hning original packages. 1t was loet--33.1 15.
The house then proceeded to vote on the
house substitute for the senate bill. The
following is the house measure:
owing to many changes of votes made the
vote as announced by the speaker was not
absolutely correct. Instead of being yeas
100, nays "a, it stood yeas 113, nays 81.

A conference with the senate was asked for
and the house proceeded to the consideration
of the bankruptcy bill.
Mr.. p. B. Taylor of Ohio, chairman Of
the Judiciary committee, opened the debate
with q speech in favor Of the bill as one in
whose preparation no pains had been spared
to make 1t just and equitable to all parties.
That general bankruptcy bill which would
operate with certainty and cheapness would
be for the general good could not be denied.
He opposed the voluntary bankruptcy bill
framed by the minority as favorable to the
creditor only and not mutual.

commercial fair dealing.

before the house.
Mr.. Wheeler of Alabama said that the
speaker of the house had ordered the bill to
be passed. [Lsughter.l he had ordered
the election bill to be passed and 1t had been
passed, and he presumed that this bill
would. But it bristled with assaults on the
freedom or the people just as the election bill
did. The only reason he could see for this
bill was that the republican party was going
into bankruptcy and wanted chance to be
discharged and start business again.
Mr.. Buchanan of New Jersey declared that
the statement of the gentleman from Ala.
bama (Mr. Wheeler) that the speaker had
ordered this bill to pass was surprising one.
10 (Mr. Buohanan) was q member of the
judiciary committee; he had taken part In
framing this measure, and he had reported II
