than the t3.6OO appropriation agreed upon
BY the committee. Miss Cora SchIessin-
ser, clerk of the bureau. in her argument
before the committee for a larger appro-
priation not only dazzled the members.
but so we'll did she do the work that rep
resentatives OF union labor and Jerry
Howard declined to talk when she had
finished. for she had told 1t all. Miss
Schlessinger went over in detail just
what work had been done by former La
Dor Commissioner Ryder and under what
a handicap and she told of the work
mapped out for the future. She spoke
Immediately following Treasurer Brian,
who wanted an increase appropriation
in order to hire someone to clip the
coupons off bonds. Mr.. Brian said tn
state now had $1,000 900 worth of bonds.
This was the cue for Miss schlessinger
and she showed the legislature could give
the bureau of labor it's $4,000 and never
miss the money. A motion was made to
vote the larger appropriation while Miss
Schlessinger was present, but Chairman
Clark refused to put the question at that
time. so the matter is now under advise
meRt.sswtth the odds even that Miss
Sehlessinger will win out.

Insurance Hearing Set.
Almost an open rupture has resulted be-
tween Senate Bartos and Senator Tibbets
because OF the delay in setting a meeting
OF the Insurance committee of the senate.
A host Of bills regarded Of vital Importance
TO the Insurance men Of Nebraska rave
been introduced and no meeting has yet
been held. Several times senate Bartos,
chairman of the committee, has fixed a
time for a meeting, but something has al
ways come up to prevent the session. He
announced tonight that a meeting would
be held at 2 O'Clock. but there was a meet
Ing of the committee on municipal affairs
at that time on which a number of the
members of the committee on insurance
membership. Senator Tibbets rose
to declare. that the insurance matters were
of such Importance that persons living out
in the state ought to have an opportunity
to attend. Senator Bartos thereupon an
nounced the committee would hold a ses-
sion Friday night without fail and this
was the agreement.
Not long ago Senator Bartos announced
a meeting of the committee and when II
was given out Senator Tibbets shouted,
That's getting stale"
AT the opening of the session Senator
Tibbets demanded the craftsmanship of the
insurance committee and Senator Bartos
demanded the head of the railroad COM
mittee. D To compromise, Senator Bartos
was given his choice and picked the in
surance committee. which Senator T1bbets
had set his heart upon obtaining.
1t il said that, a few ,ofsthe bills which
Senator Bartos has introduced bearing on
insurance were introduced at the request
OF the Insurance department OF the state
and have the backing Of Auditor Barton,
formerly a high officer in the Ancient Or
der CT United Workmen of the state.
