But the house defeated an amendment providing for Sunday ball In cities of 20,000, and as the church people are objecting vigorously, many members will probably take advantage of the awendmmt and change liielr vote Manager Watkins said today that he had but little hope of the bill going through.

There is a possibility of the bill bring 1,..- .‘<j ,**-provide for the election of superintendents by popular vote instead of by tShnshlp trustees*. The senate committee on education killed two bills today that were Intended to abolish the truancy law or place the power of office with the township trustees. The members of the committee figured that either of the bills would have greatly weakened the cofluiaory education laws, which have retulteo in a larger school attendance. One of the bills abolished the truant officer and the other provided that the powers of the truant officers should be vested tn the town ship trustees. The latter bill has the endorsement of the state grange. Organized labor has not by any means given tip its fight on the mer chants' garnishee bill, which was permitted to go to engrossment without I opposition. Edgar A. Perkins, presl- ’ dent of the State Federation of Labor, i said today that they are getting ready to fight the bill on the floor when it I comes up for passage. The merchants have a strong lobby, but it does not , look as if they are going io win out. |
