Special to The Daily Missoulian.
Helena, Jan. 12.-The usual lock-
ing of horns between the members Of
the house who want to keep their
promises of jobs for women clerks
and those who make no proreises came
in the house this afternoon. Tempo
rarily the job promiser lost out, but
ii was only for time, unless this beg
islature makes new record. The
committee on house employees made a
report recommending the election Of
10 more committee clerks, and then
the fun began. rhe engagement was
sharp while it lasted, and when the
smoke of battle had cleared the COM
mittee had hack It's report fer further
consideration an the young women
applicants who were on the list were
diSconsolate.
The first objection to the report
came from Pierson, of Carbon, who
moved to lay the report on the table.
In support of his motion he said ,te
adoption meant the presence in the
house for SO days OF LOT OF useless
people who would be on the payroll.
KING also opposed the report, saying
the house had been in session for
eight days at an expense of 5000 and
all 1t had done had been to elect 20
employees.
Crutchfield amended the pierson
motion by moving that ,:e report be
referred back to the committees, and
the amendment was adopted. Then
Hayes tried to resurrect it again, by
a motion 70 reconsider, but
the motion was declared out OF order.
Twenty-Five bills We're introduced
in the house today ana raft Of no.
tices given.
The senate held a rarely routine seq
sion. being in session an hour, the
only business transacted being the
Introduction of bills and the giving OF
notices.
