WORK OF

In the Senate Thursday the considera-
rency bill showed plainly that there would
be little or no obstructive tactics against
its passage. Senator Aldrich briefly ex-
planned the measure and little political
by-play was introduced by Senators Gull

who tainted members of the majority

unobjected to bills on the calendar. House
bills were passed requiring interstate rail-
roads to equip locomotives with ashpans

devices to pass the time and keep the
floor, calling for roll calls, reading from
documents and answering questions. He
took the floor at / o'clock in the after
noon and held it till late at night. The
situation in the Senate on the currency
question, combined with the oppressive
