and the result is that if the House ad
journs on July 4, the date which is con
templated, there will be no chance for
the bill to pass. It requires unanimous
consent to bring it up, and that cannot
be obtained.

merchandise in transit through the coun
try will be allowed to go forward. The
statement says tbe presumable object of
the clause is to secure statistical infor
mation regarding exports, but declares
that the practical effect will be a dis
crimination against American railroads
in favor of foreign lines, as shippers will
not submit to the. annoyance proposed
in the regulation. It says a similar reg
ulation was put in force some years ago
by an order of the Treasury, but was re
voked on vigorous complaints by Amer
ican roads.
