Bailey Opposes Longer Hours.
Senator Bailey of Texas, a minority
member of the finance committee, COM
batted Mr.. Aldrich's proposition for night
sessions on the ground that ii would not
give him and other senator's In the demo-
cratic side enough time to answer their
correspondence and properly serve their
constituents in matters outside Of the
chamber.

this morning, on the further ground that
it had not been acted upon by full
meeting of the committee.
Senator Hale of Maine. author of the
resolution, reminded Mr.. Bailey that the
Senate didn't have to remain I'm session
until IL O'Clock every night, if the heat
should become intense. for his resolution
provided for adjournment mot later than
IL O'clock
Senator's Martin of Virginia and Clay of

thought no time should be lost in dispos-
ing of the tariff bill.

...r. Bailey that night sessions should not
be held.
1T won't take longer than a week,
said Mr. Aldrich.

ed the Texan.
"If We don't get through then" added
Mr. Aldrich, 'Ill insist on more night ses-
sions."
IF this is to be test of physical en-
durance, l will tell the senator he won,
make any progress. replied Mr.. Bailey
Il hope he will withdraw tnat threat.
~ have not made any threat" said Mr.
Aldrich. Il merely want to finish the bill
We have not been proceeding as fast az
would like"
Mr.. Bailey objected TO Mr.. .Aldrich' 5
previous attempts to fix a time to vote
finally on the bill when the commit ee

items Mr. .Aldrich replied that they were
very few-lumber, wood pulp, zinc and
hides.
Free Oil Reported.
Senator Rayner of Maryland asked
what the committee had reported con-
cerning OIL
Free OIL replied Mr.. -Aldrich.
Senator Beveridge Of Indiana advocated
night sessions. He said however, il -'as
more important TO make the bill light

mcus consent for present consideration OF
