Jefferson City.


The house defeated the workmen's
compensation bill for engrossment by
q vote of 81 to 55. Opposition to the
bill was led by Representatives Lee of
Jasper county and Mcnamara OF St.
Louis.

neration to injured workmen. He
cited the case of a girl in st. Louis
who. he said, recently was awarded
$2l,000 damages by the circuit court
Dor the loss of both arms. and de-
clared she would have received only
81 week IL the proposed law had
been in force.
Without dissenting vote the sen.
ate passed Senator Cooks measure
submitting a constitutional amend.
ment making a special levy of Is
cents on the 500 valuation for sup
port Of the public schools. If the
measure passes the house, it will be
subnitted to vote OF the people at
the next general election.
The senate also passed the pro.
posed constitutional amendment in.
troduced by Senator Mitchell of Law
renee for the benefit of rural public
schools. 1t authorizes a majority OF
the voters OF a district to vote a
special school levy of 81 on the 800
valuation.
