Legislative News
BY c. G. MANN,
Representative from Pine County

On Monday of last week, the pub
lie welfare committee room was
crowded with blind people, asking
for greater pension allowances. This
committee, with Mrs. Macbeth Hurd
Paige as chairman, is possibly the
most distressing committee of all in
that each meeting is a story of dis
tress and suffering. And it's quite
a problem to take care of the indi-
gent adequately and at the same time
consider the ever-increasing tax bur-
den and the interests of the taXpay-
erS.
Monday afternoon quite squabble
developed over Veterans preference
in civil service bill for st. Louis
county only. The fight was carried
over to Tuesdays session and the bill
was finally recommitted to the Civil
Administration committee for IRON
ing out. With many boys again 60
ing into the army, and possibly war,
the question of Veterans preference
in public jobs is important as an
who are going now, may expect in
future years. l don't think any World
war veteran feels that veterans should
be placed far above any competitor
but that, where he is just as capable,
in view of his service to govern
ment, he should have preference on
government jobs.
School District Bill.
The chairman of Appropriations
committee has appointed sub-com-
mittee on our distressed school dis
trict bill and 1 am now trying to get
the Senate committee to appoint a
like committee to work it out to-
gether. A hearing will be held, pos
sibly the week you read this, at
which people affected may be heard.
The Public Welfare committee re-
ported out three bills this week,
relative to old age assistance. One
was to raise the limit from $50 to
$40 and repeating the lien provision
outright. This was sent out by the
committee without recommendation
We tried to get Mr.. O'Malley, author
of the measure, to leave out his $40
provision so we could vote on the
lien repeal alone, but he refused
to concede so the bill came in and
because it carried an increase in
state appropriation, must necessarily
go to Appropriation committee, and
l doubt very much that it will ever
come out of there.
Would Modify Lien.
The other two bills passed out by
the Welfare committee were COM
mittee bills recommended by the sub
committee, modifying the lien to
about the extent suggested by the

vision reducing the salaries of these judges from $0,600 to $7,600. The House version of the measure car- ried the lower salary, while the Senate insisted on the higher re- fnuneration.
 The bill also made provision for appointment of three additional Common Pleas judges.
 New Version of Labor
 The Senate passed q new version of 6 state labor relations act, fol- lowed by Q statement by Gov. Hur- Icy which said: T consider the es- tablishment of 6 state labor rela- tions board as an essential part Of the fabric of our state government. Collective bargaining is necessary in normal tiineS-and 1t IS doubly necessary in time of emergency"
 The House already has killed one bill creating c labor relations act in the state, and was believed ready to sidetrack the new measure when 1t arrives. Democrats were believed to have introduced the new version for l042 campaign purposes.
 The Senate passed @ measure giving the state liquor control coin- mission discretionary authority in the issuance, but only after 6 bit- ter clash between Sen. Joseph P. Cooney and Sen. Leon Riscassi, both Hartford Democrats but not in the same faction.
