ing assembling in the Senate chamber
struck him as novel and unprecedented.
MIR Quay explained that the committee
of the workingmen's association did
not propose to contine itself to the pre-
sentation of a memorial or resolutions;
but would also accompany that with an
oral presentation of their views.
mo precedent, l imagine said Mr..
Harris, ''can be found, from the day that
the constitution of the United States was
ratified and this government organized, for
any such action as is proposed by this reso-
luton, and l think that the time of the
Senate can be very much more profitably
employed in an earnest consideration of
the subject matter, in its legislative ca
pacity, than by opening its doors to a
mass meeting, ana to general discussion
by mass meeting, of the question pend
ing before US. I move that the resolution
be referred TO the finance committee.

the Senate to a direct vote, to lay the
resolution on the table,

draw the motion, an unbeatable one.

South Carolina" said Mr.. Harris, Il feel
constrained to withdraw the motion and
to open the food gates of debate on this

Ter was beginning to explain when Mr..
PETER broke in with a statement that he
had decided to be heard briefly on the
subject.
Mr. Gallinger also expressed desire
