INVOKED POR WORK RELEP BLL Opposition to Rule Comes From Insurgents, Third Party Groups and G. O. P. Washington, Jan. 23.—(?)}—The administration's $4,880,000,000 work relief measure and the methods by which the majority party sought to obtain its passage drew fire Wednes- day from the liberal bloc in the house. Only one.of the 21 house members from the three cradle states of pro- gressivism—Wisconsin, Minnesota and North Dakota—voted for the so-called “gag rule” under which debate on the huge appropriation was limited to three hours and amendment priv- iliges _restricted. Representative Reilly (Dem., Wis.) stood alone in voting with the administration, ‘The opposition to the rule came not only from the insurgent third party groups, but from Republicans and Democrats alike. In the Wiscon- sin delegation, Representative O'Mal- ley, Democrat, joined with the seven progressives in voting against the rule. Representative Cannon, Democrat, the other Wisconsin member was not recorded. North Dakota Votes “No” ‘The entire Minnesota delegation of five Republicans, three farm-labor- ites and one Democrat opposed the; tule.

Dakota's two members, North hae and Burdick, Republicans, “no.” For the first time this session, the various progressive elements of the house sat together in a single meet- ing. The rule and the resolution resolved why they opposed “gags” and regis- tering their belief that the $4,880,000,- 000 figure was inadequate. Later devel- opments, including the revolt within the majority party ranks, however, moved the group to agree informally to withhold its “bill of rights” until @ later occasion.
