duced by Senator Knox. Of Pennsylvania.
The motion TO change the reference OF
the La Toilette bill to the Judiciary Com
mittee. of which Senator Knox is a men,
Der, failed, only two Senators on the
committee voting for it-BrandaEee. OF
Connecticut, and Flint, OF California.
The Ia Toilette bill is backed by the
labor contingent, headed by H r. Fuller.
Legislative representative of the railroad
brotherhoods."
A subcommittee of the Committee on
judiciary agreed yesterday 10 report the
Knox bill favorably. II the Lay Toilette
bill had been referred to the Judiciary
Committee, the plan was to report the
Knox bill as a substitute for il. and
knowing this, Senator La Follette's
friends successfully resisted the efforts
70 change the reference Now they ex-
pect that a favorable report viii be made
on the bill so that two employers liabil-
ity bills will shortly be before the Sen
ate. both favorably reported from COM
mittees. The contest will be fought out
