1r.
Lewis.
The complaint. which was made
Sunday in the form of an open letter
to the president. said the wage con-
tract had the approval of govern
mont officials when drawn up, and
asked whether the federal govern
Inent cared to intervene or would
consider the miners justified III yak
ing steps to enforce it.
The steps were not described, but
the threat of labor disturbances in
the soft coal fields seen in this ques-
ton is understood to have occasioned
White House conferences in which
not only cabinet members but Will
liam Green and Frank Morrison, res
pectively president and secretary OF
the American Federation of Labor
have participated.
Other than the statement at the
White House that Mr.. Lewis letter
has been acknowledged, no other gov

Plenty of Turkey

Presidents Family

Washington, Nov. 24-(AP)-With
half dozen turkeys already at the
White House and more likely to
show any moment, President Cool
idge Is sure of a bountiful dinner
Thursday. In fact, he has reached
the conclusion that president need
never worry about well stocked
larder for Thanksgiving or Christ
mas-the generosity of the American
public more than taking care of the
needs of the executive household.
Although disappointed that his
father, who has been ill at Plymouth
VT, will not be Thanksgiving
guest at the White House, the presi-
dent is encouraged over reports OF
his fathers condition. Word re-
ceived here Is that the momentary
spasm suffered by his father Is due
to blood vessels of the brain rather
than to heart trouble.
With the son John at Amhers,
College the president and Mrs. Cool
idge will have no relatives with them
on Thanksgiving Day. Mr.. and Mrs
Frank w. Stearns, intimate friends
are White House guests, however
and probably will remain over the
holiday. The president plans to at
tend morning services at the First
Congregational church and probably
will devote some time to work on his
annual message to congress.

MEET TODAY

On the ground that during the
first week of their employment the
new guards at the States prison
were working only temporarily, Gov
ernor Brewster yesterday signed the
warrant for their pay for that seven
days period. which warrant togeth-
er with one providing the second
weeks pay for the new guards were
unanimously passed by the Execu-
tive Council at their session Nov
emper IL.
The governor stated yesterday THAI
the warrant for the payment of the
nine new guards during their first
week amounted to about $175.
The Council has the duty to con-
troll the payment of newly appoint
ed and temporary employees, and in
that capacity the members at their
last meeting passed without opposf-
ton the warrant for the payment
of the new guards for two weeks,
sending the warrants to Governor
Brewster for his signature.
1t was stated by member OF the
Council following that meeting that
the Governors position was in effect
that unless the old guards who
signed the affidavits, or portion OF
them, were restored to their posi-
tions or were properly dealt with
he would not pay the new guards
for the work done.
The Governor and Council will
confer with the members of the State
Prison Commission at = o'clock this
Wednesday afternoon at the State
House, and it is probable that IL
they then decide that the new guards
are now of the status of permanent
employees, the amount of their week
ly compensation will be determined
by the Governor and Council.
The first weeks salary of the new
guards has been taken care of by
the Governors approval of the mi
tial warrant passed by the Council
and 1t is probable that warrants for
pay for their work since that time
will be brought to the attention of
the Governor and Council today.
The Prison Commission held a
session yesterday at the prison at
given out regarding the matters
taken under consideration. Asked
last evening if the question of a new
warden for the States prison to sue
coed Warden Lester ID. Eaton, re-
signed, will be taken up at today 9

one pound currants. two pounds
seeded raisins, one-half pound cit
ron. two pounds sugar, two and one

Seek Ringleaders
In Demonstration
BY N. i. Students

Chicago, Nov. 24-(AP)-A few
black eyes, cracked heads, and soiIed
police uniforms and some damaged
fire equipment were all that was left
tonight to remind the university town
of Evanston of how it's dignity was
ruff1ed last night when 5000 North
western University students allowed
their exuberant spirits to spill over
in celebration of the purple football
teams prowess.
Town officials. incensed at the burn
ing Of an unoccupied fraternity house,
the lighting of huge bonfires in the
district and several pitched battles
between students and firemen and po-
licemen, said they expected to arrest
the ring leaders If they found them.
Meanwhile four students who had been
arrested were released because the
police said they were not the ring
leaders.
University authorities said they IA
vored the celebration but frowned on
the destruction of property or the vio-
lation of the towns laws.
Mayor Charles H. Bartlett, who was
struck over the head while trying to
hep the police quiet the students, an
nounced he expected to turn in bill
to the university for damages done
city property, including the police
uniforms and fire equipment, and for
$500 worth of tear bombs used by the
police in subduing students.
Spokesman for student organizations
maintained there would have been no
trouble If the police had not fired pis-
tolls and had not appeared to be TAX
ing unnecessary measures to stop the
celebration.
Some city officials said the disorder
incident to the celebration would re-
suit in the city coming committees re-
fusal of a new stadium permit on the
grounds that it would be impossible
for the police force to handle a crowd
of $4,000 football spectators If 1t
could not handle crowd of 5000 stu
