not favor yielding to popular clamor
unless the measure asked for was right
and just. The bill was unconStitution-
! al and could not be enforced.
Snow did not believe in limiting a
mans privileges. He wanted every one
/ TO have the right to discharge a man
! for any reason he chooses. Replying
/ to question, he said he would give q
man right to dismiss a man from his
! private employ on account of political
reasons if he so willed, and did not
think a man should have any redress
| If he was dismissed because he was a
member of a union.
| Booth was not prepared to vote to
| strike out the enacting clause. He
/ thought the measure applied chiefly to
/ corporations. which took this means of
suppressing unionism. When a cor
| poration wanted to dismiss men be-
cause they belonged to unions, they
/ did so, and it was curtailing mans
rights to cause him to lose his work
on this account. If the law against
blacklisting was right, this bill was
also right, for they had one and the
same purpose to accomplish. The cor
porations send lists to one another and
/ say this man is q member Of such a
union; do not hire him. It is condi-
tion which should not be permitted.
The enacting clause was stricken out,
Booth, Candland and Glen Miller Vot-
ing no.
COURT STENOGRAPHERS
Senate bill SIS, the act relating to
presidential electors, passed first read
ing, and then the substitute offered by
the committee on judiciary relating to
stenographers for the district courts,
came up.
The various members got entangled
in a lengthy discussion as to whether
fees collected by them should be turned
into the treasury of the county where
court is being held or into the state
treasury.
Chidester and other country members
are of the opinion that the state should
pay the expenses of all criminal trials,
and therefore the fees should be paid
into the treasury of the state, While
Booth and Sutherland are of the opin-
ion they should be paid into the treas
ury of the county. The bill was passed
to second reading.
The following by Sutherland was in
troduccd and passed under suspen-
sion of the rules:
