The first bill killed on third read
ing by the house, was slaughtered to-
day. This was S. b. 2O1, Jewell,
relating to trusts and conspiracies.
The measure had hard shedding in the
committee of the whole because it was
alleged the bill prevented the organ
ization of labor unions, and also pre-
vented horticultural and agricultural
societies from raising the standard Of
products and getting better prices.
Cases in the United States supreme
court were cited showing that such a
bill would apply to unions and farm
ers. Many votes were explained
G2 to 1G, not voting.
The committee on labor reported
II. B. No. 1884, the Cults compensation
bill, for indefinite postponement be-

; recommend an admission of the par
liamentary right of the senate to at
tempt to regulate the rules of the
house pertaining to committee reports,
and that it believed the senate's po-
sition was unwarranted. but that the
report was made with the single pur-
pose Of removing what we sincerely
trust will be the last objection of the
honorable senate to a conference con-
; sideratiOn of workmens compensa-
ton. to the end that some adequate
relief may be afforded the 65, 900
