 The committee amendment placing cot ton bagging on the free list was agreed to by vote of 31 to 21.
 MT. Allison called attention to paragraph 270, which had been amended so as to read: ssBurlaps containing not over 40 threads to the square inch, 0per cent ad valorem,o o the words, ''bags for grain made of such burlaps, 20 per cent ad valorem' being struck out.

 In the debate which MT. Allison thus started Messrs. Mills, Vest, Jones and White all favored putting burlaps itself on the free list. MT. Platt opposed 1t.
 Finally Mr. Mills moved to strike out paragraph 270 (burlaps and grain bags made from burlaps) and to place both on the free list.

 Through this action there will be open ing prayer tomorrow and no morning busi- ness.
