(MINERAL APPROPRIATION S
BILL CARRIES $32,497,406*
The general appropriations bill is on j
its way through the House, being re- '
ported out last night by Chairman |
Woodward. It carries a total of $32,- |
497,406, which is about $5,000,000
less than for the two preceding years :
and well within the revenues, according
to the way the Woodward committee
has figured it out.
If there are no after discovered big
items to tack on to the bill, it will call
fot less than any bill of a similar char
acter in. a number of years. The total
this year is hardly a fair comparison
with the sum of two years ago, which
carried with it funds for the State
Highway Department and for the tu- j
berculosis division of tlie State Health !
Department, all of which this year'will j
be cared for in separate bills.

APPROVES LONGER HOURS
FOR WOMEN HOTEL WORKERS
The House last'night passed finally
the Senate bill lengthening the hours
of labor for women in hotels, restau
-1 rants and boarding houses to 63 a
week, thereby practically exempting
that class of female labor from the
• women's working hours act which was
, passed in the last session of the Gen
■ eral Assembly. Mr. Maurer, the Soci
-1 alist member, from Berks, opposed the
passage of the bill.
The only new bit of highway to be
made part of the state system, through
, legislation at this session, despite th«
. fact tl»at hundreds of such bills were
, introduced or proposed, is a four-mile
, stretch in Adams county near Qettvs
! burg, a part of the road over which the
■ Southern army retreated after the bat-
I tie there. A bill providing for this
; stretch of state highway was passed in
the House last night.
A bill which would hold railroads
> responsible for fires which result from
s sparks from locomotives, was defeated
by a vote of 23 to- 104. The Swartz
i bill making the Public Service Commis
