half dozen children, and his salary

of his term of service drew near. and
his eyes told story of suffering and
despair.
Dean Waters, a fellow employe. saw
all this. 1t made him sick at heart. and
his folks saw that something was the
matter, but he kept his thoughts to
himself For a week he watched the
other workmen suffer in silence and
at night he could not sleep for thinking
OF the hardships in store for this mans
wife and little ones. Then he made a
resolve. Going to the head of the de-
partment, he said:

S. ]. r. 8, asking for suspension of
joint rule 36, is an effort to pay the
attorneys in the contested election case
of Dennery VS.. Ashe more than the fee
agreed upon by the Joint Committee
of Rules and Regulations of the two
houses for attorneys fees in such
cases. Valentine opposed the resohi-
ton. He claimed that it would open
the door to further demands, and that
if the parties in such cases had to pay
the fees out of their own pockets they
would not be fastening to come before
the Legislature, pleading to be allowed
to pay more. The resolution was lost.
NO RECONSIDERATIO
Wardell was compelled, by a motion
of Dibble, to bring up his notice of mo-
ton to reconsider the vote by which
A. B. 26O, amending the Act providing
for the burial of ex- Union soldiers, etc,
had been passed. Wardell had claimed
that Dibbles bill, which calls for an
allowance of SO for each headstone,
was exorbitant. He had letters from
San Francisco undertakers claiming
that the cost at the Preside was but
S1.35, and that a less price than $40
might be fixed. But it was explained
that to ship to many mountain dis
tricts, set up and inscribe the head
stones, would cost the full amount al
lowed. and that if it were done for less
no more than actual cost need be al
lowed by the Supervisors.
Wardell's motion to reconsider was,
on motion, laid on the table.
ANOTHER REFUSAL.
Dunlap called up his notice CT motion
to reconsider the vote by which A r..
1O2 defining mortgages, was refused
passage. On roll-call reconsideration

BILLS PASSED.

fornia, said section to be designated as
Section 65531a, relating to the fees
charged by employment agencies, ard
providing that employers instead OF
employees shall pay the fees charged
by such agencies, was read the third
time.
Ashe spoke to the bill, and explained
that it was intended to prevent wealthy
shipowners and sharks from fleeing
seafaring men, The bill, he said, was
identical with a measure fathered in
Congress by Stephen M. White.
Smith said that employment agencies
ought to be regulated so that the Ia
borer would not be fleeced. He would
be willing to meet Ashe half way, but
as the bill stood he would be obliged
to oppose it.
Shortridge protested against reguiat-
ing private business. He said that hui
man liberty was being crucif1ed by
regulations. If, he said, he was con-
Quoting an employment agency he
would go to Jail before he would obey
the law if it passed. He hoped to see
to set it's seal of disapproval upon the
passage of sumptuary laws.
Braunhart spoke to the question, de-
manding that it be given due consider
alton.
Ashe closed the debate, submitting
that he was no regulator but that he
was a restrictor. He had thought lit
tie about the needs of such a law be-
fore he personally investigated the
matter. The conditions, he said We're
such as demanded a restriction, and he
hoped the bill would pass.
The bill was passed. to 9.
