WILLIS GAINS HIS POINT.
THE BLAIR BILL GOES TO THE
LABOR COMMITTEE.

MIR. Miller Makes Futile Effort to
Again Bottle the Measure in the Room
OF the Committee ON Education-The
Vote I'm Detail.
WASHINGTON, March pa bill was
introduced in the House to-day by Mr..
Willis, of Kentucky, to aid in the estab-
lishment and temporary support Of COM
mon schools.
Mr.. Willis moved TO refer It to the Com.
| mlttee on Labor.
Mr.. Miller, OF Texas, moved as an
amendment to refer 1t TO the Committee
on Education.
In reply to question by Mr.. Randall
Mr. willis stated that the measure was
| Identical with the Blair bill.
Mr.. Randall asked IL reasonable time
would not be allowed for debate, in order
to afford an opportunity for explanation
! OF the reasons for the proposed change OF
reference. But there were cries OF 1.-The
regular order"
Mr.. Miller's amendment was lost by 1l5
| yeas to 1873 nays.
Mr.. Willis motion was then agreed to
| by los yeas 10 lib nays. So the bill was
referred to the Committee on Labor.
JUST WHAT HE EXPECTED.
The reference OF the bill TO the Commits
tee on Labor was what Mr.. Willis ex-
pecteG. IL Is what he has been working
| for during the past two weeks, using his
personal influence and his influence as
Chairman OF the Committee on Rivers and
Harbors, members say, TO affect doubtful
| votes.
! 1t is certainly an interesting fact that
all the members who got particularly
large appropriations into the river and
harbor bill prepared by Mr.. Willis com-
mittee supported MIR. Willis to-day. How
ever this does not OF course ac-
count for the majority OF the
votes which his motion received. They
were cast either by Northern men
like Gov. Long and Gov. Dingley, VINO
believe that bill for the education of IL
literates in the South should be passed,
and that in no event should a bill propos-
ing such education be smOthered in COM
! mittee or by Southern and Western'me
who frankly avOw their desire for Federal
assistance in their State educational sys-
tens. Opposed TO Mr.. Willis were the
leaders OF both sides, except Mr.. Ding
ley Gov. Long, Messrs. Hammond and
Turner and the more faithful revenue re-
formers and believers in economy.

will. The vote on the final passage will
depend upon the shape the bill takes in
