for him to arrange with the

passed and other must" legis-
lation is still in the works.
The record heat wave that has
gripped Columbus, and which
shows no signs of breaking,
should help cut the oratory and
speed the actions of the legisla-
tors, who have been here since
January-on of the longest ses-
sions in history.
Rules Committees Bottle Up
Bills
The powerful Rules Com
mittee of both the Senate and
the House are aping their pre-
deceSsors. Just as in previous
years, these committees are bot
tling up vital pieces of legisla-
ton on which the people had a
right to expect action during the
six-and-a-half months session.
In the House Rules Com
mittee, for example, is H. B.
399, which has reposed here
since March. This bill would
restore the eight-hour day for
working women and children,
taken from them by the Rupub-
lican-controlled 9th General
Assembly of two years ago. But
the House Rules Committee has
kept the bill bottled up and the
Legislator will not get chance
to vote on it.
Similarly, the Senate Rules
Committee has showed another
Labor-supported bill into "a
pigeon-hole. This measure, H.
B.-36 is simple, permissive legis-
lation, that would allow the
state and political subdivisions
to enter into collective bargain
ing contracts with Labor Unions.
The bill is not mandatory and
simply permits state or city
contracts with public workers.
1t passed the House very early
in the session and sailed through
the Senate Labor Committee.
But it has been lost in the
Senate Rules Committee for
some time and there it is slated
to die.
Fancy and Assorted Politics
Thursday was an afternoon of
bombastic, political oratory in
the Senate with Senator Albert
Daniels tHighland), Republic
can wheelhorse, sounding off on
the sales tax. He alleged that
merchants were chiSeling on
their sales tax returns to the
state. This was the first time
in the long history of the sales
tax law in Ohio that Republi-
can senator was sounding off in
this fashion. He complained
bitterly because the Legislature
wasn't doing anything about it.
Repeatedly in the past the
Ohio CLIO. Council and other
liberal groups have urged the
to plug up the gap
ing holes in the sales tax law.
Just as repeatedly, Senator
Daniels and others in his party,
in control for a dozen years, re-
fused to do anything but make
it easier for merchants to chisel.
Reform of our sales tax law
is long overdue, but it is un-
likely that the Legislature, not
withStanding the fancy and as
sorted oratory of Senator
Daniels, would do anything
about if.
