But lie will probably have an opportunity to second some other request for an earlier consideration of the bill and an earlier vote upon the bill before he has an opportunity to second a request of that character. Why. just Saturday my colleague [Mr. P.0 NDEXTER] asked unanimous consent to consider the immigration bill. I think. upon the disposition of the District of Columbia bill. The Senator from Oklahoma. objected on that side. and stated as his reason for it that he proposed. as soon as this bill was disposed of. to move to take up the childlabor bill. then my colleague submitted another request. that iminediately upon the disposition of the childlabor bill the immigration bill should be made the unfinished business. Senators on that side of the Chamber objected to that request. But I have not despaired yet. Mr. President. of getting a vote upon the immigration bill at this session. andits passage. and until I am satisfied that we will not be able to get a vote. as I said a while ago. I will neither make any request for a vote on the 3d day of the second session in December nor Would I consent to it at this time.
