societies.
The bill all but passed the Senate
several days ago, but it was discovcre.l
that one of the Senators who favored
it was too ill to vote. So the measure
was sidetracked.

diciary Committee of the Senate and
placed in the Railroads Committee,
where it was to lay until there were
sufficient votes to pass-it.

occasion a.bout all of the so-called "di

dered to look for them, but he reported
that they could not be found. However,
they turned up and the movement for
the passage of the bill got under way.
