'45 Senate May Never Adjourn
 sszau e

Except for clerks and typists, finishing up the loose ends of the past 17th session of the Territorial legislature, legislative halls are now deserted and the 17th session has passed into history. That is, as far as the house of representatives is concerned, at least According to the rule book it is doubtful whether the senate has really adjourned or will be in session for the next two years.
 House completed it's calendar in good time and spent most of the late hours of the afternoon a n q evening on Thursday, the final day, awaiting the appropriation bill from the senate. It arrived in the house just before midnight and confer ence committees went to work on it. Conference committees a s o worked, in the shag hours of the session, over Senate bill No Al. asking an increase in salaries of territorial employees, and senate bill 53, providing for a four and eight cent additional case tax on salmon. House had amended SB Al. which, coming from the senate had included only territorial officials for a salary boost to $625O per year and had omitted the little fellow" (clerks, stenographers) from recog- nition at all. House amended the bill to give the officials their boost but added an amendment which read and the salaries of all other territorial employees shall be fixed at 25 per cent over their respective salaries in force in April 1, 1943."
 Senate Objects
 Senate objected to this amend ment and it went to free confer ence coming out with a compromise of 15 per cent increase for all ter ritorial employees. Senate finance committee had strenuously objected to having the little fellows" in cluded in the bill maintaining that they were being cared for in a 20 per cent increase in the appropria- tion bill. Joker in that was that the senate was giving them a % per cent increase over salaries set

departure quiet again resumed but following morning Walker put Rep. Badger, elderly farmer from Fair banks. on the carpet. asking him how he had voted on the amend ment Badger. seeing fire in the Senator's eye, tried to be evasive to avoid trouble, but Walker went into the boiler room and looked at the ballot, saw Badger had vot- ed for the amendment and dashed into the house.
 Fists Fly
 He called me a name man kills another man for in the sourb where came from, Badger said Then he walked over and pushed Badger to the floor. pummeIIing him generally and after Badger fin- ally got to his feet he 'Iet him have it."
 I'm sorry I did" easv-poinp Badger said later. 'I lost my head when he hit me and called me what he did"
 All day Friday the house stayed in session hoping the senate would take action on some of the nearly 40 house bills they were obviously 'stalling" over, one of the most important of which was house bill 76. a worlSmens compensation act revision. Senators Browneh and Gordon led the fight to get the measure on the floor Gordon ask ing that Labor Commissioner Mike Haas be permitted to speak on the bill. He told his fellow senators that any effort to adjourn before H.B. 76 had been given a hearing would be an act of sabotage to the welfare of the laboring man. But before the title of the bill could be read, Senator Allen Shattuck, lead CT of the opposition in the senate moved that the president appoint to notify the house and governor that the senate was ready to adjourn sine die. The motion lost to g. Senators 0. D. Cochran and Walker had already packed up their bags" and left the senate. Personalities then began to be flung back and forth between the Shattuck clique and lib- eral members and President Coffey

by the 1889 budget when wage
 scales were much lower and under
 that provision many of the clerks and stenOgraphers were getting no
 raise at all. 1t was said some few
 would even sustain cuts in salaries.
 House insisted the raise must be on present salaries and the 15 per cent they finally received was more than 25 per cent planned. for them by the senate finance committee
 Senate bill 53 fell by the way side after a free conference com mittee had considered it. Originally it had called for a four and eight cent additional case tax on salmon. House raised this by adding a zero to the four and eight, making it forty and eighty cents. Then Repre- sentative Jennings Id ded d an amendment. slipping in a graduated tax scale on traps and additional tax of two dollars on every thou sand fish caught in any one trap over the first hundred thousand. Conference committee from the sen ate consisted of Whaley, Rogge and Green, from the house, Jennings, Taylor and Gill. Rumor had it that senate committee would at first have no "truk" with house commit tee and demanded the bill be put back in it's original form 'or else. House asked for free conference which was granted and the same committee met with them House offered to compromise but senate stuck to its guns and the bill finally went back to the sen l ate where it was indefinitely post DOned.
