WoMAN'S NINE-HoUR BILL Is
KIELED-NOT A SURPRISE
Springfield, ILL.,, May 28.-.Woman's
nine-hour bill killed in house yester-
day by vote of So to SO.


In view of the feeling existing in
labor circles and in Springfield gen.
orally that this legislature would not
permit health labor legislation to
pass, the action of the house does
not come as a complete surprise.
Very little confidence was felt after
the hearing by the subcommittee
headed by Leech in Chicago, and
though labor hoped by its convention
in Springfield to add little moral
suasion to the situation there has
been an undercurrent of uneasiness
regarding this bill.
Members of the legislature are at
tempting to justify their position by
the stand that they voted against a
health measure for women which
would have benefited hundreds of
thousands of working women mere
Iy because they resented the speech
of MediIl Mccormick, sponsor of the
bill, which they interpreted as a
threat.
The waterway bill, carrying an ap-
preparation of $5,000,O00 by bond is
sue, passed the senate.
