SENATE FAILS TO
VOTE ON W0RKMEN'S
COMPENSATION BILL

Washington, d, c., May 3.-The
Senate, after three remarkable
speeches, failed again today to reach
vote on the Workmen's Compensa-
tion bill, and when, at $40 o'clock,
1t recessed until 1880 o'clock to-
morrow morning, there was a gen.
eral impression that the final vote
would not be reached until Monday.
Senator Reid of Missouri charac-
terized the bill as fraught with in
iquity, Senator Ashurst of Arizona,
In his first Senate speech, freely
criticized the Federal courts. Sena-
tor jeff Davis condemned the bill in
unmeasured tones, declaring he
would resign rather than vote for It.

and negroes. Men worth thousands
of dollars are often seen lifting
sacks to their shoulders, with a me-
gro or convict aiding them in the
operation.

this afternoon and every able bodied
man and boy was called out for duty

After discussing the situation and

the committee recommended that

A message was received from
Mayor Parsons In which he stated
that the committee was meeting
with encouragement In Washington.
The message reads:

encouragement In our efforts to hold
the amendment to the bill. We have
not discovered any opposition to 1t.
Mrs. Parsons and myself will return
to Cairo Sunday night. Mr.. Miller

The committee. according to the
members, who returned yesterday
morning, had no easy time In Wash
ington, despite the quick work in
getting an amendment to the Rivers
and Harbors Bill The Senate Com
merce Committee had decided not to
allow outside persons at its meet
lngs. This staggered the members
and they obtained the services of
Senator Shelby Cullom, who took
the burden upon himself and entered
the committee room alone. After
arguing for two hours, Senator Gull
lom came out aud announced that
the amendment would be attached
to the bill.
After the conference at Memphis
II is probable that the work of re-
building the breaks In the Drainage
District levees will be started at
once. The water will go down here
before 1t will south, and, as the
breaks In the Drainage District are
the farthest north OF any. 1t is
thought to be the most feasible plan
to repair them first.
