At a special meeting of Painters and
Decorators Union No. 79, held Monday
night in Painters Union hall, $50 Eigh-
teenth street, the tentative agreement
for a new wage scale and working con-
ditions covering period of three years,
reached between committees of the union
and master painters, was rejected, after
a rathe- heatend and lengthy debate. II
is expected no further action will be
taken IN the matter until the State In
dustrial Commission hands down a decs-
ion upon the subject of a straight 5
cents an hour increase, the original de-
mands Of the union. This question has
been argued before the commission and
its award is expected soon.
The agreement which was turned down
at Monday nights meeting proposed that
wages be increased . cents an hour dur
ing the year 1916, or until April !. 1917.
then another 5 cents an hour raise, and
an additional increase of similar sum
for the third year. Conditional upon these
terms all members of the union would
cease to do contract or jobbing work,
other than those now recognized as con
tracing painters. who would be auxiliary
member of the Master Painters Associa-
tion. il was this latter provision which
caused the agreement to be rejected

TON ON MEASURE TO SPLIT
SUNFLoWER COUNTY.
ENLARGED COURT MEETS
First Session Of New Supreme Court
10 Held With State Officials and
Visitors Present News at
Capitol.

Both branches OF the Legislature re.
sumed work Jan. 81 after the 4S-hour
recess, and considerable business was

sent to the mill.
The feature OF interest in the Sen.
ate was the passage by a close vote

missions would be reduced.
The bill provides that neither the
state or any county, municipality or
levee board shall be chargable with
any fees or expenses on account OF
any investigation or suit made or in
stituted by the state revenue agent,
and he shall not receive any salary,
but he shall be entitled to retain as
full compensation for his services and
expenses Is per centum on all amounts
collected and paid over by him and
OF the purchase money of all lands
bid In for the state by him, and sold
by the land commissioner" The bill

ed that 1t will have considerable sup
port il it reaches the vote.

Enlarged Court Meets.

Without ceremonial, the new and
enlarged Mississippi Supreme Court
sat for the first time on Manday, Jan.
81. This was the elimination of long
and earnest effort on the part of both
bench and bar Of the state to so en-,
large the court of last resort that no
n would be denied his just rights as
submitted to the courts of this state.
or those rights delayed so long owing
to accumulated business.
The new regime was put into force
and effect when the six members OF
the bench, assembled to the bench and
took the seats assigned to them.
Chief Justice Smith and Senior Asso.
ciate Justice c. Cook occupied the
two middle chairs, with Justices Hol.
den and Sykes, as Division A, seated
at the right Of the chief justice or pre-
siding justice, while Justices Stevens
and Potter sat to the right of Justice
Cook.
The courtroom was filed with spec.
tators, including full 100 members of
the bar and many state officials and
members Of the Legislature who were
on hand to witness the opening.
Justice Smith stated the new order
in an extended address, indicating how
the business Of the court would pro,
coed, with a view to %expediting the
business before it as rapidly as posi-,
BILE. There were no decisions to hand
down. and after the formal opening
Division b retired and Division A con-
tinued sitting to hear arguments in
the state criminal docket.
A most important change II proce.
dure is that which provides for CON.
tinuous sittings of the court through.
out the week, except Saturdays. BY
adopting this plan the court hopes to
clear its dockets in a comparatively
short time.

Loan Tax Exemption Passes.

After three days Of debate and ar.
gument, the Mississippi House of Rep.
resentatives has reached a point where
a vote could be taken on the bill to
repeal sundry exemption from tay.
alton clauses of the general revenue
laws. which included that eXempting
money loaned at seven per cent inter.
est. While there was a plurality vote
on final passage some doubt was felt
whether there was a constitutional ma.
jority, and 1t is up to the speaker to
decide this very important question.
The House has voted down the Bar
~ amendment, excepting the six per
cent exemption clause from the gen
eral bill. by a vote Of 60 to 40, thus
leaving the act in a fair way of re.
peal. An amendment by Mr.. Hayes OF

cent money loaned where six per cent
now occurs, attracted considerable sup.
port, and was finally carried. attract.
