TRAIN CREW
BILL IS OFFERED
WORKING RAILROAD MEN INTER.
EsTED IN MEASURE PENDING
BEFORE ASSEMBLY.
ALL TRAINS MUST CARRY SIX
Freiehts Made Up of rs Cars on Big
Lines Must Be Fully Equipped
Strike Annuls Penalties
of the Act.

Jefferson City.-What is probably
the most important bill pending be-
fore the general assembly, from the
standpoint Of the working railroad
men, is what is known as the full
crew bill" This has been offered in
the senate by Senators Fields and
Lane and in the house by Mr.. White
of Linn county.
The senate committee on railroads
will hear from the friends and ene-
mics of the bill next Thursday night.
The house railroad committee will
met to consider the bill on Wednes-
day night.
1t is expected that both the railroad
employees and the railroad owners
will be amply represented and it is
certain that there will be quite a con-
test when the bill comes up for ac-
ton.
The bill introduced by Mr.. White,
to which the Lane and Fields bill are
similar, is as follows:
Section 1. No railroad company or
officer of court owning or operating
any line or lines of railroad in this
state and engaged in the ~transporta-
ton of freight over it's line or lines
shall equip any of its said freight
trains with a crew consisting of less
than an engineer, a fireman, a con-
ductor and three brakemen, regard
less of any modern equipment of auto
matte couplers and air brakes, except
as hereinafter provided.
Sec. 2. This act shall not apply to
any railroad company or officer of
court whose line or lines are less than
80 miles in length, o to any rail
road in this state, regardless of the
length of said lines, where said freight
trains, so operated, shall consist of
less than rs cars, it being the pur-
pose of this act to require all rail
roads in this state whose line or lines
are owe so miles in length, engaged
in hauling a freight train consisting of
20 cars or more, to equip the same
with a crew consisting of not less
than an engineer, a fireman, a con-
ductor and three brakemen, but moth
ing in this act shall be construed so
as to prevent any railroad company or
officer of court from adding to or in
creaSing it's crew beyond the number
set out in this act.
Sec. 8. Any railroad company or
officer of court violating any of the
provisions of this act shall be fined
for each offense not less than $500 nor
more than $500, and each freight
train, so Illegally run, shall constitute
a separate offense: Provided, the pen
alties of this act shall not apply dur
ing strikes of men in the train service
of lines involved.

gress has the speaker been compelled

parliamentary tangles there were
many, but the veteran presiding officer
emerged from them all with his de-
cisions undisputed.
The battle waged for more than six
hours at the end of which the bill was
sent to conference. So much time was
consumed in consideration of the con-
ference report on that S that a
night session was made imperative in
order that further discussion of the
sundry civil appropriation bill which
had dragged along for several days
might be had.
The agricultural appropriation bill
