sloh creased ny Ia" TO determine them. But
congress does not even then part with Its
atthoFlty overtime cohnt, since the bill c1-
pressly reserves tho r'ghs Of reviewing tho
decision OF tho arbitration tribunal. It pro-
yhtos that tho two Houses 1nny agree to re-
ject tho award OF tho Commission. 1t would
have been folly to provide TINT either House
might request it, since TINT would have en-
abled ono House to repeal an net of' Con-
gtess, which Is q Legislative nbsurtlity.
The followers of alr. SHERMAN are consc.
qucntly constrained to look further for n
demonstration Of tho anconstitattonality of
tho pr"roaed measure; ono OF them thinks
he has found 1t, and sets it forth In the fol-
lowing Language:
