Mr.. Dingley spoke of a point of order
against the resolution, but it was no t In ade.

when there was, SO far as he knew, no in
crease of the work OF the folding
Mr. Odell, chairman of the committee
had the clerk read the letter from the

delayed the work to such an extent that
there would be 25O,OOO documents to
handle that could not be folded with the
present force. The work had fallen be-
hind after the storm, and it had been m
possible to catch up.
Mr.. Lacey moved that the resolution be
the resolution should be only from States
not now represented on the folding room
force.
Mr.. W. A. Stone opposed this, and tried
to stop it with point of order, but Inef-
fectually.
Mr.. Flynn, Of Oklahoma, created laugh

Mr.. Fiynn's amendment was defeated but
Mr.. Lacey's was carried, in spite of Mr.
Stones call for division, tellers, and yeas

Upon a division the Democrats as a rule
opposed the resolution, and it was lost by
