DIES MONIES, Feb. 20.-(Special. 1.-THE
lower house Of the Iowa legislature this
morning passed the most stringent COM
pulsory education law placed on any stat
utebook, and a law that has ben carefully
thought out by the educators Of the state.
This is the bill introduced by Durham
which was virtually prepared by the com
| mittee on schools and textbooks, with the
assistance Of the state educational Depart
ment and the State Teachers asssocia-
ton. The bill provides that all children
between the ages of I and IA must attend
some school at least twelve weeks each
year, and this may be either a public, pri-
vate or parochial school. There 10 pro-
vision for truancy schools and truant ON
GERS to enforce the law and provision for
registration Of the school attendance and
securing certificates Of attendance without
expense and for excuse where such seem
necessary. The bill was slightly amended
go as to still further guard against inter-
ference with private and parochial schools
and to render It impossible under any cir
cumstances to make trouble for them. In
this form It passed. the vote being 81 to
Q. with Z absent. Those voting against
the measure were: Messrs. Colclo, Cruik-
shank, Frudden, Hilsinger, Koonz, LARA
bee, Marshall and LAngan Of Crawford.

of the appropriations not being in proper
form.
Asatnat Goverument by Injunction.
The senate went on record this morning
as against the idea OF government by In
junction. The senate had had before 1t a
resolution by Crossley requesting the
United States senator's from Iowa to vote
for the Hoar bill to change the law In re-
gard to Imprisonment OF strikers who vio-
late injunctions. The resolution had been
referred to the committee on federal rela-
tions and was held up. A resolution was
passed demanding a report today. Senator
Crawford reported for the committee in
| favor of indefinite postponement. There
was a debate on the committee report and
| Senator'S Hubbard, Healey and Crossley
| strongly demanded that the resolution
pass, They commended that 1t was in no
| sense discourteous to the senators TO make
this request, that the matter was one OF
broad general principles, that there rs a
general demand for a change in the law
SO as to permit combinations Of labor as
we'll as combinations OF capital and that
it would be q step in the direction OF re-
moving a stigma from the American tu-
dietary placed there by the federal judges
in these infamous injunction proceedings.
The committee report was rejected by a
vote of 20 to 26, and the resolution adopted.
as follows:
