SENATE GETS ALIEN
LABOR LAW REPEAL
Would Have Passed Measure,
but Caucus Decides on
Hearing To-day.
DEMOCRATS FIGHT BILL

hLBASr, March 1.-THE opposition Of
h Democratic leaders in the Legts-
lature to the prompt repeal OF the alien
labor law. affecting all public construc.
ton work In the state, led to an effort
by the Republicans to make the repeal
bill a law to-day, under an emergency
message from Gov. Whitman.
Republican Leader Elon II Brown
conferred with Mr.. Whninan and Will
lam Hayward. the Governors counsel.
several times and drafted a bill re-
pealing the alien labor law and pro-
viding that public officers must make
supplemental contracts for all public
work, where the contractors are will
allen labor law must he lived up to.
At first II was thought two bills
would have to be drafted to accomplish
these ends. but Senator Brown sue
ceeded in drafting a single bill which
met the approval OF those Interested.
The Senate Committee on Labor and
Industries reported this bill favorably
to the Senate. and It was advanced to
the order OF third reading.
The Republican Senators then held
. caucus and the only two Senators
TO oppose the repeal provision were
mate Jones OF Chenango m Walters
OF Syracuse. Senators Gilchrist and
Lawson OF Brooklyn did not attend the
caucus, although they were at the Sem
ate session. Senator Wood OF Rens-
selaer was out OF town.
After the caucus Chairman Spring
OF tie Committee on Labor and In
dustries announced that he would give
q hearing on the repeal bill tomorrow
afternoon at 3 o'clock.
"The consensus in the caucus said
Senator Brown. was that there was no
point In sending relief to the Belgians
n other foreigners abroad and then
to turn around and send the aliens We
have here to the soup houses In New
York city because we will not permit
them to labor on public works.
Nevertheless as the repeal bill affects
New York city more than any other
section of the state. the upstate Repuh-
lican Senator's thought New York city
interests as well as interests
should have an opportunity TO present
their views on the proposed repeal at
the hearing tomorrow
While the repeal bill may pass the
Senate on Thursday, Senator Brown
would not hazard a guess as to when
IT would get through the Legislature,
but said that II was sure to pass both
houses and be signed by Gov. Whitman
within 3 reasonable time.
