Mr. GALLINGER. Mr. President, a large number of Renn. tors on both sides of the Chamber haY-c suggested that, in view of the work that is before the committees of the Sen!ltc, it would be well to adjourn over until Monday next. I notice that there are two measures on the calendar. I want to ask the Senators interested in those measures whether they will object to a motion for an adjournment until Monday

Mr . HEYBURN. I do not think that we can make it the unfinished business by unanimous consent Unfinished bu sines s is an automatic proposition. A bill or resolution become~ unfinished busine.ss because ot the position it has occupied on the calendar.

Mr. LODGE. .As to the matter of the unfinished business, I wish to say that unfinished business is created uy motion to take up a measure at a certain hour, nn<l, of course, the Senate can rna~e a measure the unfinished business by unanimous con sent. We can suspend the rules; we can do anything, practically, by unanimous consent. I have seen llcrc, I should say many times, agreements entered into to make n certain mea1:;ure the unfinished business at 2 o'clock. That is simply making the motion out of order; that is all.

Mr . CLARK of Wyomi.pg. Without reference to whether ornot the joint resolution can in this manner be made the unfin ishecl business, Mr. Prcsiclcnt, I desire to say to the Senator from Idaho [Mr. BonAH] that some of the members of the Committee on the Judiciary desire to file their views in writing with reference to the joint resolution. There has hardly yet been opportunity for them to get together, and therefore I hopethat no attempt will be made to bring the joint resolution formally before the Senate as the unfinished business until that Ct.l.n be done, which will be in. the very near future .
