Mr.. Mills [excitedlyl Wifi that is the
doctrine now why were we here al
/ night2
Mr.. Reagan-Because at no time
could We get an agreement from the
other side to stop tihbustering, and
now when the other side is willing Il
stop tilibustering obstacles are inter
posed on our own side.
Mr. Manning-That is entirely gratui-
tous on the part of the gentleman from
Texas
Mr.. Reagan stand upon the record
and leave it TO the House and country
% judge.
Mr.. Mills-The same proposition was
made from the other side Of the House
last evening, and now, after staying here
all night, an unconditional surrender is
proposed.
Mr.. Reagan-Therc was no time when
the other side of the House offered to
cease tilibustering
Mr.. Manning-The gentleman from
Kansas RYAN made the same prOpO-
Sition, il being intimated by the Speaker
pro tenn that the demand for the previous
question, which was now pending, had
first 20 be voted down.
Tellers were ordered and 81
Democrats voted to second the previous
question. The Republicans, fearing that
II they should vote in the negative
enough Democrats would vote in the
affirmative 10 carry the motion, again
reirained from voting and thus Mr..
Reagan's proposition fell through.
Mr. Springer made a proposition
to vote at once on Mr.. RYAN 5
substitute and afterwards on the bill
at = o'clock, but that was antagOniZed on
the Republican side, which insisted that
the iair thing was 10 let both votes be
taken at o'clock.
Mr.. Atkins, at $50, asked unanimous
consent 20 have a recess Tor two hours.
Objection was made on the Democratic
side, and then the Speaker pro ten put
the question 10 the House I'm the form
of a motion. To that Mr.. Atkins
objected. saving he had not submitted
auv motion, but had simply asked
unanimous consent. The Speaker in
formed him that unanimous consent not
having been given there was no other
way OF putting the question except as a
motion.
Mr.. Stevenson moved that the House
adjourn and the motion was carried by
a combination of the Republicans,
tireeubackers and some Democrats
yeas, 50; nays, 20.
The House, thereupOn, at 9 O'Clock A.
NJ adjourned 10 meet at noon to-day.
