FOOTE'S BILL PASSED.
Board Of Arbitration to Be
Paid By the Days
Work.
Especial to .sThe Jersey city News" u

Especial to 1.-THE Jersey City News."1
TRENTON, March %. 190l-Mr Albeit
has introduced in the House joint reso-
luton providing for the diversion of the
State into twenty-one Senatorial districts
to be as mar the same population as pos
sible. Even if it had been introduced
in the session earlier it would have had
no more chance of being adopted than it
has now.
The demogogues were very much in
evidence yesterday afternoon when Mr..
Foote'S bill to reduce the pay of the
State Board of Arbitration from yearly
salary 900 to compensation of $40
for each day actually engaged was taken
up in the House for the third time Mr.
Foote spoke at length for his bill saying
that it had been introduced at the in
stance of the Governor, who deemed the
Board unnecessary. 1t was thought. how
ever, that the Board should not be wiped
out entirely so the proposition to pay the
members for work actually done was
brought in.
Then the young men who talk to the
galleries without much idea of what they
are talking about broke loose. They paid
little attention to the bill under consider
alton and directed their efforts to showing
what great friends they were to labor and
what enemies of the working man were
those who favored the passage of the
bill. All the Hudson men voted against
the measure but it was passed just the
same.
The bill to limit the salaries of build
ing and loan association officers to five
per cent of the total monies received for
dues and assessments was defeated in the
Senate.
The Governor has signed the Hoboken
drainage bill.
