CALEND AR FOR
ALL COMMITTEES
Plan 70 Have Meetings Scheduled
-Msmbars of House Troubled
over Thanksgiving.

Montpelier. Nov. Nh. Cook Of Lyndon
made a ssnpiblc move yesterday morning
IN asl,ing that the House appoint a com
mites to formulate a plan for a bulletin
o. onlcntnr covering the holding of COM
mittee meetings. There Is now no
notification OF such meetings except such
ns il made BY committee cnairincn In
their respective houses aud the notices
posted ON the bulletin board in the lower
corridor. The scarcity of committee rooms
creates moro or less confusion and some
times a member serving on two COM
mittcos finds mcetins of both called for
the same time to consider matters in
which he IL interested.
There is also a lack of information on
the part of members Of what business
IS to come up at any particular session.
If thorc were n brief calendar printed
each day giving in summarized form the
expected and scheduled proceedings of
the day it would aid greatly in the
work.
Lieutennnt-G Governor Howe advocated
such publlca ton in his paper. the Ben
nington Banner, some time before cleo
ton. but the committee on rules made no
provision for II, and It has taken some
its desirablity.
The speaker has appointed commit
Tee to consider the matter and report
will be presented carly next week.
There was but a brief session of the
House yesterday morning ana not much
more than a quorum present. many of
the members having gone home the night
before.
The question Of THANKSGIVING adjourn
ment is now troubling the members
There is a general feeling in favor of ad-
journing next Friday or Saturday for
an entire week, but some members are
disposed to insist that the Adjournment
shall be without pay or mileage, while
others want full pay and others think
they should at least have mileage one
way.
Unless an agreement is reached to ad-
1ourn without pay for THANKSGIVING week
those members who favor that idea vii
insist that the Legislature remain In ses-
sion that week. There mas been so much
criticism in recent years Of the number
of days for which members drrw pay
when they did not work. and the question
Of the amount and method of componsa
ton has been put up in such proSsln.
form that many members are sensitive
fearful of the criticism they will meet a

Yet it is claimed by others that "A lars

OPPOSE THE BILL
Willing to Have 58-Hour a Week

They Say.

Montpelier. Nov 14--The manufac.
the hours of women AMI children In
factories was told this afternoon at a
hearing before the Joint committee on
immigration and labor. A delegation
Of Burlington manufacturers incluI-
ing Ex-Governor L. A. Woodbury.. Jo-

of the Chace mills, and r. A. Cooke of
Burlington. representing the queen
City cotton mills. George r. whitney.
representing the American Wooden
companys mills, Winooski, and Charles
s. Lord OF the Burlington FIGURING
company presented the consequences
of such legislation to manufacturing
business In Vermont as they see them
The gist of tho arguments presented
by the employers was that while they
were ready and willing to come down
to 5S-hour week basis for the
women ana boys in their employ. they
could not undergo such a radical cut
ting down of hours as change to -
hours a week would imply. They ar
gued that Vermont manufactures al
ready labor under a tremen lous handi-
and therefore could not stand added
strain without re lucing wages. They
said that the change was too great n
jump to be effected at one time that
other states had come down by de-
grees. so that ii took 90 years in Mas.
sachusetts to bring about this change
which Vermont was thinking of nc
complishing in minute They as
serted that it would cut their invest
mont by 10 per cent. and woul1 re
tard the Industrial development %
Vermont.
For the other side Judge Mower ques.
toned the speakers to bring out the fac,
| that human considerations tended to make
the change essential, that more favor.
| able Labor conditions in Vermont would
tend to bring more and better laborers
| into the State and benefit the employers
in that way, and that by the speeding
up Of machinery, made possible by les:
fatigued help. the loss to them could be
greatly reduced. This last the employers
denied. claiming that their machine.
were already being run at the maximum
of speed. Among Others speaking in favor
of the bill were the Rev. {. c. Wilson o.
Burlington and March c. Wilson of Ran
doph.
After The hearing on the Mower bill
a number of the merchants appeared
against the IIOwIey bill which extends
the 5i-hour rule to mercantile establish
ments.
