- 1 - THE SOBANTON TRIBUNE-SATURDAY, MARCH 2, 1901. WILL FIGHT IT IN THECOURTS Concluded fiom Pane 1.1 Izatlou men nt neix ns to liow they will bo expected to line up. That they arc not yet ready to take Up the subject, win evllenrel today, when the mom flnRrant flllhustiTltiK tnctlcM weie reoileil to, In order to prevent the Keator bill fimu coming before the house, A fixed rule rullH for adjournment on Friday morning lit ? o'clock. An hour before that time, when the order for resolutions was reached, Mr. Hert ford, ItiHiirRi'tit, of l'hlludelpla, moved to take the bill from me hands of the elections committee, because of ths committee's delay In noting upon It. Chairman Orr explained that the eommlttee hod considered the bill, but did not want to come to u final agree ment on It until the Focht bill came over from the senate that the two bills might be computed and a beurlng had on both at the same time. Mr. Rlxon, Insurgent, of Ulk, ie marked that Quay was reported to have repudiated the Koeht bill, and that If this was true It would never get through the senate. Mr. Wayne, Democrat, of U'hlgh, spoke In favor of the resolution, and said It was futile to wait for the Foeht bill. lie characterized the Keator bill at not only representing the will of the people In the matter of ballot reform, but the concentrated wisdom of an organized body of prom Inent and Influential men who had made this subject a special study. "We want to emphasise and serve no tice, now, that this bill Is the measure the Democrats will suppoit. If the esteemed leader of the party In major ity here Is leported correctly, he wants the Democrats to come forward with a ballot rcfoim bill that the people want. lie says he will support such n measure, and Senator Quay Is a man it his woid. We have come forwaid with a bill that meets his require ments and call upon the Quayltes to suppoi t It." The ayes and najs were called on the adoption of the resolution, notwith standing the warning from Mr. MIrs, Quaylte, of Delaware, that the 10I0 i all would show "no quorum," and eausa adjournment, with the first read ing bills not et leached Seeking a Quorum. Forty-seven votes In favor of tak ing the bill fiom the committee, and only eighteen against. Immediately Speaker Marshall ordered th doors locked, as the lules requlie, and the sergeant-at-aims proceeded to the fiont of the desk to receive his In stiuctlons to go out, airost and btlng In enough members to make a quoi am. This would mean that everybody with in the confines of the four walls of the room nt the time would have to stay theio until a quotum was sa eurert, and as most of the nbsont mem bers had taken trains for home It might bo late at night before the doors Lould be opened. There was only one way to escapo imprisonment, and that was by fore htalllng the "call of the house," which must be made to verify the apparent absence of a quorum. A call of the house would teveal that while there was no quorum, there were many mem beis present who did not vote, and ar, these members did not want to be exposed, It was agreed to adopt dilatory tactic, until 11 o'clock arrived. Half an hour was yet to be consumed and the cletks pioeeeded to consume it. Mr. Hllss moved to adjourn. Some of tho insurgents who wanted to show up the QuaIte.s, who lef rained ftom voting on the reform bill lesolutlon, and who were willing to be imprisoned for the remainder of the day to accom plish this purpose, talsed the point that the motion was out of order, but Speaker Mat shall promptly ruled that a motion to adjourn Is nlways In or det The ilftks ptoceedert with the roll call, but although they allowed several seconds to elapse between each name, they got through at ten minutes to eleven. Thn some one called for a vetlflcatlon of the roll. The reading deik, as Mowly as he consistently i ould, lead not only the names of the membera who hart voted, but nlso V enough who were not votlnsr or absent altogether, to moro than make up a quorum. Ho called tho laBt name juet nt 11 o'clock, and without waiting for tho announcement, Speaker Marshall brought down his gavel and declared, "Hleven o'clock having arrived, thU house stands adjourned." The spec tators wero particularly gratified. Only one bill was presented at the morning session, It camo from Mr. Mnloncy, of Venango, nnd provides for tlie caio of persons of aggravated In tempeiate habits In asylums. Remarks from the Oranges. Representatives Hill, Tiffany, Chain palu anil Oodchails presented a raft of memorials from fanners' granges in Susquehanna, Luzerne, Hradford, Tioga, Northumberland and Incoming counties against the new game bill, ex tending the seasons. Hills piovldlng for fiee telephones for poor dliectois; legulatlng mutual savings funds and building and loan associations, and regulating fraternal beneficiary organizations weie lecom mil ted. A thousand copies each of the four anthracite miners' bills weie oideied printed for free distribution by Mr. Ha worth, of Luzerne. As a result of the sensational episode of AVednesday night, a resolution wus udopted today, ut the Instance of Mr. Hall, of Allegheny, providing that a mace, the recognized symbol of the speaker's authority, be sccuied and mounted on a pedestal at the right of the speaker's desk, and that it bo ex posed at all times when the house is in session. The rules provide that the sergeant-at-arms shall 'Ipresent the mace" before attempting to exercise tho power delegated to him by the speaker to bring a member to obedi ence of the speaker's orders. Some of the memhcis took the resolution as a. Joke, but Mr. Hall assured them It was no Joke, but u matter of serious Im portance. Mr. Voorhees acquiesced In this, and expressed the opinion that If the mace had been presented to Mr. Hosaek, Wednesday night, he would not have made any further resistance to the spenker's order. Mr. Hosack shook his head afllrmatlvely when Mr. Voorhees looked over at him Inquir ingly An amendment to the constitution was proposed by Mr. Paul, of Phila delphia, in the form of a Joint resolu tion providing for petsonal registra tion. It Is precisely the same lesolu tlon as vetoed by Governor Stone two jears ago. Subsequently the Supreme court overruled the veto and Secre taty of the Commonwealth Oielst, under the provisions of the constitu tion, advertised the proposed amend ment. Should It again be adopted by the legislature the amendment will be submitted to tho people nt the next general election. The house adjourned till ! o'clock Tuesday night, to give the members nn opportunity of attending the In auguration. The Pennsylvania Hall road company has extended the court esy of a special train to convey the senatots, tepresentatlves and news, paper correspondents to and from Washington, and a prominent political! who is desltous of celelnatlng the Hipper victory has secured permis sion to have lemonade and F.indwlehes served en route. The ttaln will leave Harrisburg at 6:30 Monday morning and returning leave Washington at 7 o'clock p. m. T. J. Duffy. NEW SEMI-MONTHLY PAY BILL. Will Permit Mine Workers to Proceed ns a Body in Prosecutions. Special from a Slnfl Coriesponilent Harrlsbutg, Man.li 1. The new semi monthly pay law presented by Hepre bentatlve Phllbln is designed to ovet -come the constitutional defects which threaten to cause the present law to fall any time It Is taken befote the Su preme couit. It also ptovldes that the miners of any locality can by a majoi Ity vote call upon the mine Inspector of nny district to proceed against an operator who violates the law The main defect of the ptesent law is that it attempts to Intel fete with the right of conttact. This Is to be ovet come by the addition to the section making It unlaw ful to pay less than twice a month of a new clause lead ing, "Unless a written or printed con tract specifying otherwise Is entered Into between the employer nnrt em ploye." The penalty In tho present act Is $200 for each offense. The newr act pre scribes $r,0 for tho first offense; $200 for tho second offense, and $200 and not less than thirty days' imprisonment for each succeeding offense. Tho words "on ngrecment" are added to tho clause which reads "no assign ment of future wnges shall bo valid, etc., "which clauso is designed to bar another means by which the law can be evaded. Tho present law provides that it shall be the duty of tho factory In spector or his deputies to prosecute, violators of the law, and In case of their failure to do so, nny individual may bring suit. Tho now bill makes no mention of authorization of indi viduals to prosecute but instead makes It "tlie duty of the factory inspector, or nny one of lib deputies, tinder his direction, In the name of the common wealth," t-xcept In the ease of coal mines, where this duty shall devolve upon the mine Inspector of tlie dls ttlct, "upon jequest of a mnjorlty of the employes of the locality whole wages are withheld or postponed." This will make it possible for the Mine Workers' local unions to net In the matter in a body, where hereto fote it was neeessjiy for an individual to take the Initiative. T .1. Duffy.
