for women and minors, were suddenly
terminated by motion to indefinitely
postpone hearings on the bill.
The motion was made by Repre-
sentative Hiner and seconded by Rep
resentative George E. Thompson, Lu-
cas- county. On voice vote, the mo-
ton carried almost unanimously.
Exemptions from the eight-hour
day were asked by additional employ
er representatives in House Labor
Committee hearings, increasing antag-
onism of committee members towards
the Senate approval bill until it was
merely a question of who would be
first to move indefinite postponement.
Women representatives of Unions
and other organizations who packed
the hearing room and opposed the bill
applauded the action Of the Labor
Committee.
An effort on the part of Senator
Fred G. Reiners, Cincinnati to''sneak"
an amendment into House Bill 4O2,
resulted disastrously to the amend
ment and to the bill, which was killed
by vote of eight to % after the

House Bill 402, which exempted
salaries above $4,000 from the unem-
ployment compensation tax, had been
approved by the Senate, when Senator
Reiners asked that it be reconsidered
to give him an opportunity to include
an amendment which had been killed
on two occasions in a House Commit
tee.
The amendment proposed to exempt
tips and gratuities from consideration

sentiment of the effort to slip this un-
desirable amendment into the bill
without hearing in committee.

bly,.
The bill, introduced by Senator
Keifer, passed the House of Repre-
sentatives last week by vote of Is

premc Court ruling uphoding the CON

port of employers for the bill when
it came up for passage.
By vote of 30 to /, the Senate last
week approved House Bill 400 intro
duced by Representative f. f. Addi-
son, Columbus, after reinserting an

sation allowed by the Industrial Com

cur in the Senate's amendment, after
having eliminated that feature Of the
agreed employer-labor M asure
