"I do not recognize the programme of the steering committee in the mat ter," Senator Kenyon asserted, "and in my humble way I shall try to make an effective protest." "And I want to direct an inquiry on this subject," Senator Johnson chimed in. "There's a measure in which I'm interested, the minimum wage bill applying to employes of this government. Do I understand the senator from Iowa to say that it has been pocketed by the steering committee too?" 1 doubt if it will ever see light of day." Senator Kenyon said. "It's like the packer bill not denied con sideration, but never reached." "There's been no pocketing of bills." Senator Lodge declared. "The steering committee has tried to ar range the necessary business of the government. It has no power to do anything else." "The shtppintrmeasure was report ed out of committee May 4, and has the senate floor now," Senator Ken yon responded. "The packers" bill was reported Kebruary 6 has not gotten, the floor yet. The wage bill has been out of . committee for months." "When the democrats were in power," Senator Thomas remarked, "they made it a practice to stay here all summer. For my part I'm willing to do so again." "This packer legislation has been before congress 'for three or four years." Senator Sherman put in. "It hasn't faced any particular discrim ination." "I have only rsked to get it up for discussion," Senator Kenyon said, and proceeded with his speech arraigning profiteers as "traitors."
