(By Leased Wire o The Times) Washington, March 19 Promptly at noon Speaker Cannon called the house to order. When the speaker entered the house the scene present ed was one of great excitement. The appause and yelling of the members was vociferous. Everyone realized that a crisis was at hand.

At 25 mlntes past 12,, Speaker Cannon began the delivery of his rul ing. There was absolute quiet in the house, every one realizing that a crisis in the organization had ar rived. Tlie speaker' concluded his ruling at 12:34 o'clock, and as he announc ed that the chair sustained the point of order the regulars broke into ter rific applause which lasted several minutes.

He returned to the chair in time to announce the vote on the previous question, which was ordered by" a vote of 182 to 180. . . ; , ; The , : question then reverted toj overruling the chair which brought the matter direct before the house, unless the ayes and nays were order ed. The vote was a full test vote on the proposition to amend the rules. The crowds-were so great in, the corridors of tlie house that a large number of young glrla Mocked .the entrance to the east door, many of the young women actually standing on the floor of the house Itself. It seemed almost impossible to main tain order ; and enforce a rule re quiring the entrances to the house to be kept clears Never in the memory of the oldest employee had there been such an. ttendan(jp at, a on,.

THE FARMERS' UNION Exerting Itself In Behalf of Legislation Maintains a Bureuu in Wiwnington and This itureuu is Reminding Congressmen of Legislation That the Farmers Want Some of the Things They Ask For. (By JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES.) Washington. March 191 have had occasion in another, letter to de scribe the enormous increase of pow er accruing to the American farmer through' 'the organization of the-Far-mers Union, with its 3,000,000 mem bers. .-,';. -';.;"', ' . ... "" This compact, harmonious, secret organization, now four years old, wisely and unselfishly led by Presi dent Charles Barrett, seeking legis lation and not offices, has maintain ed an active and vigilant bureau in Washington during the session of congress, with President Barrett him self or some one of. the national offi cers always in attendance. It will be remembered that this bureau sent out some two weeks ago circular letter addressed indiviu allv to coneressmen. asking their support for six' measures now under discussion and vitally near to the in terests of the American farmer, ine measures supported by the farmers were: r, : .-.-'. . 1. Abolishing gambling in farm products. . - v 2. Securing, without delay, a par cels post,, -.- ' s.3. Securing, without delay, postal savings banks. 4. Securing, without delay, morp stringent legislation along the line of restricting foreign immigration. 6. Securing the defeat bf the pro posed central banTc. . 6. More liberality in national ap propriations toward agricultural pro Jects. y ; ' ' . -. It is not" more interesting than sig- nlfldant to record the prompt and fa vorable answer of the "people's rep resentatives" to this letter. Within thre'e days from its mailing there were a ' hundred replies from congressmen from middle western' and southern states, "agreeing" in whdle or in parte with the farmers- demands. -Since that time the great 'majority uf .the Bixty-flrst congress SENATOR BACOJt. V . Unlt4d States ' Senator Bacon of Georgia, who is the first Democrat to preside over the Senate since the days of Vice President Adlai Stevenson. Senator Frye, of Maine, president pro tern, is confined to his home with an injury to his ankle. Knowing that Vice , President Sherman would not be in town the other day he delegated Senator Bacon to act in his place. This designation is effective until either Senator Frye or Vice Presi dent Sherman returns. have sent respectful and encouraging answers to the circular letter. . Manifestly it Is impossible to quote these letters going out today to the farmers unions papers. The bureau, however, estimates that 90 per cent favor abolishing, gambling in farm products; that 95 per cent favor a parcels post, the preference being that such a system should be first confined to rural free delivery roads; that an overwhelming majority favor postal' savings banks in some form, provided provision is made to keep the deposits in the home localities; that practically all congressmen heard from favor rigid restriction of foreign immigration; that 85 per cent are opposed to a central bank; that virtually all favor- great liberality in congressional appropriations towards the farmer. - In the statement preceding the copies of the congressional letters, President Barrett, while encouraged by the splendid showing made thus far, refrains "from celebrating" tne passage of these measures, because of the possibility that all of these prom ising congressmen are not in earnest and because of the ability of a "few powerful men controlling the house and senate," to "emasculate" or "en tirely annihilate": legislation at will.. Never In our history has the Amer ican congressman, collectively and in dividually, been so watched and crit icised as by the real representative of the American farmer. - Xhe statesmen of the sixty-first congress will bo compelled to toe the mark and facer the issue and deal squarely with his constituents. v . If the farmer keeps up his present policy, as expressed by the Farmers Union, for two years, he will get what ha wants and have the politics of the country in a swing.

The exercises were interesting throughout and largbiy attended. The flag which might be appropriately denominated the glad rag of the or der, was presented by Superintend ent Zeb Vance Judd, of Wake county, who made a capital exposition of the order's patriotism and of its strong nationalism. The Bible, The Book, to the council, was presented by Delos W. Sprrell, of Durham's bar, who took the stand that It is a rare priv ilege to live in a country which has such an oriflame as the American flag and such a moral support as the Bible. Upon the part of the school the Bible and the flag were presented by Mr. William Wilson and dinner followed.

(By Leased Wire to The Times.) Philadelphia, Pa., March 19 E. E. Greenawalt, president of the State Federation ot Labor, today began preparations to call a state-wide gen eral strike of 1,000,000 workers for Monday morning. Although Presi dent Greenawalt had not definitely decided on this course, it was declar ed that only an immediate promise of peace could avert the hastening of the state-wide strike. President Greenawalt today dis claimed all responsibility on the part of the strikers for the violence of yes terday. 1 '.,"' '"That- can only do our cause harm," he declared. The attempts to dynamite two cars last night one at Coral and Dauphin streets and an other at 31st street, and Columbia avenue today were the subjects of close investigation by the police. The situation today showed a firm er deadlock than had met the Inter ests working for a settlement since the beginning of the car strike. The Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company has outlined the terms on which it will accept peace, and C. O. Pratt, international organizer of the car men, has definitely declared that the men will not return to work on those terms. More conferences were held today, but the result announced was the same and the prospects of halting the great industrial war throughout the state appeared more meagre than ever.
