LABOR LEGISLATION.

LABOR LEGISLATION.
Raleigh Times,
ORGANIZED labor leaders are
wondering where they are atnow
that the end of the congress kes'
sion is BEGINNING to approach.
They are getting restless in the
situation in which they find pro-
posed legislation for the benefit
OF labor. At the beg inning OF the
session they had grat hopes of
accomplishing much and getting
a number Of tileirlmportant bills
put through. Now that hope is
waning. They are getting susii-
ciOns that their hills are being
whipsawed between the two hous-
ca, and that when the session is
over they will find comparative.
ly little has been done to pass
legislation which labor for years
l.as been insisting on. A glance
at the Legislative situation in
the two houses shows that in
spite 0f Che general feeling that
much wonl'l be done in the way
of labor legislati N when con.
gress met last December there
]has not been a great deal ac
complished. That ls, there is not
much in the way of laws wanted
10y labor that il actually within
sight oil the statute books. This,
say the lhhor leaders, is shat
counts. They say it is all we'll
and good to get measures out OF
committeeman, but fiat the end
oi the lopg session OF congress
they are not passed the chances
are they will not pass in t h e
short session, and then In the
next congress the whole thing
will have to be done over again.
The anti.injunction bill has pass.
ed the house, hut there il no
sign it will ever pass the senate
this session: The convict labor
bill ia in tn. same situation. The
workman s,mmpensation bill has
passed the senate, but there IS
little hope OF it passing the house
this session. The department "f
labor bill ia being urged IN the
house and 0rganlzad labor is
strong for it, but there seems to
he no hope it will get through
both houses this SESSION. The
bill putting fraternal and trades
union publications on the same
basis as commercial publications.
has passed the .hnuse. but h as
stiff opposition in the senate.
Passage OF the government en-
ployes' compensation bill is nn'
likely. Clayton's bill for travel
by jury in cases Of indirect con.
tempt, and the industrial educa-
tional bill seems to stand no
chance OF passing this session.
J Legislation Tor the relief OF sea-
men may be brought about, and
there will be strong pressure
to crowd it through in view OF
the Titanic disaster.
The prospects appear good to-
the passage of the eight-hour
: bill. If this is accomplished 1t will
S be a lorg step forward for organ

seems likely to be th" one great
achievement OF the season in be-

which are through, marks a STEP

on Tuesday, but the catastrophe came
to prevent it,
Mr. lsmay said II WAS arranged b.
tween him and captain Smith of the
Titanic not to arrive at New York

There would have been no advantage
in arriving earlier" h. added.
Was there any attempt to lower

Especial Dispatch IN the Morning Journal.
Santa Pc n. NJ, April 19.-Ther,
were only mild thrills in the leglsla.
tive session today. The passage by
the senate Of the Pankey brand bill
providing for the registration OF
brands, with minor amendments, and
the passage by the house of a bill APP
propriating s150,000 to build an ad-
dition to the state capItoi ana another
bill for paving the streets around the
capitol building constituted the sum
| total OF actual Legislation accom- plish-
ed. There were other features of the
session, however, which were of con-
siderable interest.
In the house, the bin which has
been in course of preparation for the
last few days and which is designed
| to enable the governor to act prompt
| ly to protect citizens of New Mexico
| in case of serious trouble on the
border, was presented by Mr.. Burg,
of Bernalilo county. II is entitled AN
| act to provide funds to enable the
governor to exercise his power as
cornmanderin-c chief of the military
forces of the state" and carries an
appropriation of S14,0 to be imme-
diately available. 1t provides that
81 000 of this amount shall be use1
for pay, subsistence. transportation
and incidental expenses Of the Nation
al Guard, and that the remainder
shall be used for such purposes and
in such manner AS the governor MAJ
deem proper. A strict accounting of
all the money expended is require
by the bill. 1t was referred to the com
mittee on ways and means and win
doubtless be reported at an early
day.
House Bill Ill, introduced Nv Mr..
Toomhs. Of Union. today brought dp
an echo Of the late bribery invcstga-
ton, and also of the squabhle y"st.r-
day over the appropriation II 5000
for the current expenses" az the
house.
In the debate Wednesday over
House Joint Resolution 16, II wa
stated by Major Llcwellyn that pa Z
OF the money sought to be appropria'-
ed by the resolution. was intended to !
defray the expenses of the investigaT- I
ing committee. According To the hill !
OF Mr.. Toombs. which carries an APP
preparation to pay those expenses the /
itemized list amounts 10 S1.335.65. oi !
more than enough To eat /
up the whole amount sought to be
appropriated by the resolution which /
the house adopted yesterday ind /
which was rejected by the senate.
The appropriation contained in Mr. 4
roombs' hill is itemized as follows:

six on forward deck and seven in
davits. After getting all survivors
aboard and while searching, | got
II clergyman TO offer short prayer
of thankfulness for those saved and
also short burial service for those
lost in the saloon.
Before deciding definitely where to
make for l conferred with Mr.. Ismay
and, though he told me to do what
] thought best, ] informed him, taking
everything into consideration, / con
sidered New York best. ! knew we
should require clean blankets, pro-
visions and clean linen, even if we
went to the Azores, as most OF the
passengers saved were women and
children and they were hysterical. not
knowing what medical attention they
might require, thought it best to go
to New York. | also thought 1t
would be better for Mr.. Ismay to go
to New York or England as soon as
possible and knowing should be out
of wireless communication very soon
if | proceeded to Azores. so | choose
New York.
Again, the passengers were hys-
terical about ice. and | pointed out
to Ismay the possibility of seeing tee
If | went to Halifax Then | knew
from the gravity of the disaster that
it would be best to keep in touch with
land stations as best | could.
We have experienced very great
in transmitting news. also
names of survivors. our wireless Is
very poor and again we have had so
many Interruptions from other ships
and also messages from shore tprln-
cipally press, which we ignored). |
gave instructions to send first all Off
cial messages, then names OF pas
sengers, then survivors private mes
sages. We had haze early Tuesday
for several hours again,
more or less all Wednesday: strong
south, southwesterly winds and clear
weather Thursday with moderately
rough sea.
II am pleased to say that all sur
tiVors have been very plucky. The
of women, first, second and

all. have been wonder
'ully well. Tuesday our doctor re-
ported all survivors physically well

plendidly, given up their cabins, vol

I'VE all turned out of our cabins

lsed for sleeping accommodations.

Santa Fe, n. NJ, April H.
. Senator Gregory Page of Nc I
Kinley county, today introduced
In the senate very remarkable
. bill. 1t provides in effect for the Z
. creation of a separate judicial
. district so far az the office of Z
district attorney Is concerned To Z
. be formed solely of Mckinley Z
county, and for the appointment Z
by the governor OF district .
attorney to fill the office until .
the next general election. after .
which Mckinley county is to .
elect its own district attorney to .
serve only in that county. .
The effect of this bill would be .
to deprive District Attorney .
Manuel t. Vigil, of Bernalillo .
county, Of any jurisdiction in Me- .
kinleN county, and to allow that .
county to name whoever il .
pleased as prosecuting officer. .
Carried to its logical conclusion .
1t would be seen that every coun- .
ty in the state could have dif- .
ferent district attorney. .
An attempt was made to sus- .
pend the rules in the senate and .
. railroad the bill through. but .
determined opposition on the .
part of Senators Barth and .

drawn and the bill referred to .
