PASSED THE BILL
House Would Consolidate
Three Labor Departments
And Place Them Under One
Head Appointed by Hodges.

After bitter fight in which
Speaker w. l.. Brown of the house
charged that the Socialists place the
red flag above the stars and stripes,
and in which the two Socialist MEM
bers of the house declared the legis-
lature is giving a knockout blow to
labor, and threatened that the seats
of. the members in the near future
would be filled with Socialists, the
house late yesterday by Il vote of SO
to 81 passed the Hines bill, creating
a department of labor and industry.
The bill also abolishes the present
system of selecting commissioner
of labor
The only serious change made in
the bill before it was passed was an
amendment placing the office entire
1y at the appointment of the COVER
nor. The original bill provided for
an appointment until the time of the
regular election in 1914, when the
commissioner should be elected by the
people of the state.
The amendment striking out the
elective feature of the measure was
introduced by w. e. Lyon of Lincoln.
A standing vote on the amendment
was necessary before the speaker was
satisfied that it had been carried.
Three minor amendments We're
adopted and n fourth rejected before
the measure finally was passed.
Speaker Brown offered an amendment
striking out the word organized with
reference to the qualifications of the
commissioner. All that will be neceS-
sary will be for him to have been
identified with labor, not necessarily
organized labor, to qualify. An
amendment by J. NJ. Satterthwaite of
Butler took off the restriction that
the commissioner must be less than
so years old.
F. a. Hines of Scott, author of the
bill, offered an amendment providin Q
that the assistant commissioner must
have had at least five years practical
experience as a miner in coal mines.
This was adopted. The former meas
ure left the office open to operators
of mines
An effort to cut the salary of the
commissioner from $4,000 a year to
$4,000 a year met with failure a

Japanege AZ EquaI RIahts

Toxic, Japan, May 17-Irresponsi-
ble war talk was condemned by most
of the speakers at. a mass meeting to-
day, organized by an association rep
resenting partly business and partly
educational interests, at which some
parliamentary representatives were
also present.
The speeches made by the majority
of the educational representatives
were contrasting the other addresses,
sober and conservative. They gave
expression to confidence that the
Japanese would steadfastly point out
the unfairness Of discrimination until
prejudice is removed.
It was, however, declared that the
time had arrived when the Japanese
must be given equal treatment with
other peoples, and the speakers con-
demned the aggressions of the whites
in the world against the colored races,
the instance being given of the lynch
ing Of negroes in the southern states.
| Professor Nagai Of Waseda univer-
sity. in the course Of his address,
said:
God made the white and colored
peoples equal. Unless we claim equal
Iity we shall fail to carry out Gods
wishes"
This was received with eheering.
Representatives Teutako Hinata and
Keno Hayaish protested against the
discrimination shown BY the alien
land ownership bill and condemned
the lack Of land and agricultural
clauses in the existing treaty They
scored the reckless agitators, who
they said, were merely playing the
game Of those seeking orders fol
guns and warships.
Resolutions were then adopted de
claring that the Japanese in America
must have equal rights with the
/ whites and that this fundamental so
Tuition Of the existing difficulty would
be upheld by the Japanese.
