earners. The present law, it is claim
ed, is a species of class legislation
affecting certain classes OF workers,
while others who, in some instances
make much more are not touched. An
example of the classes that can be
garnished are conductors OF railway
trains, while the engineers, who make
very much moIe, but who are sup
posed to receive their pay daily, are
not subject to the operations OF the
present law.
The law which the grocers seek to
have passed is graduated as follows
On wages Of $40 per month Is per
cent to be subject to garnishment; $50
per month 20 per ceat.; $50 per month
25 per cent, $75 per month 40 pc.
centAt the present time the entire
wase is subject TO garnisment of all
persons not classed as day labufer.
The grocers claim that the law Lnat
they Sex TO have enacted is mucil
more tair and gives the wage-earnt.

Fulton, will come up for discussion

mat it will become law.

be hot bone of contention during

Gates OF the bill to assist him, while
the other side of Sthe question is
equally well represented In the past
wears the opponents OF the bill have
been able to encompass its defeat
