Mr. President. the Senator who has charge of. this bill. the Senator from South Carolina . has taken care practically of all those persons who were inserted as being exceptions to the rule. with the exception of the farmers of the Northwest. and I should like to call the Senators attention to and have him answer one or two propositions concerning this provision. I notice that there are excepted from the pass provision ministers of religion. traveling secretaries of Railroad Young Mens Christian Associations. inmates of hospitals and charitable and eleemosynary institutions. and persons exclusively engaged in charitable and eleemosynary work. also care takers of live stock. etc.. employees on sleeping cars and express cars. linemen of telegraph and telephone companies. customs inspectors and immigrant inspectors. and newsboys on trains generally. I should like to have some good reason stated why linemen of telegraph and telephone companies are given this special privilege. Is it because the institutions which employ them can be said to be charitable institutions?
