THIRD READING.
On third reading of bills Treacy's bill
No. II was read. It provides as fol-
lows:
THE minimum compensation to be
paid for labor upon all work performed
under the authority of any law Of this
State, or under the direction, control,
or by the authority Of any officer of this
State acting in his official capacity, or
under the direction, CONTROL or by the
authority Of any municipal corporation
within this State, or Of any officer
thereof acting as such, is hereby fixed
at 81 per day; and stipulation to that
effect must be made part Of all con-
tracts to which the State or any muni-
cipal corporation therein is a party"
Treacy spoke in support of his bill
with much feeling and emphasis.
Chynoweth agreed with the spirit OF
the bill, but believed the construction
faulty. Valentine thought it would be
imperative as drawn.
Godfrey heartily supported the bill.
Dennery the same. Malcolm and So
ward spoke in it's favor.
Bridgford offered an amendment ex
cluding the irrigation districts from the
operation of the bill.
Treacy spoke with fire and earnest
ness against the amendment He be-
lieved the workingmen in those dis
tricts needed the same protection as
elsewhere and he appealed to members
to take a broad view of this matter
and, for once, to look generously to the
good Of their fellow men. Treacys elo-
quent speech gained the applause Of the
whole house.
Dennery also got round of applause
for his defense of the bill and opposi-
ton to the amendment.
Godfrey hoped the amendment would
not prevail. Shanahan favored giving
the workingmen everywhere 50 per day
in solid cash. (Applause)
Bridgford contended the amendment
was in the interest of labor Irrigation
districts were nearly bankrupt from
hard times and if this measure passed
they would be ruined
Valentine was called to the chair
Bridgford's amendment was lost and
Treacy's bill carried by a vote quite
outside of party lines.
The noise and confusion in the House
for an hour previous to adjournment
was unbearable and many members
gave up trying to know what was going
on.
