I do not think any Senator will contend that a conference committee can not insert a proper penal clause. They get together and confer as to the immigration prohibition of one kind and another. and when they have adjusted all differences between them they insert an appropriate penal clause punishing offenses against the act. which takes the place of a prior penal clause that was before the conference committee. I understand that that is entirely within the province of a conference committee. and that the proposition cannot possibly be gainsaid according to any principle of parliamentary law of which I ever heard.
