are no more here, but there is more than a handful here. 

 There is probably one-third of the house in their seats yet, and 

 it is a very good representative body. I hope the resolution 

 will pass. (Applause.) 



President Rogers: If I understand the motion that is 

 before the house, "gentlemen, it is a motion to table this reso-

 All in favor of passing this resolution, rise. All opposed rise. 

 I think the resolution is passed without doubt. (Applause.)
