Some senators thought; the resolution might bind senators to vote for the bills but Sen ator Kern, chairman .of thc conference declared such was not Ita purpose and a clause stating this in specific terms wts adopted. The resolution says: "Resolved, -that the*.'conference, of democratic senators ?tier due co n s ld - eration, hereby declares th*'J the prqa |nt ee^H^^^qugreso si oj?bl^ptyid isttuds ?ii?l'T'nisf, It hames the trade commission, the railroad securities and the Clayton an.' ti-trust bills as the mearyrea to be in cluded. - The explanatory clause at tached to the resolution reads: "The resolution hereinbefore adopt ed IB intended merely as an expres sion of the purpose of the majority party in reference to adjournment."
