the bill would not yield, they defeated

scented to do, and the bill as amended

In the Senate the first bill to he de-
feated was McMillan's automatic brake
and car coupler bill. Senator Tawney
led the opposition, taking the ground
that the bill made the work of coupling
cars more dangerous. Tooverconc the
danger q national bill was required,
making cars q standard height and coup
lers of . uniform nature. Mr.. Tawncy
went on to say that coupling an old
style. coupler to new automatic was
TAR more dangerous than coupling two
old style couplers. Another of his ar.
guments was that the proposed system
would lower the class OF work done BY
brakemon, making it more like un.
skilled labor.
The Hompe bill came next and swaa
lost by vote Of "a yeas to 81 nays.
Senator Donnell made the only speech
against the bill and he kept the fioo.
only Tor q short time. The bill pro
vides that all articles published ii Z
newspaper rejecting in any wise upon
the character Of any person living Of
dead must bear the signature Of the

cations as well as editorials. It is moi
certain. but that the bill would be I
boon TO the public In some respects and
editors us wellsas It would result IN the
total extinguishment Of such old tamil.
