people say tina, there is law enough on the
subject, ami good judges and jusists have
repeatedly said that the original eoaspirae,
ac, on the Statute book tsee. Is, chap. sss
/ r. s. covers ali the gruuad. The oppo
nents of this bill under consideration want Il
know why the lsboring people consider thi;
law special menace 10 them. Ihe cotton
and wool-n manufacturers OF thss s. L
have org ganized themselves into an assseis-
| ton, and they have laws that govern theli
actions of which outsiders are ignorant. II

the first question is. ..Where Iii YOU work

They will give no reason for their action

will say in conclusion that in several
states of this Union conspiracy laws have
! been enacted. and in almost every one, ii
not every one, this law has been repealed
Ii has been found to be menace 10 GU,
Commonwealth, and do hope. Mr.. presi-
dent, that Maine will not be the last 10 fall
into line in this regard. hope that the
| motion of the senator from Piscataquis will
not prevail.
Mr. Peaks | simply want to call the
attention of the Senate to the assertion Of
the senator from Knox that the law now on
the Statute is sufficient. 1t is not. II
takes two TO make conspiracy under tha,
law, and the law which is now sought to be
repealed provides that one person can be
convicted.
l hold inmy hand a threatening letter
received by the agent of the Atwood Lock
Co, and will read it. mir. Peaks reads
the letter. This statute is aimed at jus,
| such things AS this letter. That is all
have 10 say about the matter, Mr.. President.
ON division l6 voted in favor of the
motion of the senator from Piscataquis 10
indie tinitely postpone. and six against.
On motion of Mr.. Hill of kenncbec,
Senate document No. lo4, majority and
minority reports of the committee on inland
fisheries and game on bill an act relating
to the taking of fish by non-residents of the
State, was taken from the table, and Tues
day next assigned for its consideration.
On motion of Mr.. Shaw of Aroostook,
House document No. lG4, resolve in favor
of the normal and Maddawaska training
schools in Maine, was taken from the table.
Mr.. Shaw: This matter comes from the
House indefinitely postponed. l want to
say a few words to the Senate on the 81 b.
jcct This resolve provides for an appro-
pration of $1,000 for Insurance. on these
school buildings, and it was the unanimous
opinion of the committee on education that
these buildings should be protected. |
therefore move, Mr.. President, that We
non n-concur with the House, and that this
resolve take its first reading.
Mr., Allan of Washington There is one
thing to be considered here. of course the
State is perfectly able to insure its own
buildings, but it must be remembered that
the Legislature only meets once in two years,
and if s. school building should burn down
just after this Legislature adjourns there
would he no way of providing for the schol-
ars for nearly two years. ! believe that
these buildings should be insured, and !
also believe that there should be some pro-
vision made so that the school could be
rebuilt with the insurance money.
Mr.. Thatcher of Penobscot 1t seems TO
me that the bill is in the line of good sound
business management. ! therefore second
the motion of the senator from AToostook.
but it seems to me that the bill ought to be
amended so as to authorize the committee
on education to use the money for the re-
building of the building burned.
Repl, ing TO a question of the senator from
York (Mr Deering) Mr.. Shaw said that the
value of the buildings included in this re-
solve was about SlI000U or sl50,o 900, and
that it was proposed to pnt an insurance of
5000 upon them. The rate would he
one and one-fourth per cent for three years,
which would be Just $1,000.
ON the motion being put the Senate non
concurred with the House, and the resolve
was accordingly read first time an'l as
signed.

porate the South Berwick Water Company

port of the committee on Eastern Maine
