chairman of the conference, Mr. Davis
Mimi, rose to present the report and make
his statement to the senate.

to insert the words ARE and which they
had eliminated from the resolution, even
though the senate would abandon Its position
on the Turpie amendment.
He said this action was wholly .unsatis-

manner said that if the senate did not in
