S6mUiy WuSu tu0 I1dIt I'LL was az
vanced to engrossment. In effect 1t
provides that when advertising for
help to take the place OF strikers at
a plant, the employers or agencies so
advertising shall include in the notice
a statement of the strike troubles ex-
listing. 1t also allows action for dam
ages to be recovered by laborers COM
ing from other cities who find that
unknown to them when they left
home, a strike was on at the plant
where they sought work, and who SUI
fer damages through loss of wages,
transportation and board in seeking
the position through fraudulent ad'
vertisements
The assembly engrossed the Enge-
bretson bill appropriating $4,000 yearly
for two years to continue the manu-
facture and distribution by the state
of hog cholera serum; and the Lang
bill giving the school fund OF the CITY
of Waukesha $3.50 for maintaining
teacher at less than the minimum
wage, and the Minkley bill prohibit
ing sexual relations between persons
afflicted with venereal diseases. The
assembly killed the Kurtenacher bill
doing away with the five days PERIOD
now required between the date OF
issuing a marriage license and the
marriage ceremony. The law Is de-
signed to discourage hasry marriages
and Opponents. The F. F. Hanson
bill appropriating $1,000 for maca-
damizing roads and building dock in
Peninsula State park, Door county,
was also slaughtered.
Third reading was ordered for the
Culbertson bill penalizing persons who
misrepresent the breed of pure bred
animals at the time of sale; the G. H.
Everett bill requiring that hunting IL
censes may be granted only to clti-
zens of the United States, and two
Fairchild bills augmenting the power
and efficiency of the state militia.
The zone buck" bill, introduced by
Assemblyman Kleinsteiber of Ashland,
designed to limit the number of deer
taken by hunter during the deer
season to one buck, as matter OF
conserving the supply of these anil
mails, passed the assembly. Other
bills passed were: Schroeder, allow
ing persons afflicted with tuberculosis
in the incipient stage to be received
for treatment in county tuberculosis
sanatoriums; Donnelly, allowing tenn
porary clerkships in the city treas
urers and the city clerks offices to
be filled without civil service examina-
lions.
The present law requiring strict
clinical tests as preliminary to the
granting of a marriage license, and
popularity known as the eugenics mar
riage law, promises to remain on the
statute books. The lower house, at
least. has so indicated by advancing
the Morgan bill amending the law.
The purpose of the change proposed
is to eliminate the rigid scientific
test, such as the Wasserman test,
and to require only thorough physi-
cal examination and a microscopical
examination to discover presence OF
certain disease symptoms. This favor
able action came only after an hours
hot debate, in which the fight CEN
tered on Assemblyman Carl Hansen's
amendment to include women as we'll
as men in the laws province, and also
persons afflicted with tuberculosis.
The assembly rejected the Grell
amendment to exempt women, and
finally defeated the Hansen amend
ment after which viva voce vote
determined the result in favor of the
existing law as amended by Mr.. Nor
gan.
Favors Change in Mothers Pension.
The board of control has sent to
the legislature it's report based on
the survey and investigation in the
question of aid to mothers and de-
pendent children. The report is the
result of one years field work by
trained social workers.
The report shows that II counties
have adopted the state law and are
giving aid to dependent children. Mil
waukee county is the leader In the
matter of dependent families and In
giving aid. In December, 1914, 256
| families with S53 children, or q per
cent of the total family population,
were receiving allowances from the
| juvenile court. This number remains
practically stationary throughout the
| year.
These families received $3,405.S3
| during the month of December, Of
which the state paid $1,702.91. The
report says that the double system of
county and state investigation Of every
case is a needless precaution and dou-
bles the expense. 1t also doubts the
ACCESSIBILITY of giving cash aid to
needy mothers unless they are capable
of handling cash and are likely to be
dependent for a period of time exceed
ing year. 1t also shows that in Mil.
waukee county there we're 100 normal
| dependent children who might have
remained with their mother, but who
were in county institutions, If assist
ance had been extended to the fam
