I want to refer. in the first place. to a statement maade by my good friend from South Dakota with reference to the passage of several bills under what he denominates " compulsion and gag rule" in this House. and the anticipated punishment by the Postmaster General of those men who refuse to be bound by the &aucus. Since the statement has been made by my friend from South Dakota I have taken occasion to inquire of three or four gentlem~n in the cloakroom. who had reserved the right not to be bound by the caucus action on the shipping bill. as to whether Mr. Burleson or any other official- had interviewed them with reference to their position on the immigration bill or on the shipping bill. and I found that neither of these gentlemen were interviewed by the Postmaster General or anyone in his behalf. I also find that it is properly within the province of the minority to criticize the majority in its legislation. The majority.
