 Doctors Behind Shield
 'I know one man in the House right now who would have been forced to pay at least $200 in doc tor bills if he had not been fortu nate enough to be working for one of the mining companies during the past winter. If the doctors who are behind this bill will come out frank ly and say that they will care for the families of the men as well as the men under the new system. shall favor 1t. But they don't say that. They say that they are here Tor the money and can't afford to care for the families"
 MT. Burns asked those favoring the bill how it would effect the can neries in the Bristol Bay section, where the companies provide con tract doctors. He was informed that as the canneries did not come under the compensation act and as their doctors were furnished free, it would not effect them.
 The roll was then called and the vote stood:
 Ayes,-Allan, Cannon, Casey, Cor rigan, Coombs, Daly. Day, Price, Snow.
 Noes Benson, Burns, Mccormack. Murray, Nerland, Sowerby and Mr. Hess.
