THIRD READING FILE.
Anderson's rock crusher bill came up
under this order and the tangle between
the majority and minority reports be-
came worse and worse. Anderson
moved q substitution of the minority
substitute for the majority batch Of
amendments, but this was regarded as
an unfriendly move by the friends Of
the rock-crusher, Atherton claiming
that the minority substitute if adopted
would virtually close the crushing
plant down.
During the discussion the previous
question was demanded, Speaker pro
TEN. Dunlap being in the chair. and
Anderson on the floor looking after his
bill. Roll call on the previous question
was demanded by Anderson, Wright
and Kenneally and the motion was
lost. By error, however, the announce
ment from the Clerks desk reversed the
vote and for moment everything was
confusion, Johnson challenging the
Hvote. . The error was discovered and
then Anderson, disclaiming any desire
or invention of taking advantage of
anybody. moved to re-refer the whole
matter to the original two committees

stltute might be prepared which should
fplease everybody and stand a chance of
final passage. Carried and the bill to
