will give you my reasons. That bill provides that
no female can be employed in any KIND OF an ar,
rangenent of that kind-no play or anything OF
that kind.
| Mr.. BRAUNHART-No, sir AXIS
| Mr.. TYLER-we have Act now providing that
| no female shall be employed in any OF the places
| designated after o'clock in the evening" and it
seems to me that the rights and duties and privi-
| leges Of the female portion OF the community are
restricted far enough. do not believe in restrict
ing them any further and do not believe there is
| a half dozen men this floor that IN favor OF
restricting them any farther than they are now,
and believe large majority of US are in favor OF
| extending them little more.
| Mr.. BRAUNHART-The gentleman is entirely mis-
taken in the object Of the bill. The object OF the
bill is simply to prevent these dives on the Barbary
! Coast being kept open. They now permit them to
be kept open until IL o'clock, and wish to prevent
| them from being kept open at all. 1t is only IN
tended to reach at these dives, and if the gentle
man desires to have the bill rejected on that &C
count, am perfectly willing that the House be the
| judge Of it.
| MISUNDERSTANDING.
| Mr. Fox-I think this presents fair illustration
| of the benefit of reading bill at length. Now the
author of the bill tells that 1t means one thing
nv colleague from Alameda and myself understand
it differently If understand that bill correctly by
hearing it read, i: will cut off the employment of
the actresses of the best theater in California.

| given
Mr. BRAUNHART-I hope the gentleman will not
| place me in an improper position.
| The SPRAKER-The Clerk will return the BILL
Mr.. LANE object.
Mr.. TYIER-Then insist upon the vote rejecting
the bill if objection is made.
Mr. BR .USHART-I desire to state here before that
vote is taken that that the object of this is to
place me in an improper light before the people OF
| this State.
The SPEAKER-Ihe Chair will state that majority
vote is necessary to withdraw bill. The question
now is, Will the gentleman have leave to withdraw
the bill?
Mr. Fox-I hope the gentleman will have leave.
He thinks want to place him in a false position.

bill l do not believe ne intended to do that II

lessness of relying reading from the desk and
the advantage of relying upon our own reading IL

do not want to deny him the privilege of putting
himself right
The motion prevailed, and the bill was with
drawn.
Mr. SAYLE offered a Joint resolution relating to
pre-emption and homestead claims The long pre-
ambe set forth that many citizens had proved the
mineral off their lands, and that now the Commits
sioner OF the General Land Office had issued an
order directing the officers of the several District
Land Offices to require further proofs. The resolu-
| ton il as follows:
Resolved, by the Senate and Assembly OF the
State of California That Senators in Congress be
instructed and Representatives required to urge
by all honorable means to have the order OF the said
honorable Commissioner recalled or resclnded so FAR
| as the same relates to said citizens who have
! heretofore made proof and payment for the said
land through the Office of District land Offices hav
ing the disposal OF the and further, that the
| Governor be requested to forward a copy OF these

| Bill No. be referred to the Committee on Capital
and Labor.
Mr. Fox-That bill is not in the possession of the
House. 1t is in the possession of the Judiciary
| Committee
Mr. BRAUNHART-I desire to take it from the Ju
| dietary Committee.
| Mr. TYL. RI rise to point OF order that when
a bill has been referred, such resolution is in
order think the only way we can get it back is to
| wait until the committee report it back.
The SPEAKER-The Speaker will rule that the
committee have fifteen days in which to report on
| a bill that has been referred
Mr.. TYLER-I want to call your attention to the
fact that motion of this House to refer to the Ju
dietary Committee, or any other committee is like
any other motion, and can only be reached by re-
| consideration upon notice given at the time by
man who voted in the affirmative.
| Mr.. BRAUNHART- The gentleman assumes very
strange attitude Under the general head of mo-
tons and resolutions | can offer this resolution,
| and it be taken from the Judiciary Committee
by majority vote.
| Mr.. TYLER-Therc has been no such committee as
Capital and Labor appointed by the Chair
The SPEAKER-A motion is made to refer that bill
to the Committee Labor and Capital, and the bill
is referred to the Committee on Judiciary. The
Chair will hold that in order to do that there will
have to be resolution adopted withdrawing the
bill from the Committee on Judiciary and referring
it to the other committee 1t will require major
| ity vote to do so.
Mr. BRAuNuART changed his resolution to read
follows
Resolved, That Assembly Bill No. be withdrawn
from the Committee on Judiciary and referred to
the Committee on Labor and Capital.
Mr.. TYLER-I call for the reading OF the bill.
EIGuT-HoUR Law.
| Mr. BRAlxHART-I wish to state that the title of
this bill is for the protection of laborers public
| works. and it establishes the eight hOur-law pro-
vdes what amount shall be received by laborers on
public understanding that it is eminently proper
should be referred to the Committee on Labor and
Capital.
Mr.. TURF have had the exquisite pleasure of
reading the bill, and it seems to me that it is in the
exact place il ought TO be-the Committee JudicI
ciary. 1t provides
| Mr.. BRAUSaART-I rise 20 point OF order. The
merits of tine bill not up for discussion. The
| motion is simply for reference.
The SPEAKER-The gentleman is in order
Mr. TYLER was aware OF the fact but the gen.
tleman don't seem to be aware of it. l do not
! propose to discuss the merits of the bill. l am
| simply letting the House know what the bill is.
Now if this bill was passed into a law and flood
| should come here and begin to tear away the sur
roundings of this city, and the water likely to
come in every man would be guilty of offense that
| would work over eight hours day, or that proper
ton That shows simply the absurdity OF such
thing as that and hope the bill will remain where
it is If it Is proper bill to become law, they will
it can be referred to the Committee Capital and
Labor. IL seems to me now to be a little discourte
GUS to the Committee Judiciary after having sent
it to them to withdraw it before they have time to
| examine it.
SHARP CUTS.
/ Mr. MAYBELI-I am perfectly satisfied, for the
Republican party OF this State represented in this
chamber to put itself upon record against eight
hour law, and also in opposition to the people, or
in opposition to the expressed sentiment laid down
in the Constitution adopted by majority of the
people of this State.
Mr. TYIER-I was not aware that there was any
representatives of the Republican party on this
floor thought we all came here as representatives
of the people. 1t seems now that l am mistaken,
and that the gentlemen themselves understand that
they are here represent political party. If
they wish TO put themselves in that positio put
themselves on record l represent no political
party. l represent, in part-the whole people OF
California
The resolution was lost
