At this stage of the proceedings the
members became hopelessly involved In q
maze of parliamentary law, and IL was with
considerable difficulty that the course
for plain sailing was again laid.
The chairman ruled mat q motion to
refer the whole matter to o committee was
not in order. That having taken up the
amendment for consideration the only
question for action was on the amendment
to section 1.
Mr.. Emerson moved to lay the amend
ment on the table, and Mr.. Coop raised a
point of order. The amendment could not
be laid on the table.
The motion to amend the original mo-
tion was lost.
After Mr.. Cronin had moved the adop-
tion OF his system, or rather the first seq
tion, the chairman ruled that a motion to
refer would be In order, and Mr.. Pierce re-
newed his motion TO refer.
Mr.. Cronin objected to the delay on the
