public interest concentrates In IN earnest de
sire for an adjournment OF this extra session
The point is made that congress having beer
called In extraordinary session for the specihl
purpose OF repeating tho purchasing clause o
the Sherman act, that duty once performed con
gress should adjourn. This argument has n,
weight, however The mere fact that congress
was called together for the purpose OF certain
leglslni ion Us no reason why, that legislation
having been enietoi, other legislation may no
be entered upon The question OF adjournment
rests entirely with the individual interests o.
the members OF congress themselves
