than on any day since the session
ges OF pleasantrieg between members
and many earnest and able debates.
Mr.. Critchlow took the lead in the
latter, and in advocating one measure
in particular made a brilliant effort.
The feature of the day was perhaps
the effort of the Democratic minority
to get through a concurrent resolution
censuring Utah's United States SEN
ators for the position they took in re-
gard to the senate substitute for the
tariff bill. The resolution was con-
ceived by "QuiP' Nebeker in his ir-
repressfble spirit of fun, and was
couched in all the verbosity of lam
guage which was embodied in Senator
Allison's Bayard memorial, and which
caused so much fun to- he poked at that
gentleman in the early part OF the
session.
The resolution was introduced, how
ever, by Mr.. Monson, in real earnest
ness, who made serious effort to have
it adopted It created no end of mer-
riment and the Republicans, led by
Mr.. Critchlow, tried by every conceiV-
able means to prevent 1t from being
read; but the Democrats, assisted by
several Republicans, succeeded in car
rying through the reading to the end
and getting it into the minutes, al
though the resolution was itself IN
definitely postponed.
The debates of the day occurred on
H. B. 20 and substitute for H. B. rs,
which was s. 3. 80. Both bills were
ably championed and vigorously OPP
posed, but were eventually passed. me
former provides for assessing 9ttor-
ney's fees to the defendant when
laborer sues for wages and establishes
his Just claim. The latter prohibits
pooling by persons or corporations for
the purpose of keeping up the price of
any commodity.
Senate bill 46 was also passed and
considerable other routine business
transacted.
THE PROCEEDINGS.
Mr.. Heiner presented another petit
ton, praying for the enactment of
Senator Allisons bill for the Austria
liam election law.
Mr.. Thorn presented a petition for
relief from Robert Till of Provo, who
asked for $4,000 to reimburse him for,
as he alleged, having 120 acres of land
confiscated by the board of appraisers
of university lands.
The claim of NJ. II. Thomas of Ogden
for 1920 for grand jury service, was
presented by Mr.. Curtis
A message from the senate notified
the house of the passage of H. B. No.
101, comforting on the judges Of dis
trict courts the powers and duties

On the consideration of committee

municipal corporations, recommending
the passage of a substitute for II. B.
No. g. was taken from the table and
adopted.
The committee on labor reported ad-
verseIy on H. 3. No. Z, which provided
for the establishment of free Eybor
bureaus The report was adopted.
WILL COME UP TODAY.
The same committee reported adj
versely on H. B. No. 4S, pro
off their employees in saloons
and prohibiting certain other un-
Just determinations against labor.
The report was adopted, but this &C
ton was later reconsidered, upon mo-
ton of the author. Mr.. Howard, and
further consideration laid over till to-
day.
The judiciary committee recommend
ed the passage of II. 3. No. Sc, regu-
lating and extending the powers of

ing recess of court. The report was
adopted.
A communication from the governor
transmitted to the house the report
of the Utah Worlds Fair commission.
MONSON OFFERS A RESOLUTION.
At this point Mr.. Monson offered a
concurrent resolution censuring Sena-
tors F. j. Cannon and Arthur Brown
for their attitude toward the silver
substitute for the tariff bill in the
United States senate. The clerk had
read but a line or two when Mr..
Critchlow objected to the consideration
of the resolution, thinking to prevent
the reading, the objection being sup
ported by Mr.. NYe Mr.. Nebeker of
Rich said he desired to hear the reso-
luton read, adding that after he had
heard what was in it he would per-
haps sustain the gentleman's objection.
"Quirs" face was as sober as a judge,
while broad smile overspread the
countenance Of every other member.
Mr. Critchlow admired the gentle
mans excellent control of his facial
expression, but he was satisfied
the gentleman was quite well
aware of what was in the
resolution and insisted on his oh
lection. The speaker ruled against
him, however, and held that the OBJ
lection was out of order until the reso-
luton had been read. Mr. Critchlow
was obdurate and appealed from the
decision of the chair. Before the mo-
ton was put Mr. Nebeker of Rich read
the rule upon the point and the house
then sustained the speaker by a rising
vote.
CRITCHLOW PERSISTS.
The reading was again ordered but
the clerk had proceeded but a line or
two more when Mr.. Critchlow moved
to strike out the resolving clause. The
speaker held the motion out of order,
taking the ground that the house had
ordered the reading Of the resolution.
Again Mr.. Critchlow appealed from
the speakers ruling, the house again
sustaining the speaker. This time the
vote was 20 to IL. Mon2on had in the
meantime risen to say he would like
the house to hear the resolution read.
Mr. Morrison remarked that the action
of the senators did not affect the gen
tlenan from Cache as he had not voted
for them. Mr.. Monson replied that
they were his representatives just the
same
Once more the reading progressed,
but not far when Mr.. Critchlow again
addressed the speaker, moving to re-
consider the vote by which the house
decided to hear the resolution read
The speaker a third time held the gen
tleman out of order and a third time
Mr.. Critchlow appealed from the de-
cision. Mr. Howard remarked that the
gentleman had better appeal from the
decision of the house. Mr.. Gibson said
