The measure has been the subject of many phases of action and parliamentary parliamen-tary manipulation. Final vote was taken after four days of debating, during dur-ing which time the bill was labeled as a special order of business and presenting pre-senting itself for the last three days under the head of unfinished business. At the inception of debate on the measure, the house rule permitting resort to the previous question, was suspended, which action paved the way for unlimited discussion. Tuesday, Tues-day, when the debate was resumed, a motion prevailed to the effect that the house should not adjourn until a final vote had been taken. This resulted in a session that continued until shortly after 7 o'clock. The rollcall of votes was interrupted by a call of the house, and sergeants-at-arms were sent out to summon absent members who had grown restless under the lengthy and sometimes monotonous arguments, during which an entangling entangl-ing array of figures and statistics was cite'.
