tee on rules to favor abolishing child
labor in the Legislature Many of the
messengers and pages are under lG and
IA years old. The Social Democrats
sought early to displace these with older
boys, but the Legislature killed the meas
ure, holding that it was not amenable to
State laws. The report favors conform

adopted Senator Merton has submitted
to the Assembly measure to protect
the rights of individuals who purchase
tickets to theaters or other places OF
amusement, providing for the punishment
of managers of such places by fines OF
$50 to 500 or Imprisonment of from
twenty-five days to six months for pre-
venting the attendance at performances
of any individual who has secured a
ticket. The press association resolved
to take action to kill bills in the Legis-
Iature that aim to give medical eXamin-
ers the power to revoke the licenses of
physicians who advertise and requiring
patent medicine companies to publish
their formulas on the bottles. The for
mer bill, it is asserted, would deprive pub
fishers of the State of 100000. Other
bills, limiting county printing, cost, etc.,
will be fought.
