Harrisburg. Indications that
there will be no workmen's compensa-
tion act passed by the present Leg-
iglature. The House and Senate are
at odds over the House bill The
House will probably refuse to concur
in the Senate's amendment which in-
serted the “optional” clause, though
it may put the bill through and allow
the Governor to veto it. The Senate

fused to concur in the amendments
The Senate proposes to maintain its
position and will ask for a conference
committee. There is not much chance
for agreement.
The situation is parallel that
of two years ago in the consideration
of the utilities bill. The Governor at
that time was unable to force the
bill as passed by the House, and as
an agreement could be reached
the bill died during the last hours of
the session. The Executive maintains
the same position now in reference to
