Interesting Facts Concern
ing Legislation introduced

We caught w. E. I.awry, secretary
OF the Senate. on Tuesday. when he
mad breathing spell and the first one
Tor many a week. He was perfectly
willing to sit down for a minute or
Two and answer a few questions con-
corning matters of interest regarding
the number Of measures introduced in
the Legislature, etc, because we knew
that he had kept card index of all
such things throughout the session.
WELL" said the secretary. "since
you've caught me | suppose | might as
well tell YOU what l know about that
My card index, and 1 suppose it is
the first one ever kept, shows that a
total of l949 matters were introduced
in the Legislature. of which a total of
633 became laws. 1t shows that ISL
acts were introduced, of which 514 be-
came law and 56S resolves were intro
duced, Of which 119 became law. In
addition, AIT petitions were present
ed, many Of them in blanket form,
some including as many as As or so
separate petitions but presented as
from John Jones and 1853 others"
Same with the resolves, the blanket
form being used in numerous cases,
so that in the matter of State insti-
buttons. ways and bridges, pensions,
etc, one blanket resolution might take
care of a dozen or so matters which
formerly had each a separate resolve.
"In addition to the matters newly
introduced we also had some II or 10
reports of special committees from the
18th Legislature presented and acted
upon or filed. And all this array was
exclusive of House and Senate or
ders." You can imagine the separate
pieces of paper necessary to be hand
led by the secretary of the Senate and
the clerk of the House in keeping the
record and the work entailed. I found
the card system from which 1 got this
detailed information almost invaluable
and it has more than paid for itself
in the information 1t carries.
Another thing | find that for the
first time. in my memory at least, a
definite policy has been adopted for
taking the appropriations for some OF
the bureaus and departments out Of
the resolve class and placing under the
statutes. SO that they will be fixed and
continuous amounts. This will avoid in
future session the bother, at a time
and expense of drafting separate re-
solves for each, holding hearings, en-
crossing. etc, all that will be neces-
sary being to enter the amount in the
first appropriation bill and it will at
once be taken care of. 1t greatly SIM
plifies that work. Many other items
will undoubtedly be covered in sim
liar manner, as the work of develop
ing the Budget system advances and
will be for the Improvement of the
State system in every particular. l

Local Freight Handlers, Ask In
ternationa| President to
Look Into Strike.

At the meeting Of the Freight
Handlers union No. "a last Monday
evening, the secretary was instructed
to communicate with President r. V.
OConnor of the International Long,
shorement's association and request
that he make a personal investiga-
ton of the local strike situation.
There was a large attendance and
the members reiterated their inten-
ton to remain firm for their demands
for an increase in wages from so to
60 cents an hour. The strike began
Oct. 21.
According to the officials Of the
union, the officers of the State Fed
Grafton of Labor will be asked to rem
der assistance in settling the trouble,
and it is expected that representa-
tive of the state body will arrive in
the city shortly.
The committee which attended the
meeting of the Superior Freight
Handlers union last Friday night re-
ported that no action was taken on
the request of the Duluth union that
the former also go on strike in SYM
pathy with the local men.
A donation of IS was made to the
tobacco fund Of: the State Fedora
ton for the soldiers in France.
It was also decided to purchase 200
r:.mphlets distributed by the Mooney
defense committee of San Francisco.
