incidental and laboratory fees made
necessary by the unusual amount Of
experimental work requiring costly
materials. While all the other de-
partments have been maintained by
appropriations, the law department
has been compelled to be almost self
sustaining, except for occasional ap-
preparations for library and other
purposes. The dean of the college of
law is reported as being in favor of
the movement, and the students in
the department, naturally, are urging
the passage of the bill.
For Fewer Injunctions.
Two bills were introduced in the
assembly aimed somewhat at gov
eminent by injunction Mr.. Grassie
of Milwaukee and Mr.. Thompson, So
cial democrat, are the sponsors of the
measures, both of which contain
practically the same provisions, name
ly, that no injunction shall be issued
by a court commissioner in a proceed
ing in which municipality is a par
ty, nor shall any injunction be issued
except by a county or circuit judge
upon notice whenever a municipality
is a party.
A rather radical piece of legislation
is proposed in the interests of strik-
ers by Mr. Allridge relating to injury
to business and restriction of will.
That part of the statute which pro
vides nat it shall be unlawful for any
person or persons to wilfully or ma
liciously injure any business, or rep
is amended to read that such
an act of annoyance shall be unlawful
except in the case Of striking work
men. In effect it tends to legalize an
otherwise unlawful act for the simple
reason that it is being performed by
a member of a union.
Mr.. Domachowski is the father of a
measure which regulates the extent
to which cities may go in dedicating
alleys, streets, and public places to
the use of interests conducting public
service corporations
