Then a long discussion on parliament

point of order made by Mr.. Burrows.
What Is known as the omnibus resolu-
ton was read by the Clerk. This is a
resolution coming from the Committee
on War Claims. punching thrty-seyen
bills In one and referring them 10 the
Court OF Claims for adjudication. MIR.
Burrows's point was that such a proceed
ing was unauthorized by the rules, that
each biz must be acted on separately,
and that the committee had no power TO
initiate such resolution.
The Chair oVeTIuled the point OF order.

ton.
Mr. Burrows read the bills by title,
showing that they aggregated NO40'VO
and that they originated In single To-
cality In South Carolina The House ought
TO make a stand against these claims.
