While the various bills were under
consideration by committees, out OF
public view, the republicans used
every manner OF tactics to hamper
and dely them. BY adjournments. By
wrangling and by attempts at
amendments republican representa-
hives ana senators prolonged the
labors Of the committees. Wherever
1t was possible they forced confer
ences to adjust differences which
they had purpOsely injected into
bills adopted in the different branch
es Of congress. Sens Smoot and
PenrOse were the masters OF these
maneuvers. but they had assistance
from others in the senate in the
lower house.

compelled congress to undertake re

WORKMENS COMPENSATION
BILL AROusEs OPPOSITION

BOISE.-When Senator Mason Of
Shoshone county yesterday afternoon
introduced his amendment to the
workman's compensation law he start
ed a battle in the upper house that
may have far-reaching effects.
Mason would strike out "agricul-
tural pursuits" from the list of ex-
emptions and he intends to make a
strong fight to have his desires pre-
vail. When the bill was passed at a
previous session there would have
been a question of it's passage had
the compromise not been made with
the farmers.
What started the rumpus at this
time was the effort of Senator Orme
to have live stock interests also ex-
empted as we'll as agriculture. The
original bill is by Porter of Latah
who wanted school teachers and Of
flee employees in the select class OF
those who did not have insurance.
After the committee of the whole
got through with the bill at the after
noon session they had taken out the
line which exemped the bank and Of
flee employees at the request of the
author of the bill.
1t was following that action that
Senator Mason made his fight and
the senate adjourned in the middle of
it to think over for day what action
is best for them to take.
1t is certain that majority of the
senators favor having compensation
to all classes of workmen. They see
in this the only way to build up re-
serve and reduce the cost to the en-
ployers of labor. But there is the
feeling that it may not be best at this
time to antagonize the farming ele-
ment. In other words the majority is
not sure that it wants to be on record
for the change.
On the other hand there is not
business man in the senate who does
not believe that it would be the right
