RALEIGH, N. c., January 1.-THE
third day of the session found both the
Senate and House Of Delegates Of tho
General Assembly moving along in some
thing like a routine grind of legislation.
A large number Of bills were introduced
in both houses, some OF them of consid-
cradle Importance; tho calendars were
cleared by bills passed, and standing COM
mittees for both House and Senate were
completed, so it may be said that in three
days the machinery OF the Legislature II
fairly, we'll organized.
Tho bills of most general interest In
troduced were by Speaker Justice in the
House. One relating to public service
corporations prescribes that adequate SER
vice shall be maintained. forbids discrim-
nation against persons or shipping points
similarly situated, the penalty being $500
to those suffering by discrimination and
Sooo to the State: also fine and imprieon-
ment for officers permitting Discrimination.
Further still, 1t makes II unlawful for
railroad employees to work moro than
eight hours In twenty-folr, except where
trains arc belated with tho crew. Viola.
ton IS made a misdcmeanor for officers
permitting It.
The Two-Cent Rate.
Another bill by Justice prescribes n
,"o-ceht rate on the Southern, SeaboHrd
Air Line and Atlantic Coast Line. with
smaller roads on a two and a half cent
basis.
Still another bill by Justice confers on
the Corporation Commission plenary
power to control and regulate public SER
vice corporations in the State.
~ Dill by Graham In the Senate Is de-
signed to reduce passenger fare to Q l.:
cents first and . cents second-class
effective April 1, provided the Corpora
ton Commission finds such would be fair
to the railroads. He also presented a
bill prohibiting free passages except to
families of employees, and some specified
exceptions, including minister's, objects
of charity and others. All these bills
are in The hands of committees.
