The virden Labor Trouble VIII Come Up
for Discussion.


Springfield. Ill. Jan. 1.-The 4lst gen.
eral assembly will V at moor on
next Wednesday. The organization OF
two houses will be effected on that
day. The governors message will
probably be submitted to the legisla-
ture some time during the afternoon.
There will be no United States senator
to elect this year, so that the first few
weeks will lack the political interest
which has distinguished the last two
regular sessions. However. there will
be an abundance OF other things to
make the session interesting at times
exciting and perhaps as prolonged rs
h average session. II will not be al
together without political interest. for
at this time II seems probable that an
attempt will be made at congressional
reapportionment. The republicans will
control both houses by n majority
which will probably be sufficient TO
pass n apportionment measure that
may be agreed upon. Nothing very
radical will be attempted In the way
of apportionment. the changes In all
probability being confined TO a few dis
sricts. Final adjournment Is not ex-
pected before the latter part of May or
early I'm June.
Labor legislation viii occupy a large
share OF attention. The events of h
past year. more particularly the min
ing troubles at Nirden and Pana. have
created a pronounced sentiment in IA
vor of a law which win effectively pre-
vent the Importation OF negroes in large
from other states. A general
feeling among the members is In favor
of q law which will keep out OF the state

other states, such as precipitated the
