From a Staff Correspondent. Lincoln, Feb. 8. The Nebraska .louse of representatives, meeting to day in violation of all legislative traditions to take things easy early in the session, did not get enough in the morning but continued over un til late.in the afternoon. J he lower branch put in nearly the entire morning on two measures, H. R. 90, which provides for a tax on nogs to reimburse 6wners of live stock and poultry killed by canines and one raising' the pay of county and local assessors. Raise Pay of Assessors. Along with the assessors' pay bill, there was an amendment by the committee on fees and salaries, mak- - ing the remuneration of local assess ors $4 per day instead of ?5 as car- , ried in the original measure. The law now fixes the compensation at $.. The bill carries an increase of $100 ; per year in the pay of salaries of county assessors; In this form both measures re ceived the approval of" the house committee of tbx. whole at the af ternoon session. A pages' strike at the house end ed with two new boys employed in ; that capacity." When the house members' appeared this morning, Chairman Axtell of the committee on employes announced he had cm ployed Wilmer Elwards and Robert Moore, both of Lincoln. The boys were hired with the definite under standing that the -pay was to be . $2.06 per day, six days in the week, whether the house met or not. Any thing less did not provide a living wage, Mr. Axtell said. Bills Reported Out. The committee "bn fee,s and sal '; aries reported these bills out today with the recommendation they pass: II. R. No. 246 Increase of $100 a year in the pay of county superin tendents. S. F No. 76 Increase for city of , ficials and employes in cities of from 5,000 to 25,000 population. ' Although the judiciary commit 'tee decided yesterday afternoon to report the soldiers' preference law for indefinite postponement, Chair ' man Fults announced today he was holding it back at the request of the introducer, Representative Full- er. The bill in its present form is very drastic, requiring public offi cials to appoint soldiers instead of civilians to all places at their dis posal, giving them the right to sue for damages if they are not ap pointed and also to bring mandamus notion. Fuller is willing to have it changed. The judiciary committee has like wise consigned three labor union bills to the graveyard. They are: 11. R. 183 Forbidding cities, in dividuals or corporations from mak ing contracts not to employ union labor. - ' H. R. 182 Exempting labor un ions from the Junkin anti-trust act. H.
