Bills and the Governors message were referred
to committees in the Senate to-day. Most of them
go TO judiciary a meeting of that committee was
called for next Tuesday for hearing if desired
on the bill creating bureau of mercantile inspec-
tion in the State Labor Department The commit
tee will sit all the rest of the week for hearings
other bills. Senator Ranes gave notice this
morning that he expected quorum present next
week, all members of the committees working to be
on hand the entire week; and the following week
regular sessions would be held each day In the
Assembly legislative days only will be held until
next week.
Speaker Wadsworth said to-day that he expected
the Assembly to pass the anti-gambling bills as
soon as the Governor recommended them. The
labor law, the official primary ballot. and probably
the routine amendments to the public service COM
missions law he thought also would be passed
That would leave untouched the direct nomina
tions bill and the important amendments to the
public service commissions law. Assembly leaders
saw there is not the slightest disposition to abandon
the attitude already taken those questions.
