4 THE BEE: OMAHA, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 11, 1917. BITTER FIGHT OVER COMPENSATION BILL Senator Moriarty Proposes to Make Changes in Measure From House. CONSIDERATION GOES OVER (From a Staff Correspondent) Lincoln. Aoril 10. (Special.) The senate fought hard over the employes' liability amendment, House Roll No, 525, today, only to report progresi nnd ask leave to sit again. The bill takes Jerry Howard's orig inal house roll, charged on the floor a having been designed lor ammi lance chasing lawyers, and adds to it the orovisions of Senate Files Nos. ill and 220, the two compensation acts backed by the State Manufac turers' association and labor leaders. Amendments Proposed. Senator Moriarty led a bitter fight r.gainst the bill as amended, and was setting his own amendments, taken from the original Douglas county bill, adopted, when it was decided to con tinue the discussion at another time. Hoping to save the best features of the bill without getting it killed, the proponents accepted with little Strug lie the Moriarity amendments. In opening his fight Senator Mor iarity declared that the senate amend ments were inspired hy frank Lottey, H. E. Gooch, Frank Ringer, manu facturers and "ambulance chasing lia bility insurance companies." Labor, he said, was not represented . What They Provide. The Moriarity amendments agreed to provide for the filing of applica tions for compensation in the local district court, increased the compen sation to two-thirds of the salary (the present law of one-half had been in creased to 60 per cent by the manu facturers' and labor leaders' agree ment), and another was introduced to allow the injured man, no matter whether he elects to take under the law or not before injury, to bring a civil action for damages where the in juries result from lack of safety ap pliance. It is this issue that advocates of the amended bill say offered the oppor tunity for ambulance chasing, which the amended bill hopes to discourage.

Correapondent.) Lincoln, April 10. (Special.) To adjourn or not to adjourn; that is the question. Whether it is better to stop the clock and work on indefinitely or simply work until it is time to quit and then stop. This is what the pres ent legislature is considering and to day the house again refused to set a time tor final adjournment, and Speaker Jackson once again gave warning that there would be no stop ping of the clock and the illegal doing of business thereof. Another attempt was made in the house to lift out the Robertson bill for the sale of the state school lands, but it failed and the matter will prob ably stay dead from now on. Representative Schneider made a gallant attempt to place the fish and game department of the state on the same footing as that of other states, but the house would not see it that way. The bill called for placing fees collected from sportsmen's licenses back in the hands of the department. Mr. Schneider is partially recom pensed in the defeat of the Samuelson bill, which would raise the percent for which wages of workingmcn could be garnished from 10 to 25 per cent.

ANY a man is smoking a tobacco that does not eivc full satisfaction, just because he has never really tried to find one that does. If you have never tried Velvet you cer tainly owe yourself that pleasure. i A Free Prwrlptlon Ton Can Hare Tilled and lie at Home. Vict I mi of eye it rata and other eye weak nesuei and those who wear glaaaee, will be Klad to know that according- to Dr. Lewla thre li real hoye and help for them. Many whoae eyea were (ailing; aay they have had their eyes restored by this remarkable pre scription and many who once wore glasses say they have thrown them away. One man aays, after usfna; It: "I was almost blind. Could not see to read at all. Now I can read everything- without my glasses, and my eyes do not hurt any more. At night they would pain me dreadfully. Now they feel fine all the time. It waa like a miracle to me." A lady who used tt says: "The atmosphere seemed hasy with or with out glasses, but after using this prescription for fifteen days everything seems clear. I can read even fine print without glasses." Another who used it says: "I waa bothered with eye strain caused by overworked, tired eyes, which Induced fierce headaches. I have worn glasses for several years, both for distance and work, and without them I could not read my own name on an en velope or the typewriting on the machine before me. I can do both now and have dis carded my long distance glasses altogether. I can count the fluttering leaves on the trees acroKs the street now, which for sev eral yoara looked like a dim green blur to me. I cannot express my joy at what It has done for me." It In believed that thousands who wear glaHftfn can now discard them In a reason able time and multitude! more will be able to strengthen their eyes so ai to be spared the trouble and expense of ever getting glasses. Kye troubles of many descriptions may be wonderfully benefited by the use of thla prescription at borne. Go to any active drug store and get a bottle of Bon-Opto tablets.
