result OF the action OF the House on
Monday in adopting special rule sus-

that the debate on each measure may be
limited to forty minutes and making 1t
necessary that every bill must receive
sWo-thirds majority to pass. Senator

Monday, took occasion to reafhrm his
purpose not to hlibuster against the
reciprocity resolution. Mr.. Bailey also
affirmed his determination 10 prevent
the passage OF the tariff board bill by

House making every effort 70 pass the
appropriation bills, Including night ses
sions, and the adoption OF 4 general

for completing the work OF the session
within the required time rests on the
Senate. and rs the democrats will not

that responsibility rests especially on
the republican, senator's That they
can complete their work is admitted by
