ment suggested by Chairman Finn. II
was Thought the committee would
smother the bill. but the senators are
afraid to do this after the publication
BY The Tribune of the letter showing
the condition OF the Cambria county
schools. When the measure gets TO
the floor Of the senate 1t will go
through with a whirl. Governor Hast
ings is said to be committed TO the bill
and win sign II as soon as 1t reaches
him.

tion committee. and ex-State Council
lor Kerr, Of the Junior Order OF Ameri-

Senator Ffinn's amendment placing the
penalty for the violation of the pro-
posed act upon the boards employing
teachers wearing religious garbs in the
schools instead of upon the teachers.

prominent members of the local coun-

Losch. Petts. Jones and Rrower eY.
District Attorney Jack Whitehouse,
County Chairman Payne and the board
Of county commissioners.
Major Losch claims Chairman Glke-
son, OF the state Republican committee,
Is trying to get the bill through by tell
Ing members that Senator Quay wants
It to become law. Losch says the peo-
pie OF Schuylkill county are opposed to
the bill because 1t robs them Of por-
tion Of the richest section Of the county
The part 1t Is proposed to take off this
county has increasedin valuation about
5000. 900 the past five or six years and Is
constantly growing richer through the
valuable coal fields which are being
opened up.
A meeting Of the Schuylkill and Lu-
zerne delegations in the house will be
held tomorrow morning to outline a
plan Of action when the bill Is reached.
1t Is believed they will filibuster against
1t as they did when 1t was up on second
reading in the hope Of disgusting men,
bers and inducing them to vote against
1t to get It out Of the way for other
legislation.
