Then long discussion on parliamentary
procedure was precipitated by a point OF
order made by Mr.. Burrows.
what is known as the Omnibus Reso-
luton was read by the Clerk. This was
resolution coming from the Committee
on war Claims punching thirty-seven
Dhis IN one resolution, referring them 10
the Court OF Claims for adjudication.
MI. Burrows point was that such pro-
ceeding was unauthorized by the rules;
that each bill must be acted on sepa-
fately, and that the committee had no
power 10 initiate such a resolution.
Inc Chair overruled the point Of order
clins precedents in support Of his po-
stion
Mr., Burrows read the bills by title,
showing that they aggregated $l,0iO.000.
and that they originated in a single To-
cality in South Carolina. The House
ought to make stand against these
claims.
Mr.. Sayers (Tex) thought it must re-
markabe that the War Claims Committee
should have selected the thirty-seven
claims introduced by one man and bunch
ed them in this way. lie did not know a
single member of the Court Of Claims
but. acting upon his own Judgment,
formed from twenty years experience in
ConSress-eiGht Of them on the Com
mittee on Appropriations-if the court
found In favor Of the loyalty and fun
amount claims set up by the claimants
he would not vote TO pay one Of the
judgments. because he would have no
confidence in their conclusions.
Mr.. Stockdale Dem, Miss): But il the
claims were just and the loyalty Of the
claimants proved?
Mr.. Sayers: Oh, now, ] will tell my
friend what think upon the question Of
loyalty. In the common States which
were at war with the Federal Govern
ment, there were not, on the average,
five men in any community who were
loyal TO that Government throughout the
war. 1t is thirty years since that war
ended and evidence Of loyalty is very
easy TO procure.
At 5 o'clock, under the rule, the COM
mttee rose without coming 10 any con-
clusion on the pending resolution ana
the House took a recess until O'Clock.
The evening session Of the House lasted
an hour and fifty minutes, but no busi-
