Speaker, move to reconsider the vote
whereby we accepted the majority re-
port, ought not to pass, on bill an
act relative to homogenized ice cream,
and my purpose in doing that is not
to take advantage of anybody who

motion to reconsider laid on the ia

doing it, if I may state it. is that
:h"re has been, it seems OF me, IN

very grave injustice has been done

that all debate in support of the no
mogenizers as opposed to the propon-
ents to the bill has been omitted, the
case of the proponents is reported IN
the paper in full, but think that the
omission should be supplied by the
complete stenographic report.
The SPEAKER: The Chair will
state that under the rules a motion
to reconsider must be made within
