SECOND DRILL
43

Mr. R. I move to strike out the words "if it were." [Seconded, stated, put, and the amendment adopted.]

Chairman. Are there any further amendments to the original resolution? [No response.] The proposed substitute is now open to amendment.

Mr. S. I move to amend the substitute by inserting "industrial" before "chemists." [Seconded, stated, put, and the amendment adopted.]

Chairman. Are there any further amendments to the substitute proposed? [No response.] The original resolution is as follows, "Resolved, That it is a mistake to look on cooking as a lower grade of work than tending a machine in a factory or clerking in a store." It is proposed to substitute for this the following resolution: "Resolved, That in the interest of health the cook should rank with industrial chemists." As many as are in favor of the motion to substitute say Aye. Those opposed say No. The ayes have it and the motion to substitute is adopted. The question is now[1] on the resolution as amended which is, "Resolved, That in the interest of health the cook should rank with industrial chemists." As many as are in favor of the resolution say Aye. Those opposed say No. The ayes have it and the resolution is adopted. Is there any further business?

Mr. T. I move to adjourn. [Seconded.]

  1. The previous vote only substituted the new resolution for the old one. It is now necessary for the assembly to decide whether it will adopt the new pending resolution.
