Immediately on II. B. No. 227 coming
5lup on special order this morning, with
4 67 bills on the calendar to be disposed
of, sheldon moved for indefinite post
ponement This was surprise attack
and not looked for, biit Representative
] Kubli took the floor in defense of the
/ bill and asked that it be given hear
ing on final vote
Briefly, Kubli Is argument for the
passage of the bin was that it was a
measure to protect the working men as
well as the manufacturer that it was
to protect one Of the greatest industries
in the state, that it would prevent the
violence that all abhor, that it would
| prevent the interference Of the ! w.
/ w. = with honest labor, that it is aimed
4 to correct and remedy the situation ex-
listing in Portland that should be rem
edied for the best interests of the state
(! He said it gave protection to the big
manufactures or capitalist as well as
the little coffee house proprietor
i In support of the measure W. b. Jancs
said he was heart-sick of the whole
business Of the legislature and that he
would never run for it again He cx-
pected to come back as member of the
+ third house. He said he lived through
Que strike, knew of the violence, and
was turned against it. He declared the
sidestepping Of the members OF the
! house was a disgrace.
Debate is Spirited.

labor was so delicate he thought the at

Of capital and labor were identical.
Because no more important bill has
come before the legislature in years
Representative Eaton wanted it dis
cussed ON its merits. He was opposed
; TO it on the ground OF demonstrations
ality. He believed the matter could be
adjusted by an ordinance of the city Of
Portland. If it was passed he said it
| makes the state hot-bed of industrial
discomfort.
Brownell thought IL dangerous
measure as it would deprive men Of free
speech, the right to be heard, to argue,
TO educate. He asked who il going to
! determine just what is "intimida-
! ton ~
Forbes also thought Portland could
handle the situation by city ordinance
as its $4,000 year commissioners had
absolute authority to do It, He declared
: the trouble with the legislature was
] that there were too many men who
I had aspirations to be governor or United
States senator
Small opposed ii as a vicious bill. It
was his opinion that the real solution
