House Action On Indian Bonds And Deficiency Bill
The House reconvened at ten with about fifty members. Sherman urged a resolution of inquiry to learn what steps the Treasury took to collect from West Virginia the share of Indian bonds tied to old Virginia. A quorum issue led to a brief delay, then a vote approved the resolution. The House suspended rules to pass a $25,000 deficiency bill for members’ pay and mileage, $12,000 for committees, $900 for Capitol grounds, and $20,000 for Behring Sea patrol, and concurred with Senate amendments on package imports. The merchant marine reform bill passed, limiting shipboard penalties and revising wages and rations. The conference report on the post office appropriation was approved.
