The rrnate held a brief extcutve stsslon
, ' this afternoon just before adjournment on
the nllpolntment at J. W. WIlson to be com-
mamlanl or the Solllers' llama at Grand
Island. This appoIntment v.as sent to the
senate more than two weeks ago by Goverhor
Holcomb and was referred 10 1 special com-
milee of helm , Akers Dack , Sloan and
Slewart There has been much speculation L
Os to the reason for the unusual delay of
* the senile In reaching 1 tomlderton oC the
appointment. I has , In Cact. been occaioned I
by a demand on the part at Colonel Scovie , S
the Ilrtsent coul1andant , for nn InvestigatIon
oC certain nleel charts male against him
by the popUlIst newspaper at Grand Island S
Governor Holcolh has tn no wise elllorsed
the charges made against Scovie , but the
senate has innd them a pretext for hangIng
mn. hanrlng
up ' 'iIsaii's appointment. 'hls afernoon I
the cOlmlt1ee 11rcsente,1 , a majority and ( a 1
mInority repnrt. 'he majority report , which I
was sIgned by Senators Hahn. Alters and
Sloan , rtterrCI the appointment back to Ihl
senate wtthout ( rocoll1enlatou , , but : slwd
that the name of Wison for the place he
. referred In turn back to the committee for
, 1. further cohsltleratioii. The majority report
also adds thnt It was the purpose at the ,
senate commitee on Soldiers' Home 10 go to
Grall Ilall Ihls evening for the purpose of
Investgatug the charges against Scavllle , .
The minority report signed by Senators ;
. * , , flack and Stewart took ] the ground that the
' special conllltte had nothing to do with any :
' charges against ScovIlle. I could only consider -
alder Wilson's fitness for the plce . and t I r
his appointment was a worthy ono.1 should
T promptly report In favor of Immediate con
fmrmation. The mInority recommended the
confirmation oC CoidnelVIlson . but otto r
considerable discussion at a desultory nature
the majority report 'giving the commllco
more"tme was adopted by a vote or 23 to In I
Senator Black being the only republcan

to revise the code. His bill provides ' ( or the
commission to sit two Years and make its

FIT FOn TIE LABOR DILL.
The debate ct the lay ensued over house m
roll No. 183. the bill of Jennes to protect
employes ) and guarantee theIr rIght to btlong
to labor organizations. Speaker Ichards opposed :
posed the measure. lie said It was legisla-
ton against the right of one man to dls-
charge another. Darry spoke warmly In Itt 3
favor , as did Jenness and Hcletl. The motion -
ton to Indefinitely postpone the bill WIS
male by Dncon of Dawson Durch took the
ground that the bill prevented an employer
from discharging an eniploye but Johnston
or : Douglas showed lp the talacy of this argument -
gument In good shape. lo said that every
free cItizen had a rIght to belong to any
lawful organization In the state or In the
United States. ! cNlt made the point ( ha t
all employts were engaged for a certain
length OC tinie. and at the expiration oC that
limit they could bo discharged without cause
Cole opposed the bill on the ground that tt I
would widen the breach between capital and l
lecher. Howard cited the fact that the bi [ I
prevented an employer from asking an apphi -
appl-
cant for work If he belonged to a labor or , -
ganizaton , or forcIng him , or her. to sign :
a paper to the erect that he , or she , would
not join one. Davis showed that bankers
combIned . railroads pooled , and printers or . -
ganized and he did not believe that any em-
ploye should bo debarred from cmnlovment
-
because he 'was a member of a union. .nH
held that the bill was a just one and should ?
be recommended to pass. Davies made an
eloquent speech , and * , 'as warmly applauded.
Burns of Lancaster said ho Would go as
far as any man In behalf of labor , and then
made a big speech against the measure Intro-
duced by the laboring elemeat. Benedict
twitted members of having talked on the
stump last November ot the "dear laboring
man , " and when the first bill was introduced
In their favor voting agaInst it .
The motIon to Indefinitely postpone the bill
was lost by close .
a vote. An attempt was
then made by Burns , Hchards ! and McNit
to kill the bill by amendments and riders
but the small majority of two teed firm and
they were all voted down. The ; long fight was
over and on motion the committee recommended -
mended that the bill pass.
House roll No. 199 , by Allan , was recommitted -
miled to the committee on railroads.
House roll No. 11 , by Suter , providing for
transfer switches on railways crossing at ,
grade was recommitted . House roll No. no : ,
by Harry , for the establishment , maIntenance
and management of district school libraries ,
was favorably reported by the committee .
Barry made a set speech on his measure and
drew Illustrations from the results of similar
laws In other states. Cramb moved that the
bill be indefinitely postponed and Barry gave
It a life by an amendment that It be gve '
mended to pass. '
Thomas moved that the bill bo recom-
mitted. Barry added an amendment that the
bill do not lose Its place on general file , which
was carried.
The committee of the whole then rose ,
reported , and the report was aloptcd. ,
