gress the early part Of June.
2. We realized that there was abb
solutely no possibility Of getting any
action on the Bill in the Senate before
the adjournment OF Congress, even if
it had been passed by the House. This
was because of the disorganized con
dition OF the Senate due to investiga-
tions, etc We felt that the passage of
the Bill by the House and the ad-
iournment Of Congress before the
Senate could act would have the ef-
feet Of making the Dyer Anti-Lynch-

a bait for colored votes without any
