Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1909-04-03

be Indefinitely postponed (Applause).
I hope every member of this House who
is a friend Of labor will vote to support
the motion.
Mr. PATTANGALL of Waterville: Mr..
Speaker. there can be no question but
what that motion is in order as far as
parliamentary rules are concerned. but
I think there is question whether 1t
is in order in fairness to the LeSlsla-
ture We nave gone all over this ques-
ton three or four times and the House
is rather thinly attended this morning
The motion made to reconsider by the
gentleman from Augusta was made IN
absolute good faith and the friends
Of the bill did not object to it in order
that he might present his amendment.
If this opportunity is to be taken to de-
feat the bill do not think it is FAIR
deal to it's supporters who have voted
for it and won out both in the Senate
and in the House. (Applause).
Mr.. LORD: Mr.. Speaker, 1 will In
form the gentleman from Watervllle
that that motion was going to be made
ANYWAY if the gentleman from Augusta
had not moved to reconsider. With that
amendment the bill is worse than it
would be if it took its regular course be-
cause according to the referendum 1t
would not take effect for three months
anyway.
The SPEAKER: The question is on
the adoption Of the amendment which
has precedence of the motion to IN
definitely postpone
A division was had on the amend
nent and 60 voted in the affirmative and
5 in the negative.
So the amendment was adopted.
Mr. Lord of Vassalboro, moved that
the bill be indefinitely postponed, and
called for the yeas and nays.
The yeas and nays were ordered
The SPEAKER: The question is on
the motion to Indefinitely postpone this
bill. Those in favor of the idefnlre
postponement when their names are
called will answer yes those opposed
will answer no. The clerk will call the
roll.
