Helena, Feb. 21.-After having beer
dismembered by the striking out Of al
| of it's several sections the anti picket
ing measure, II. B. No. 40, which ha.
had checkered career in the house
was killed Monday afternoon when it,
enacting clause was stricken by q
most substantial majority under a spe.
cial order Of business in committee Of
the whole.
It's author, Gen. c.. s. Warren ol
Silver Bow county, made one of his
characteristic addresses in behalf o1
the bill but it succumbed to the on
slaughts Of the labor sympathizers,
constitutional authorities and unfriend-
~ members from the various walks.
He said:
us this a Republican assembly? It
was supposed that we had a good ma
jority in this assembly. More than 90
years ago the Republican party met
the question of slavery in our land and
undertook to free and did free those
in slavery. The slavery that prevailed
20 years ago was no worse than the
slavery existing in Butte.
