ALBANY, June Ex-senator McCarren's g
political party management bill is dead.
The Assembly Republican leaders killed
ii at conference in Speaker Wadsworth's 3
room this afternoon. Tonight the As
scmbly Judiciary Committee formally in
dorsed the action of the conference by
voting six to five against reporting the
bill. There were other votes which could
be had against reporting the bill we're
they necessary. The upstate Republican
county leaders were responsible for the
defeat of the bill because it contained
provisions regarding Assembly district
representation in Senate and Congress
conventions which would injure their
local political interests. They had other
objections too, but as Q matter of fact
it was Senator Thomas +. Grady of Tam
many Hall who marshalled the opposition
to the bill. OF course Senator McCarren
was disappointed, as he had made valient
fight for the measure, but after the question
was decided he simply shrugged his shoul-
ders and said he could get along without
the bill anyway. I
! The expenses of the extra session will
aggregate $50 800. Senator Wallace Of the
Niagara-Orleans district will get his full
salary OF 81 500. The members Of the
Legislature only get their mileage. which
aggregated $1,000, while the legislative
employees will draw about 1872 900. or $9s7
a day for thirty-two days, the length of
the extra session.
The Assembly, with but four votes to
spare, by a vote of 20 to 81, passed Assem-
strike fraudulently enrolled names from
the registry list in New York city.
The Assembly judiciary committee re-
fused to report favorably Assemblyman
Francis's New York city official primary
ballot bill, because Gov. Hughes would
veto it, as he did last year.
In the Assembly by vote Of 81 to 80
the bill amending the public service COM
mission law, with the provision extending
the powers of the commission to telephone
and telegraph companies eliminated, was
recommitted. This action was taken be-
cause the Governor and his friends insisted
that they must have the bill Of Senator
Page, which gives the extension Of power.
The Assembly Republican leaders were
willing to give the commissions a perfected
law as they requested 30 as to see If the
commissions could render any better SER
vice than they have been doing, but when
the Governor insisted on having the Page
bill the leaders simply showed their in
dependence by recommitting the bill, and
1t will die In committee, together with
the Page bill. Tomorrow Assemblyman
Wainwright will move to suspend the rules
30 as to have the Page bill brought before
the lower house. but the vote on the mo-
ton to recommit shows that there Is no
chance Of the bill passing the lower house.
When Senator Travis's direct nominations
hill raraivoA in fha Aaaarnhlv IL
treated as a ajoke and was referred to the
Judiciary Committee, where 1t was ignored.
Somewhat to the surprise of all, the Senate
passed Assemblyrnan Parker's bill creating
nection with the Department Of Labor for
the purpose Of enforcing the anti-child
labor laws in cities Of the first class. The
bill takes the enforcement of the laws out
Of the Department Of Health and gives the
State Labor Commissioner absolute power
in this respect
Senators Grady and SAKE attacked the
bill. Senator SAKE read from the report Of
the Consumers League, which is behind
the BILL a oommendation OF the work Of the
bureau Of health Of New York city In en-
forcing the laws. The bill was passed by a
vote of 20 to 1s-Senators Acroyd and Rams
perger (Dems.) voting for the bill with the
Republicans, while Senator'S SAKE, Cordts
and Tully (Reps) voted with the Demo-
Gratis against it.
