bama was not recorded. The chairman.
Mr.. Hopkins Of Illinois. raped loudly for
order, but still there was confusion, and
because some were in doubt as to the
precise questions upon which the commit

Chairman Hopkins explained the situa-
ton and the clerk again began the roll
call.
Mr.. Montgomery Of Alabama voted mo"
on the motion to strike out, thus record
ing himself in favor of the injunction plank.
He was followed by II. NJ. Kennel OF
Arkansas, also in the negative. but Harry
A. Melvin of California and William A.

Contents. of Minority Report.
The minority report of the committee on
resolutions insists on the physical valuation
of railroads as the basis of a proper ad-
justment of rates, as decided by the United
States supreme court and Interstate Com
merce commission; publicity of campaign
contributions, the election of United States
senators by direct vote of the people, no
railroad rate to be advanced until after the
Interstate Commerce commission has had
opportunity to judge of its justice. This
latter proposition is the one demanded by
the shippers of Chicago last summer.
The several planks were duly presented
to the full committee on resolutions, but
rejected.
