Pennsylvania Legislature En-,
acts Drastic. Breaches.
Independent Thinkers.

HARRISBURG, Pa. July 10.-1t is
to the courts with an anti-sedition
bill that has been passed by the state
legislature and signed by the COVER
nor. The house defeated the measure
but later reconsidered its vote and
then passed it after a debate that
was marked by much confusion. One
law maker raised the point of order
that the bill was unconstitutional be-
cause it infringed on the freedom of
the press, but he was overruled.
In discussing this legislation, the
Pennsylvania Labor Herald, Allen
town, said:
AT times the order in the house
was a disgrace to the state of Penn
sylvania. Members could be seen
throwing paper balls at each other
like a lot of school boys.
I'VE say without reservation that
any of the members Of the legisla-
ture who are members Of fraternal
or labor organizations who would at
tempt the. same kind of behavior in
the. meeting Of these lodges as we
witnessed in the legislature would be
thrown out on their heads. Yet we
must not tell the public 'of these
disgraces or we will be charged with
sedition, as it may tend to cause dis
order,' etc. Well, this paper has
served notice before that we are go
ing down the line with what we con-
slider our duty to the organized work.

lives riding on mine cars on which
several kegs of powder were placed.
After a three-day's probe the cor.

effect that the powder ignited in a.

The jury made several recommen-
dations to guard against like acci-
dents. It is suggested that no coal
company permit the transportation
Of men and powder in the same cars
or on the same train. It is also
suggested that in mines where elec-

in proper containers, and only the
men needed to operate the train be
allowed to ride on it. It is further
suggested that coal companies re-
fuse to allow men ia take powder
with them on mine carriages They
also recommended that safety rules
be adopted to keep men a proper dis
