The Ohio legislature convened at p.
M, Monday in extraordinary session to
enact laws to provide for the government
of municipalities and to restore lost juris-
diction TO the supreme court, these matters
having been rendered chaotic by the
action of the court during the early sum-
mer.
After roll call the governors message,
accompanied by municipal code bill,
prepared under the direction of the chief
executive. was received. Following this
resolutions were offered on the death of
L. William Bell, jr., former secretary of
state and at the time of his death a MEM
ber of the house. Adjournment was then
taken.
The proceedings in the Senate, Tuesday
showed that spirit is rampant to dc
everything except that which the State
administration wants done. The session
opened at 10 O'Clock, and the Nash code
bill wasintroduced by Senator Longworth.
There was an attempt made to introduce
several bills when Senator Longworth an
nounced that he had resolution in course
of preparation to limit deliberations wholly
to the code and the Roger act. He said
that the Senate was not to be dictated to
by the Governor or any one else. but that
the suggestion of the Governor at least
should be given courteous attention.
mo greater calamity can happen to the
State of Ohio" he said, than the intro
duction of bills of every conceivable de-
scription."
In the House of Representatives the
conference plan adopted at the room of
Speaker McKinnon, was carried into effect
completely, the result being that instead OF

on the consideration Of legislation, single
committee of twenty-three composed Of
fifteen Republicans and eight Democrats,
shall take up the work. This committee
is headed by Speaker pro TEN Comings of
Lorain, with Representative Huffman of
Butler, Democrat, as Secretary. The code
was introduced, read twice and referred
to it.
The House also adopted resolution
paving to the widow of Representative
Bell of Licking. the sum of 5000. his salary
for the year 1908.
Longworth opened the battle in the
Senate, Wednesday, by moving that the
code bill be referred to the Committee of
the Whole. After heated discussion the
motion prevailed, the vote being tie, the
Lieutenant Governor voted in the affirma-
tive.

very brief session Wednesday, adjOurning

All this was considered significant, al
though at 3lr. Morgan's office it was stat

held in q private room in the Delmonico
building, where President Fowler Of the

road gave luncheon to the other presi-
dents. The conference took place dur
ing luncheon, and while-it was not large

most important held by the representa-
tives Of the coal roads since the strike
began. There were present, besides j,
W. Fowler. President Baer, President
Underwood Of the Erie Railroad and
President Truesdale of the Lackaw inna
Railroad.
The situation at the mining districts
was discussed for two hours, during
which time reports from the mines were
considered. The reports showed that men
were applying for work in increasing
numbers, but that a break IN the strike
