The measure was introduced by Rep, Young of North Dakota. Passage of the measure came at the end of a stormy session during which a handful of Democrats aided by a few Republicans had harassed the leaders lof the Republican side persistently for more than four hours. Charges that the Republicans bowed to the “dicta- tion of the senate” were hurled not only by Representative Garrett, Ten- nessee, acting Democratic leader, but nessee, acting Democratic leader, but by two Republicans as well. Battle Continued. The battle was later continued when Representative Mondell, Wyoming, Re- publican floor leader, announced 2 plan for the house to meet SaturSay afternoon to receive a report from the immigration committee, This was ob- iected to by Mr. Garrett, who sa‘d the Republican members of the immigrs- tion committee had acted without first having organized their committ-e.
