This drew l from Morgan the statement that it was | to discuss the tariff report in | sll it's political, financial and historical l bearings. Aside from this it wes pro posed to secure consideration for | Union Pacific resolution, either by it. self or during the tariff debate if this | became essential. It was not orderly l practice, but said Morgan when men | sRe held up and lashed over the back hey were not disposed to stand on the | 1icsties of prooeaduFe. It was more important be said to save fifty millions oy the Union Pacific resolution than to ,ass 5hs tariff bill.

The conference re- 'or3 was then reed in detail.
