the table
Mr.. SPEIRS of Cumberland: Mr..
President, it looks to me as though
we were losing time rather than
gaining it by going through and tab
ling these things. II an adjourn
ment is in order. l would like 10
move to adjourn. Through the
Chair. l would like to ask what is
the good to take them off and put

Mr.. President. was that bill tabled ?
about to put the vote.

dent. I introduced that resolve and
after considerable strenuous effort
got report from the committee
Ought to pass" It went through
here. and went through the
House, but failed on the final enact
ment. l think this is the situation
that we have voted twice to adhere
to our former action and asking for
a committee OF conference.-the did
that a few days ago once and did it
again yesterday, and the House for
some reason, | do not know what.
Still stick to their former action.
do not know MIR. President, as it is
worth while to insist any longer. 1t
looks to ME as though they had
made up their minds for some rca-
son or other. | do not care. as far
as | am concerned, the Senate can
do what they are q mind to with it..
| do not care to insist on the matter
any more as it apparently is use
less.
Mr.. CASE of Washington: Mr..
President, l will say that one of the
House members came to me and said
that got by them yesterday and was
not understood and asked if it came
up in here to try and table it. At
the request of the House member |
have made the motion.

President, I would like to ask for in
formation-I know nothing about it

vote of the House to adhere, or Insist,
was reconsidered in favor of the pas
sage.
Mr.. CASE: Replying to the sena-
tor from Androscoggin through the
Chair, l know nothing about the mat
ter.
Mr.. CARTER: If it was 1t would be
dead anyway.
Mr.. MAHER of Kcnnebec: Mr..
President, the senator from Andres
coggin l think is not correct on the
procedure. What is the vote of the
