Gardner Narrowly Misses Push For House Rule Change
In Washington on December 15 Representative Augustus P Gardner of Massachusetts came within 13 votes of forcing a House vote on a resolution to appoint eight members to study revising House rules. The move, tied to negating an information demand on the Secretary of State, was defeated 167 to 42 after a series of points of order and procedural battles. The session also revived debate on a bill to codify and amend federal Penal laws, including Garrett’s amendment restricting futures advertising via mail and Campbell’s attack on the New York Stock Exchange amid Roosevelt’s supporting message. The House adjourned with the matter unresolved.
