Always having a call on calendar Wednesday for either House or Union Calendar. and then at any time having a call under the old rule for the House Calendar. with full power to get at the Union Calendar after sixty minutes. it seems to the Chair that It was to the advantage of the House in the dispatch of business to make the ruling that he has. Now. what is the gentlemans contention? Not that calendar Wednesday is to be frittered away or abrogated. but he makes the point that a certain committee would have been called If there had not been intervening business in the morning. probably on call of committees. instead of the Committee on Naturalization and Immigration. But it Is calendar Wednesday. and it is quite In the power of the House to work its will. not In the construction of the rule. but in the disposition of business of the Committee on Immigration and Naturalization. It Is a mere contest between two most excellent committees. voiced by two exceedingly excellent Members. as to which shall go first today. The Chair overrules the point of order.
