Printed Bills.
| An act to regulate the packing of fish
in Theoretically sealed cans.
Pending the third reading of the bill,
Mr. Rodick of Eden offered amendments
A and i, which were adopted.
| Mr.. Shea of PASSPORT said he objected
to this bill because it is fastening legis
| lation. At this late day this bill has been
rather sprung upon us here. | move that
the bill be indefinitely postponed.
Mr.. Rodiek of Eden said that this bill
came before our committee q week ago
last Wednesday. We have postponed Il
hearing upon it day after day to accom-
modate certain parties. Now they come
up here and say that this is snap legisla-
tion because they have not succeeded en-
tirely in discriminating the bill in the
committee. Perhaps this bill may not be
perfect but it is q step in the right direc-
tion. If it is not exactly what we want,
we can amend it two years from now.
Mr.. Lawrence of Lubec: l say to you
still it is snap legislation. The packers in
the State have never had sufficient notice
Why should you as business men pass
law which says to us we should not do so
and so? In regard to the amount Of oil
to be used, there are certain cases when
gallon of oil is not sufficient, and If you
use a gallon Of oil it does make good
article. The packers OF Maine don't
want this bill and l hope it will not pass
Mr. Hope of Castino said that this law
provides that these packers of sardines
should put up good goods, and L think
that is what the honest packer wants
They want law that will protect them,
and we want q law that will protect the
people Out of 60 factories | think 81 do
not object to this bill, and DOM see how
any factory that wants to put up good
goods can object. | hope the law will
pass even if it is late in the session.
Mr.. Crockett of North Haven said that
the gentleman from Lubec has said that
this was trap sprung upon him. This
law was introduced three weeks ago next
Saturday 1t has had as much time as
any other bill. There are only 81 Gamers
that have demonstrated against this bill,
leaving 36 that want it, We have con
tinued our hearing on this question several
times. l hope we will give this bill a
passage.
Mr.. Plummer of Dexter said that he
wished to say one word in explanation OF
his proposed vote on this matter AS the
bill is printed / should have been CON
strained to vote against it on account OF
section 2 and the latter part of section 3,
which have been stricken out by the
amendments of the gentleman from Eden.
As the bill remains as amended, it seems
to me to be meritorious bill and in the
interest of better food and health of the
people Consequently l shall vote for the
bill as amended.
Mr.. Lawrence: 1t has been stated that
there were only "a firms demonstrating
against this bill. In my own town there
are Is firms, and all those Is films with
two exceptions have signed that remon
STRANGE. There are IS firms and not GO as
has been stated, and out of that 90 you
cannot find 10 packers that have not re
monstrated against this bill. Packers
comprising nine tenths of the capital in
this business are opposed to this bill.
The question being on the motion of the
gentleman from PASSPORT that the bill as
amended be indefinitely postponed, MIR.
Hamlin of Ellsworth moved that when the
vote be taken it be by the yeas and nays.
