THE PRESIDENT: The time having ex-
pired, the question arises — Delegate
Borom, for what purpose do you rise?
DELEGATE BOROM: May I address
an inquiry to you?
THE PRESIDENT: State the inquiry.
DELEGATE BOROM: Delegate Gil-
christ did qnote from the Sun Paper a
while ago and I think it is really out of
context.
I would like the privilege from the chair
to complete one paragraph. I will not be
speaking extemporaneously.
THE PRESIDENT: Very well.
DELEGATE BOROM: This is quoting
Bradford Jacobs in The Sim.
"There is one distinct undisputed bless-
ing. Labor, which got what it wants, seems
certain to support the new constitution
when it is tested at the polls next spring.
Management, which got other things, can-
not gracefully work against it, neither may
like the company, but both will be pushing
there standing side by side."
THE PRESIDENT: The question arises
on the vote to reconsider. A vote Aye is a
vote in favor of reconsideration. A vote No
is a vote against. This is not a vote on the
amendment. If the motion to reconsider
carries, the Chair will then submit to you
for adoption or rejection Amendment No. 5
without further debate. The vote now is
on the motion to reconsider. A vote Aye in
favor of reconsideration ; a vote No against.
Cast your votes.
Has every delegate voted? Delegate
James Clark?
DELEGATE J. CLARK: I vote no.
THE PRESIDENT: Delegate James
Clark votes no.
Does any delegate desire to change his
vote? The Clerk will record the vote.
There being 64 votes in the affirmative
and 58 in the negative, the motion to re-
consider is passed.
The question now arises on Amendment
No. 5. A vote Aye is a vote in favor of
Amendment No. 5, which would delete sec-
tion 1.17; a vote No is a vote against
Amendment No. 5, which would leave sec-
tion 1.17 in the draft subject to further
consideration and amendment.
The question now arises on Amendment
No. 5. A vote Aye is a vote in favor of
|
the amendment; a vote No a vote against.
Cast your vote.
Has every delegate voted? Delegate
James Clark.
DELEGATE J. CLARK: I vote Aye.
THE PRESIDENT: Delegate James
Clark votes Aye.
Does any delegate desire to change his
vote? Delegate Carson.
DELEGATE CARSON: I am confused,
myself. Will you explain again what a
vote yes is?
THE PRESIDENT: Yes, I will, particu-
larly because I switched the lever the
wrong way myself.
So that there will be no misunderstand-
ing about it, let me remind you that when
we had Amendment No. 5 before us before
there were three other amendments which
would have amended section 1.17 in the
draft. They were withdrawn when Amend-
ment No. 5 was adopted. Amendment No. 5
deleted the entire section.
I would assume that if Amendment No.
5 is adopted again, these other amendments
would not be offered. I would assume that
if Amendment No. 5 is not adopted, is re-
jected, that section 1.17, being then before
you and open to further amendment, we
would consider the other amendments. In-
asmuch as the time at which we must ad-
journ is here, it could not be done until
after the dinner hour, but it would be the
purpose of the Chair to put the amend-
ments to you immediately thereafter.
The vote now is on Amendment No. 5 to
Committee Recommendations R&P-1 and
R&P-2 as amended by S&D-9. Amendment
No. 5 deletes all of section 1.17. A vote
Aye, therefore, is a vote in favor of the
amendment to delete the entire section; a
vote No is a vote against the amendment,
leaves the section as it is on page 4 of your
draft: a vote Aye is in favor of deletion, a
vote No, a vote against.
Is there any further question? Has every
delegate voted? Delegate Boyce.
DELEGATE BOYCE: This is the first
time we have had a vote on the board
where there has been a ten-minute explana-
tion before it was tallied. Could we tally it,
please, sir?
THE PRESIDENT: I have always re-
sponded to any request to explain the
matter before the Committee for vote. This
is no departure from that rule.
