bill and it's intents and purposes. The
proposed amendment was turned
over to the committee on rules.
To Appeal Recall of Passes.
The House last night directed At
torney-General Wescott to carry TO
the Court of Errors and Appeals the
decision of the Supreme Court in sus-
tanning the Delaware, Dackawanna
and Western Railroad Company in
refusing to give free transportation to
certain State officials who claimed
the right to ride free by reason of
acts of the Assembly.
A resolution was also adopted call
ing upon the encouragement for an
opinion as to the validity of the ac-
ton of the Pennsylvania railroad
yesterday in notifying 1877 State Off
cials and legislative employees that
they would no longer be transported
free of charge, Notwithstanding leg
islative acts that they be so carried.
Would Legalize Sunday shows.
Sunday moving picture shows are
to be authorized If bill by Assem-
blyman Harry Kuhlke, of Hudson
county, is passed by the Legislature.
1t provides that moving pictures
which have been approved by the
State board of censors. which the
same assemblyman would create by
another bill previously introduced by
him. may be shown in any church.
theatre, show house. auditorium or
other place suitable on Sundays.
Assemblyman John Hunter. Repub-
lican, of Passaic county, aims at the
separation of girls and boys into sep
arate high schools, for he has intro
duced a bill providing that in any
city having a population of 1l5,OOo
and two high schools, one shall be
used exclusively for the education OF
females and the other for males. The
bill as drawn is devised for Paterson.
which had a population at the census
of 1910 of 125,6O0. and has two high
Amendments to Civil Service.
More amendments to the civil SER
vice laws were made the subject or
bills introduced to the Assembly last
night by Assemblyman Joseph +.
Mulligan, of Hudson, the recognized
of the City and Coun-
ty Employees Association of Jersey
City and Hudson county. One of them
Is designed to extend civil service to
all officers of counties and munich
palities which have adopted the pro-
Visions of the civil service act. All
officers of the municipalities affected
by the proposed law would come
under the Civil Service Commission.
The bill goes farther than that, for
il seeks to abolish section 26 entirely.
That is the provision which permits
an employee to be dismissed or sus-
pended pending his trial for an offense
charged against him. Mr.. Mulligan's
bill aspires to make the employees
office continuous, so that he retains
mis- position up to the time that the
result of his trial is announced and
he is actually dismissed.
Along with that bill, known as As
sembly bill No. 213, now in the hands
IF the judiciary committee, Mr.. Multi
gan also offered Assembly bill No.
,15, which provides that whenever it
becomes necessary for the purpose OF
economy to dismiss an employee who

engaged in the same kind Of work
The latest appointee shall be the one
dropped, unless for relative efficiency
or conduct this reason should not be
applicable.
This bill, If passed, would probably
nave the effect Of preventing the dis
nissal of any employee on any
grounds other than that of economy,
when applied in conjunction with bill
No. 213. These measures, taken to-
gether, are also calculated to prevent
the abolishing of any position in a

for the creation of another in its
place, the author of the bills claims.
McCabe Resents Amendment.
An attempt to amend the bill limit
ng the hours of any week during |
which it shall be lawful to employ |
women to fifty-four and making nine
hours a days work for females is re-
sented by Assemblyman Lawrence
jr., and he said today that
he will not accept the amendment.
The amendment proposes to exempt
from the application of the bill all
counties bordering on the Atlantic
ocean, and it was offered in the As
sembly last night by Assemblyman
Lewis T. Stokes, of Cape May county.
Mr.. McCabe said that his bill is
broad enough in allowing women to
be employed nine hours a day. and
he thinks he has gone far enough in
employees of mercantile
freedom from its re-
stricttons during the week preceding
Christmas and in exempting en-
ployees of canneries packing perish
able fruits and vegetables.
Assem- blyman Stevens is a Demo-
crat, and the opposition to his amend
ment may cause a split in caucus.
Mr.. McCabe would rather take a
chance on that than amend the bill
on the lines suggested. He wants it
to apply generally to all manufactur-
ing and mercantile establishments,
laundries or restaurants all
over the State.
