REGARDLESS Of the naval blockade by all

BULL MOOSE READY
T0PUSH TEN BILLS
Progressive, Congressman Are
i Assigned to Charge Of
Special Measures.

AS the result of conferences between
the committee or legislation of the ma
tional organization of the Progressive
party and the legislative committee OF
the Bull Moose organization in the
House, IL has ben decided to press for
the earliest passage possible ten impor-
tant bills.
Not only are these bills to be urged
for passage. but the team work has
been arranged so that the efforts of
the Progressives in the House will not
conflict A member Of the Progressive
organisation in the House has been as
signed to the preparation and introduc-
ton Of each of the ten bills.
Assignments to Bills.
The assignments are as follows:
Tariff commission bill, Congressman
Murdock.
Conservation. general plan for the de-
velopment of streams, Congressman
Temple.
Child labor measure applying to goods
used in interstate commerce, Congress
man Copley.
Eight hour bill for women and girls In
the District Of Columbia. Congressman
Nolan.
Workmen's compensation for federal
employees. including accident and occu-
pational diseases, Congressman Rupley.
Interstate trade commission for the
control Of industrial corporations, Con-
gresham Lafferty.
Commission on agricultural co-opera-
ton, credit and insurance. Congressman
Hulings.
Presidential preference primary, Con-
gressman Hinebaugh.
Amendment to the Constitution
making the method of amending the
Constitution easier. - Congressman
Chandler.
Minimum wage for women.-Con-
gresham Falconer.
Other Measures Delayed.
A large number Of other measures
in connection with the Bull Moose
platform are favored. But. after con-
sideration, these are deemed the most
important at this time. and they will
be pushed to the front. Others are to
be given attention in the near future.
An important phase of the situation
Is that the bills are not to be put in
In any half-baked fashion. They will
be carefully considered not alone by
their authors but by experts before
they are submitted.
The Presidential preference primary
bill has already been. introduced by
Mr.. Htnebaugh, of Illinois. The tarifl
commission bill is to be put in at this
time because the Progressive party
forces desire to emphasize their posi-
tariff through strong and perma-
nent commission instead bf by the
tion in favor Of dealing with the
more or less haphazard method that
has always obtained.
