leads one to believe that there
were quite a number who
voted for the saving of the bill
because they were convinced
that the bill was lost, and it
makes something to stell the

their constituents are gullible
enough to believe that zone

In Strengthening" proposed laws,
the present session of the legislature
is probably establishing a new high
To be sure, little loss to the people
is entailed in the killing of number
of these bills, as many of them are
of inconsequential character. How
ever, it has ruthlessly killed many
measures that would have eased the
lot Of the common run of people in
the state very materially.
Labor Laws Killed
During the past week two bills of
direct interest to labor were killed
on adverse committee reports. H. B.
SO which definitely provided for the
protection of rights of labor was one
and the other, H. B. 1879 was a wages
and hour bill patterned after the ma
tional law. The roll call votes on
both of these measures will be found
elsewhere in this issue of The Voice.
Home Guard
House Bill 252 providing for the
organization of a home guard is one
of the measures that the slaughter
House failed to kill The reason ap-
pears plain that it is ardently de-
sired by the large interests and has
distinct elements of danger for or
ganized labor. 1t proposes to create
an armed force to take the place OF
the National Guard now modified for
training by the federal government.
1t contains provisions which elemi-
mates state lines for policing purposes.
This vicious measure is now in the
senate, and received tentative APPROX
al by the adoption OF a favorable COM
mittee report today. The roll call
vote on this measure is also carried
in this issue of The Voice.
Old Age Pensions
H. B. 100 which defined explicitly
what aged persons were entitled to
old age pensions and would have had
the effect of removing much of the
procedure which is humiliating to the |
aged in applying for pensions was de-
cisively voted down by the house.
The thirty day" divorce bill was
passed by the house, but met death |
in the senate today.
The 10th gambling bill which would
have submitted the question of legal
izing all rackets to the vote Of the
people at the next election died in
the senate on Monday of this week.

TRESPASSINC AT THE CAPITAL
By A. I. HARRIS

hold water, since the increased cost
of leather, even If true as claimed
would account for but six cents in
| the cost of pair of shoes. There
has been absolutely no increase in
wages paid to shoe workers during
that period, it is said.
The shoe manufacturing industry
by the way, wasn't doing so badly
even before the period of the national
emergency so far as profits are con-
cerned Figures released last week by
the federal trade commission show
that profits of the 16 largest shoe
manufacturing concerns during 1889
was 9.6 per cent of the total capital
investment, or about so per cent Of
the total amount paid out in salaries
and wages to its workers. Thanks to
Murphy, these profits now will be
greatly enhanced. But the labor rela-
lions policies OF these firms are as
reactionary IS ever, and the workers
are receiving no benefits whatever
from the current prosperity - profit
teering.
