Ii also means that one-hulf of the boa;s
and boatmen viii be without employment
and there Is n loss and n heavy one that
we had not mentioned in the fuotines of
the several items.
Now tell me. pray-are we doing Justice
to think even of passing; the Mayo bill"
do not think il just. neither do ! he-
lteve the Constitution would uphold the
prohibiting of honest and innocent men
from earning their daily bread and raj
ment.
do not believe that this Lc.is-
iaturc is going to accept any bill
from committee that are 50 un-
fair as to report u bill that is before
them II month without IA hearing. and
l am willing to submit the question t"
the members OF tins House. and | am
going TO ask that when the vote is
taken it be taken by the yeas and rays.
Mir. PATTI ANGALI. of Watervlic:
Mr.. Speaker. the question before the
House as | understand it is to recon
slider thf vote whereby Sehatc Docu-
mont. No. 134 was indefinitely post
poned.
The SPEAKER: That is the cues
tio,i.
Mr.. PATTANGAI.L: Now, after that
| bill had been Indefinitely postponed
efforts We're made. as I suggested. in
the interest of certain men who were
very much interested in this industry
| on both sides that the whole matter
might lay upon the table until to-
morrow for consideration. AS Sem
l,nI h.a in
| definitely postponed. in order to bring
| that bill in With the others so that
! tn" parties in interest could sit down
| this afternoon and get ut some mode
| OF considering tho matter, the gentle
man from Maehiasport, Mr.. Small
moved that we reconsider the vote,
not to pass the bill. but simply to
bring this bill back to a position
where it could be tabled.
| Now. in order that the House may
vote UNDERSTANDINGS upon this mat
ter and this bill is 50 short that if
| the House will bear with me for It
moment | would like To read it. II
simply amends Section 30 of Chapter
four of the Revised Statutes by adding
| this sentence to it The applicant for
| license to build or extend fish wicr first
| giving bond to the town without sureties.
| in the sum of $l00, conditioned that upon
the termination of such license he shall
remove all stakes and brush from the To-
| cation described In his license" That is
| all there is to this bill. ] don't know
| anything about the Mayo bill or about
| the purpose Of the committee. and don't
know whether that bill is useful or use
| less, and for the present purpose l don't
i care; but would like to have this House
| when they come to vote upon matter
| understand something about il. I know
| we all want to. Most of us are not near
| ~ SO familiar with the technical side OF
| this matter as a few members of the
House are. There is nothing in the mo-
ton which has been made which will
shorten the sardine pack or take away
the work OF anybody who has worked.
| take away the labor from anybody who
has worked. The effect of the motion as
made is simply to bring that bill back 40
that it, with the other four or five or Il
dozen-I don't know how many there are
bills relating to this same subject mat
ter may be assembled. 1t may be found
| then that the better way will be to in
definitely postpone the whole thing, 1t
| may be that there may be some merit in
some one or more OF these measures, but
| | would like TO mention this and urge
that perhaps the gentleman from East
port misunderstood the situation. The
| present motion involves the considera
tion of the merits of neither bin and can
| effect in no way any business. ] feel
pretty deeply in this matter because the
best clients that l bavc in tho world are
the sardne packers, and We have
been enleavoring for the past few
DAYS to get together and see
if we could not arrive at something
that would do some good. and mt the
instance of some of the larger manu-
facturers, including member of TINS
