The anti-pass bill assed the sonata
with but one dissen+ .ng vote, that ~
Senator Danforth of Clark county. b~G
Its passage was not hurried in tn
house for the reasCa that many meu-
bers wished to 60 home for a brief
recess and they were opposed to en-
acting the anti-pass bill with thD
emergency clause. AS a concessioa
to this element the bill was held -
until the return from the vacatioo.
when 1t Is hoped to muster strength
to put 1t through with the emergenev
clause. AS amended in the senate
only railway employees and their fan
tlies, including physicians and attor~
neys who receive an annual salary o(
at least $500, and ministers of religica
engaged exclusively in their sacral
calling and those engaged exclusively
In charitable work are exempted from
