Sessions Law Bill Goes
To Third Senate Reading
Lusk Opposes Advancement,
but Is Republicans Break
Away From Leader
From a .SloG Correspondent

ALBANY, April 12--The Pitcher
Belts bill abolishing the sessions law
abuses was advanced to the order Of
third reading in the Senate to-day,
after bitter debate which resulted in
eighteen Republicans breaking away
from Majority Leader Lusk.
Just why Senator Lusk opposed the
Pitcher Belts bill, although it was
earnestly urged by Governor Miller
was not explained. But most of the
Republican members present deserted
Senator Lusk, and corralling eight
Democratic votes and the Socialist
members, Senator Seidel advanced the
bill.
Senator Lusk wanted a compromise
bill advanced. He said that it would
reduce the sessions law printing costs
about so per cent.
"Thcre cannot be u tifty-fifty COM
promise with graft" said Senator
Pitcher. "The newspapers of the state
will not touch these sessions laws.
Some Of the papers in New York City
which print it are the Manhattan and
Bronx Advocates, with a circulation of
little more than 1000. Another is The
Riverside Review of Manhattan. 1t has
circulation of 1872. One paper in
Buffalo is The Hamburg Independent.
1t has circulation of 1923. Last wear
1t received 1888 for printing the ses-
sion laws. This is twice as much as it
would take to purchase the entire plant
OF The Hamburg Independent"
Senator Pitcher declared that Gov
ernor Miller would send a special mes
sage urging the passage of the bill.
