AS GOOD AS DEAD.

cationel bill WAS referred to the House
committee on education. 1t is very prob
sble that the bill will never come up for
consideration. The committee to which
IL has been referred is fully as hoetile to
the bill as the education committee OF the
last House wac, and the )mmittee in the
last House bl cked the Blstr bill so effec-
lively that Mr.. Wills and some other
srdeDt friends of tbs hill in the House
fought until they had the bill taken
from It's prope: committee and
referred to the committee on labor, but
the committee on labor was no more
friendly TO it. Mr.. Grain Of Texas was
the member who gave it the strongest OPP
position in the LABOR committee. He is q
member OF the committee on education
now, and chairman IF the sub committee
which Will have charge Of tnis bill. He
Is known TO be as strongly opposed to il.
as ever. Altogether the Blair bill may
now be regarded as shelved until it comes
up again In Tie Senate during the first
session of the Fifty Il st Congress, and
Oy thst time it may have lost even it's
ability to pass the Senate.
