 Refused to Recess Monday. The Committee on Rules reported with out recommendation the Walden joint res olution providing that when the House and Senate adjourn 1t should adjourn un- til Tuesday.
 MT. Lusk of Marshall, attacked the resolution. It would mean, he said. an additional and unnecessary expense or sI OOo. If the adjournment was for the purpose of allowing the clerks to catch up with their work, it would be better for the House to allow the clerks de- nartment an additional $100 for clerical aid. He was satisfied, he said. that the resolution was not inspired or prompted by the Clerk of the House.
 MT. Hoffman of Mobile said that he knew the clerk of the House was not be- hind the resolution. He had perfect con- fidence in the ability of the clerk to at- tend to the recording of all the work that the House could do. Some Of the members might want to spend Sunday and Monday with their families and that might be a reason for the proposed ad- journment. In that case, he said, the res- olution should be amended so that the members should receive no pay for Mon- day.
 The House, however, would not have the resolution. and 1t killed 1t by an over whelming vote.
