Mr. Conger, of the commerce committee, which reported the bill, deprecated an ap parent disposition in Congress to give nndue weight to recommendations which did not come through the proper commit tee.

Mr. VanWyck replied that Xhe commerce committee had loaded down the bill before they reported it, and this loading down had been for the hem-tit of one end of the country.
