RIGHTS OF UNION LABOR.

first time in the house yesterday, ana
was responded to by fairly good
attendance Only two or three mat
tiers of unusual interest were dis
posed of, one of these being Mr..
Brevig's newspaper bill. Mr.. Brevlg
has not commanded any particularly
wide range of notice during the Ses-
sion, but the authorship, or rather
the introduction, of this bill, which
some one else drew, will give him
a certain nOtOriety, which will be
general, if not desirable. The pur-
pose of the bill is to require a new
contract between the publisher and
subscriber in order to renew sub
scription TO a newspaper. The bill is
aimed at the country papers, and
does not affect city publica tons par
ticularly, as the latter class require
cash subscriptions. The country pa
per holds its subscription largely on
the open account plan, and a sub
scriber may continue to take a pa
per for ever so many years, and I'M
less he has formally renewed the
contract at the expirat ton of the
hrst year he can only be held for
one year under the provisions of Mr..
BreVig's bill. The country editors are
up IN arms against the passage of
the bill, and their REPRESENTATIVE
on the floor of the house will be
heard upon the matter when it comes
upon its final passage.

ONE OF VANS TRICKS.
Judge Littleton was in the chair in
the afternoon, being called from his seat
by the side of handsome young la,iy in
the center of the house by the speaker,
VINO Immediately pre-empted the seat
just vacated by the gentleman from
Dodge. The house went into commit
tee of the whole and disposed of some
thirty bills, most of them going to the
calendar. The only notable discussion
OF the session was upon Senator Nor
CAMS bin making it a misdemeanor for
any company to require as a condition
of employment that the employe should
withdraw from or refrain from Join
Ing any labor organization.
Mr.. Underleak, from the committee
on Judiciary, reported an amendment,
the purpose of which was that no en-
ploye or member of any labor organi-
cation shall by force or persuasion in
fiuence any other employee or candidate
for employment to join any labor or
ganization. Upon this amendment the
fight was made, and it was a hot one
from start to finish.
Mr.. Lockwood warmly supported the
amendment and got into a wrangle
with Mr.. Feig over the effect of the
resolution, Mr.. Feig holding that the
amendment not only invalidated the
original bill, but laid additional bur
dens and harGships on organized labor
Mr.. Lockwood said if organized labor
could not afford to be subject to the
same law that governed organized
capital then it was wrong The amend
ment placed labor and capital on the
same OASIS. Eacn was prohibited from
boycoIting or coercing the other, and
the non-union man was given the same
protection as the union man. That was
fair and right, and labor organizations
would have 10 stand by it.
+ A $50 INCIDENT.
Mr.. Underleak related an incident
that had much to do with the drawing
of the amendment. A stonemason who
had employment and desired to Join
the union was let out because the
union had raised the admission fee to
$50, and he could not get the money.
Mr.. Tallman. bluntly characterized
this recital as a cock and bull story, "
made up for effect and MrDah said he
was member of the judiciary commit
tee, and would like to see the color OF
the hair of the man who had related
that incident. He landed on the amend
ment with right and left in quick sue.
