LAWS FOR THE ToILERs.
Assembly Committee Will Recon-
mend Bills to Benefit Working

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, Jan. 19.-The Assembly Commit
tee on Labor and Capital spent the even
ing considering two bills intended to BEN
eft working men and women and recon-
mended both for passage.
One bill provides that women shall not
be compelled to work more than fifty
eight hours a week and that seats shall
be provided for them where practicable
The other is aimed at interruptions en-
ployment agencies, of which, it was the
belief of the committee, many exist in
San Francisco. This bill, which fixes the
remuneration of the agent at 10 per cent
of the first months wages of the person
for whom employment is obtained pro-
vides that no charge shall be made for
registration or information" but only
for the actual SUPPLYING of place. The
committee believes it has in this bill
one that will stop all crooked practices of
employment agents.

Nelson Nominated
for the Stockton
Postmas S tersh
Special Dispatch to The Call.

~ ToCKTON. Jan. 19-News was re-
ceived here to-day that President
Roosevelt has sent the nomination
4 j of Thomas A. Nelson for Postmas-
ter of this city to the Senate.
The action of the President was
not unexpected. because The Call on last
Wednesday in it's Sacramento dispatches
predicted the selection of Nelson for the
position. The story was an interesting
one and related how the contest for the
job here had much to do with the cleo
ton of Senator Perkins. The appoint
ment of Congressman Woods Of San Joa-
quin County as Naval officer in San Fran
cisco and of ]. La Rose Phelps, editor Of
the Stockton Independent as his chief
deputy also entered into the affair.
Thomas A. Nelson made his first ap-
pearance in San Joaquin County as a
country schoolteacher and an ardent Re
publican fifteen years ago. He taught
several terms in different public schools
in the southern end of the county and
became known as one of the best politi-
cally informed men of this section of the
State. He later engaged in a general Jner-
while there that he received the Repub-
lican nomination for Assemblyman from
the San Joaquin district outside of the
city of Stockton. He was elected, and his
co-representative from San Joaquin
County was ex-Superior Judge E. !. Jones
OF Stockton.
At that time Perkins had been appoint
cd United States Senator by Governor
Markham TO fill the vacancy caused by
the death of Senator Stanford. Assem-
blymen Nelson and Jones became warm
personal admirers of Senator Perkins and
did much to secure his election by the
Legislature. After serving his term Mel
son sold out his Lathrop store and en-
gagged in a similar business in Stockton.
He had always been organization Re-
publican, and shortly after moving to
this city he was elected chairman of the
Republican County Committee. He work
ed hard to build up the organization and
succeeded TO a remarkable degree. He
served as chairman for two years. at the
end OF which time there was a vacancy
in the Stockton Postmastership. and on
recommendation of Senator Perkins Mel
son was appointed Postmaster He has
now served in that capacity about FIVE

Democratic Senators Emmons Of
Kern and Curtin OF TuoIumne in
standing in with the Republicans
against the Democrat from Siskiyou.
who made contest for the seat in the
Senate occupied by Senator Clifford
Coggins. Emmons and Curtin held that
If the contestant had no gEound of con-
test other than the allegation that bal
lots Improperly stamped had been count
ed for the Republican candidate. the re-
port of the committee should be against
the contestant.
There are many indications that the
Republicans of the Senate were Outgen
eraled by the Democratic forces now en-
camped I'm the lobby OF the Legislature.
Recognition of the principle that the
ballots should not be opened UP for legs-
lative inspection is just exactly what the
Democrats are relying on to defeat Ju-
Illus Kahn's contest in Congress against
Livernash.
Moreover, it is expected that the two
contests in the Assembly in which both
contestants are Republicans. will be set
tied on the principle which the Senate
made haste to recognize. Franklin of
the Twenty-eighth District is contesting
sgainst John NJ. Murphy. and Wanzer of
Santa Cruz claims the seat occupied by
A. d. Duffey. The Assembly will prob
ably take up these contested cases to-
morrow.
Word comes from Washington that
the Democrats are apprehensive that the
Republicans of the California Legisla-
ture will give what is termed a legisla-
tive construction of the Supreme Court
decision touching the "distinguishlna
mark" on a ballot. kahns supporters
maintain that Livernash will lose in the
Congressional contest if the Republicans
in the Legislature uphold the rule
against the counting of improperly
stamped ballots.
On the other hand it is asserted that
Livernash will win if the Legislature Of
California indorses the principle which
was recognized in the Senate in the con-
test against Coggins. Suspicion was
aroused when two Democratic Senator's
reported against a Democratic contest
ant. Herein. it is said, the Democratic
manipulators of Livernash's campaign
executed some clever work and adroitly
outgeneraled Republican leaders in the
Senate. The Republican majority in
each branch of the Legislature is so
overwhelming that no party advanta ge
can be gained in the decision of the con-
tests now pending. Kahn in Washington
and Livernash in Sacramento are deeply
| concerned fin the legislative decisions
| The result recorded on the face of the
| returns gave Livernash the certificate al
the Representative-elect in the Fourth
| Congressional District and he and his
| friends are particularly anxious that the
ballots shall not be disclosed for COM
mittee inspection.
