on amendment 20 bill which amounts
virtually to the repassage Of the $40
exemption trustee process bill; it killed
the apprentice bill OF Mr.. Bloomer Of
West Rutland which was so strenuously
opposed by the labor organizations It
ordered to third reading the bill al.

considerable moro business. The Senate
ordered TO tlsrd reading the Automo.
bile tax bill. The bill to raise the sal
aries OF the members Of the general as

yesterday afternoon.
The Trustee Process Bill.
An attempt was made yesterday after
noon In the House to pass another bill
10 exempt wages to the extent Of $40
from trustee process by proposing an
amendment TO Senate ll6. II viii be
remembered that the House passed
trustee process bill long time ago, but
the Senate killed it.
Senate ll6 is simply bill to prevent
unlawful attachment Of wages by trus-
tee process when the amount of the bill
Is less than $40. IL was explained how
wages of working men were many times
held up BY lawyers simply to delay the
wage-earner from getting his wages IL
provides TINT when such action is taken
willfullv, the person doing the damage
shall forfeit $50. Mr. Barber of Brat
tleboro explained that he believed his
amendment should be passed He was
not in favor Of the passage of the bill,
because il really did not mean anything,
for 4 lewyer could bring a suit without
trustee process for the collection Of a
bill OF less than $40, get Judgment and
work the suit Of suit on top OF the
original bill to make 1t exceed $40 and
then collect by trustee process for the
whole.
Mr. Leary of Burlington didn't believe
in staying around to relieve the Senate
Of embarrassment. He said the House
had acted on the trustee process bill
once and he thought the bill was i'm
properly taken up for discussion again
II the rules were worth anything. Mr..
Davis thought the adoption OF the
amendment would be a slap at the
Senate. Mr. Hitchcock suggested that
most men changed their minds sometimes
and perhaps the Senate desired to do 80.
Then the amendment was killed. also
the bill It was suggested that the Sen
ate would send In a compromise trustee
process bill that the House could act
on later.
The Bcb-cat Bounty Bill.
The Joint committee on game and Ash. |
cries reported I'll ass, an act to provide |
bounty on bobcats and hawks, favor
ably with an amendment cutting out /
the 50-cent bounty on hawks and eav. |
ing The bounty Of bobcats at 50. Mr..
Howe of Bennington said the bob.cat 4
did do a lot of damage to partridges, 1
rabbits and especially young deer, and |
he thought there was merit In the bill |
In reply to somebody who suggested |
that the state was paying out too much /
for the protection Of its fish and game,
said on the contrary there was not
state in the union that paid out so little
for protection Of game An effort was
made to dismiss the bill. but it failed |
and the bill was ordered to a third |
reading by rather emphatic vote.
The SEEMING Bill Discussed.
The House took up 40, which allows
SEEMING In Lake Champlain, Lake Mem.

the southern part of Alburgh from
March To to May i. Mr.. Sowies of AL

fishermen could not get work, for tho Ca
nadians would not hire them for fear
Of being obliged by their government
to give up their fishing grounds
Mr.. Fish of Yergennes made 3 great
speech against tfae passage OF the bill.
IS he said he understood treaty touch
ing up the fishing question on the border
would become operative July /. He did
not thing it would be right to undo the
long argument Of Vermonters that sein.
ing in the waters at certain season was
wrong, and upon which argument Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Secretary Root had
interested themselves. If the legislature
passed this bill. it would abrogate their
action Of long years and their patience
in waiting for square deal.
Mr.. Fletcher Of Cavendish thought the
Vermonters had been wronged and had
been patient, He thought the passage
ri the bill could do no harm. and, a.
