Cannon Loses Temper as House Halts Filibuster
Republican leaders faced confusion after the House opening as Speaker Cannon and Representative Payne from New York pursued cross purposes. The gavel dropped but order gradually returned, guiding the House into the District of Columbia appropriation bill. Gardner of Michigan moved to send the measure to committee, prompting a tumbling sequence of parliamentary maneuvers, calls for tellers, and points from Bartlett of Georgia. Amid the muddle, Cannon corrected the course, the doors remained nearly closed, and the debate shifted to child labor regulation in the District of Columbia with Peters and Brack, amid tributes to a deceased colleague.
