THE PLUCK ME BILL.

Representative Warren, of Bafay ette county, has intodueed a biII5 which, if it passes both branches of the General Assembly, will entall untold hardships, if not seriously embarrass, every corporation or person employing labor in this State The bill is said to be aimed at the saw mill or pluck me sup ply stores, and it has therefore be- come known as the "pluck me bill. No doubt great wrong is often per petrated upon saw mill hands and employees by these supply stores, but Mr. Warren's bill is so broad in it's scope and so far reaching in it's provisions that 1t will seriously ef- feet all employers of labor in this State, except the railroads and agri- eulturists, who are expressly ex- cepted from the operations of the bill. Tho bill provides let the bill speaks for itself.
 Sections one and two read as fol- lows.
 Section I. that hereafter all persons, cor porations and partnerships doing business in this State and employing labor by the day in carrying on such business. shall make q full and complete settlement with all persons SD employed either in legal tender currency of the United States or negotiable paper at least once every ten QW days, And all eom- mssary cheeks or tickets, time checks, mem oranda of time or any other character of de vice whatsoever issued to it's, his or their em- ployees for lahor by any such person. partner ship or corporation shall be negotiable and transferable notwithstanding any writing or device thereon attempting or purporting to render the same nom negotiable or aon-trans- ferable
 Section . That all persons. partnerships and corporations failing CT refusing to com ply with the provisions of section of this act shall he deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and subject to as many indictments and fines as there are persons with whom the settlement mentioned in section of this act is due, but h,ts not been made as provided in said section and on conviction thereof shall be fined in any sum not less than ten nor more than two hundred dollars for each oiIense.
 1t will be observed from the above that all employers of labor will be affected by the passage of this bill This means the blacksmith, printer, merchant, saw mill owner, contcac- tor, carpenter or meehanic-in fact every class and description, with the exception of railroads and agricul- turists. These are forced to settle with their employees every ten days in either legal tender currency of the United States or negotiable paper. the latter to fall into the hands of banks and the public generally so| that the maker thereof can be sued and closed out at any time should any untoward events cause him to fail to meet these demands at any time. What business can stand this? Is the merchant, the black smith, the printer, or any other em- ployer of labor absolutely certain that be ean pay his employes every ten days? Il not, what then2 He and his plant, shop or store must either remain idle or be prepared to be closed put at the expiration of

the ten days

the ten days.
 Mas ever bill introduced more foolish, hazardous and disastrous2 No doubt Chat frequent injustice and hardsbips are worked upon em- ploycs by saw mill eommissary stores, but then, it can be said in justice to the saw mill men that no industry has suffered more during the past three years than the lqm- Der industry Many of the mills have been running ata loss, while others have worked half-time just to keep their force organized and their men employed
 But why should all employers of labor suffer because of saw mill com missaries2 Il any of Bepresen tatYe Warrcn's constituents arc being 'placl1ed7 by the pluck me stores, why not introduce bill that will reach that particular class only and not all geheraly2
 As the bill now stands ii is q very disastrous measure, and will ruin and shut down three=fourths Of the employers of labor in this State.
 In the GRArHIo's opinion, the bill should be defeated
