upon the statute books as part OF the

one law that promises to be Of real ana
lasting importance to Chicago.
The Scion ii. Case punishment bill,
which was opposed by organized labor,
reduces the wage-earner's exemption 10

contrary to the enlightened public pol
Icy which hitherto has prevailed. ana
which seeks to protect unfortunate
debtors from prosecution by creditors.
This exemption for wage-earners con-
trasts poorly with the exemptions al
lowed other classes of debtors.

been In the money lOaning business for
some time. and this Is said to be the
reason why he fathered the Infamous
garn!shment bill and lab0red SO hard
until 1t became u law. Some people
say that Scion II. Case had the name,
and consequently was bound to have
the game. Scion need haze no fear that
he will be forgotten by the labOrlng-
men of Illinois, nor by the voters of the
Second Senatorial District.
