Noble Marsden said that he, also,
could join in the general cry of lack
of attendance at committees. He
was chairman of several but, al
though he was loaded with promises
of members to be p-e5ent, they very
rarely materialized. He gloated
over the opportunity which now pre-
sented itself, it was an opportunity
such as he had waited for in grim
patience for many days and he
would now unfold the plan of ter
rible revenge which he had treasured
up to get even on recalcitrant com
mittee-men and he would now, that
he saw a majority of members of the
Labor Committee present, including
the will-o'-the-wisp member from
the 3rd district, move that the Ser,
geant-at-Ar be instructed to close
the doors, forbid the exit of any
member, and that the House ad.
journ and attend to committee work
