SINE
DIES TODAY:
RELLEFOPPOSED
CONTINUED From Page one)

The resolution was said to have
been introduced in the Senate with
no thought. that il would be adopted
by the House. The plan. as reported
after adjournment. was proposed by
some of the Republican Senators to
put the House Democrats ION the
spot" by placing them in the posi-
tiOn of refusing to adjourn sine die
despite the State wide criticism of
the Legislature for remaining at Do
yer so long without doing anything.
Some of the Democratic leaders evi-
IDENTIFY realized the Significance of
the scheme and had the House con-
eur in the decision TO adjourn final
ly Friday.
Leaders of both parties stressed
the point that someone had made a
mistake. II is a well known fact
that for several days some of the
Democratic members have been try
ing to devise ways and means where
by they could adjourn finally in or
der to force the Governor to call a
special session for the consideration
of relief measures which move
would enable them to receive their
regular salary of SO day and mil
cage allowances for 30 days. They
have been insisting another special
session would have tn be summoned
by the Governor because Of the ur-
gency of providing some kind of a
relief program. The adoption by the
Senate of the resolution to quit
Friday provided the very thing the
Democrats have been seeking and
when the opportunity to adjourn
sine die presented itself they seized
upon il and adopted the resolution.
This. il was declared later Monday
afternoon. was where the person or
persons back of the resolution had
made greviOns mistake in failing
Iers were waiting for such an OPP
pOrtunity.
Canvass among practically all the
of the House on Monday
'eyealed that in practically every
district in the State outside Of Will
the residents are strOngl!
opposed tn any kind of direct relief.
rhe Representatives from all sec
ions of the State were emphatic in |
heir statements that their cOnstit-
rents do not want direct relief and |

Ork is practically at 4 standstill
1t there was no question of the
of opinion against di-
ct relief as general measure for
le assistance of the needy.
Caught unawares by the decision

II was the sentiment among some
the members that q relief bill. no
