a hard light by Dlmlck to cut
the amount down to $ ir0.00U and by
Joneph to place It ut 1:100. Out), the
Senate this evening panned a hill
appropriating :'00.l00 for Oregon's ex

Dlmlck and Joneph voted iiRiilnt
the measure, the later declaring he
wanted to dlnclulm any credit at

Thn bill aa panned places most of
the -rcHpoiiHthility lor spending the
money on (iovernor West. ' Some ob
jection was raised to thin by two
Democratic nenatora, but no cbaiigi)
was made.
For the purpose oT amending tho
bill, the Senate went Into a commit
tee of the whole and Dlmlck offered
nn amendment to cut tho amount to
$:?Tj,0tM. Thin amount nlso failed
and a few moments after Dlmick'a
ainendmt tit wan killed the bill ap
propriating $200,000 as the commit

In the Hoiisi) the "llltieaky" went
through thla afternoon by a large
majority. The entire Cliickumns del

ways the aamo bill that was defeat

A resolution was offered In the
House tonight to extend the session
for an extra week In order to get
through with the great mass of bus
iness now before both houses.
The general Impression seems t)
be that the Senate will not attempt
to enforce Its resolution to accept no
House bills after midnight tonight.
All the big appropriation bills re yet
to come up jn the House on third
reading and the Senate will have to
take rare of them.

$728,000 IS APPROPRIATED BY
THE HOUSE FOR TWO
COLLEGES
SCHUEBEL TRIES TO CUT SUMMER BILL
Dlmick'a Eight-Hour Bill Reported
by Committee and, Deipita
Fight, la Poitpon
ed 8AI.F.M. Feb. 17. (Special.) Ap
propriationa aggregating $728,000 for
the two big state universities were
punned in the House today, with a
few members opposing each one. The
test of the appropriations came on
Schuehel'a attempt to cut from $:I0,
ouu to $:'0.000 the bill providing for
Hummer school and extension work
at the 1'nlveralty of Oregon. This
failed and the recommendations of
the Wava and .Means Committee went
through without a hitch on all the
rent. The bill providing for a uni
form system of public accounting
was panned by a bare majority, after
the dtitlea of providing tbia system
hud been transferred from the should
ers of the Secretary of State to the
Tax Commission.
Schuebel also opposed this. TtJO
House adopted a resolution submit
ting to thu people a constitutional
amendment to have county officers
terms lengthened to four years. A
clause prohibiting an olllcial from
serving more thun eight out of twelve
consecutive years was stricken out 1
before the resolution was adopted. 1
It Is predicted by those in a posi
tion to know that the session will
hold over an extra week. The reso
lution for a lengthened session will
undoubtedly be adopted by the House
by a good majority, but the Senate is
doubtful.
Although the Senate by resolution
loday confirmed Its previous declar
ation that It would accept no more
House bllla, this Is not taken serious
ly by most of the representatives.
It is also said that one reason for
tho Legislators holding over an ex
tra week la to take care of any ve
toes the Governor might have to sub
mit. An .underground current of ill
feeling exists in the House aguinst
"Steam Roller" methods, and It Is
not considered unlikely that an "out
break" will occur within a few days.
Cliurges of the "Organlitation mem
bera having some of their own bills
reported out of the committees first
have already been made on the floor
of the House. An attempt to break
the back bone of the "Organization"
will probnbly be made on a resolu
tion Biibmitted Saturday by Eaton of
Kugcnu. Thla resolution, intended to
facilitate handling appropriation bills
was' sidetracked in the committee
and considerable feeliug has been
manifested by this method.
' Senator Dlmick's eight-hour bill
enlne out. of the Industries Commit
tee today with three reports, and was
Indefinitely postponed. Although some
fight was made on this bill, it was
generally recognized that Bince the-
passage of the ten-hour bill It would
substitute Itself for the eight-hour
hill.
Day, Kiddle and Wood, with the
majority report, recommended that
the bill do not pass; Smith wanted to
amend It and allow double time for
overtime, and Dlmlck recommended
that th bill pans as it stood. Exact
ly the iame lineup as on the ten-hour
bill. The bill whs postponed by a
largo majority. The hardest fight of
the day in the Senate occurred on the
three reports of the three members
of the special committee to Inrestl
ante the Oregon Naval Militia. Sen
ator Dlmlck, In accordance with his
bill, recommended that the Naval
Militia be kept but be taken out of
the hands of the officers of the Ore
gon National Guards. Dlmick's fight
waa perhaps the hottest of all. He
scored the Institution as a useless
and wasteful burden on the taxpay
ers, and made a bard but futile at
tempt to have his report substituted
for the others. The final vote killed
hla report and adopted Carson s.
Militia be abolished; Senator Carson
completely "whitewashed" It, recom
mending that It stand aa it no'w Is,
and Joseph, in accordance with his
bill, recommended that the Naval
twenty-one to nine.
Joseph then moved to Indefinitely
postpone the Dlmlck bill to abolish
the Naval Militia. This was done by
a little larger vote, although Joseph's
bill to take the Naval Militia out or
the hands of the National Guard was
also practically beaten by the same
vote. Dlmlck said he would not re
taliate by moving the Indefinite post
ponement of that.

W. A. DIMICK MAKES GREAT FIGHT
Action Puta an End for at LeaatYear
of Biggeet Battle for
Mill Work
era SALKM, Feb 18. (Special.) In
spite of vigorous protests of Senator
Dlmlck, the Senate today amended
the ten-hour bill so that It will al
low three Instead of two hours over
time a day, for which time and a half
Instead of double time must be paid.
The bill passed the Sena'a In this
condition and will go to the. House
for that body to concur In the amend
ment Inanmucb as the supporters of
thn bill realize thla Is the best they
could do there is little doubt but the
House will concur. The bill will then
go to the Governor for bis signature
and no opposition is expected from
that source.
Strenuous lobby work hy the paper
mill men has been done since the
Schuebel ten hour bill came out of
the committee last week on three re
porta. At that time the report ac
cepted was by Chairman Smith, of
the Industries Committee recommend
ing that two hours overtime be allow
ed each day for which double time
should he paid. Falling to have the
hill adopted in Ita original form Sen
ator Dlmlck at that time supported,
the Smith amendment and was instru
mental In having the report adopted
with nineteen voles in its favor.
Today the bill came up for Tiaal
passage. Joseph moved to go Into
committee of the whole for the pur
pose of amending the bill. Diniick
declared this was only an attempt on
the part of the Portland man to kill
the measure, and strenuously oppos
ed the motion. He was overridden,
however, and Joseph's motion to
change from double time to time and
a half, and from two to three hours
was carried.
It was explained that this latter
change would, in the case of the Ore
gon City paper mills, 'ony have the
effect of allowing an eleven and a
thirteen hour shift instead of two
shifts of twelve hours ench, on the
grounds that this was an arrangement
between employer and emplovee.
On final roll call seventeen senators
voted In favor of the bill as amended
Nlnetei n had favored It on the adop
tion of the Smith report but Carson
switched to the other side and Per
kins was absent, leaving seventeen
in favo- of tho bill.
If signed by the Governor this act
will take effect in May of this year.
This practically marks an end for this
season at least, of the ten-hour Ssht.
For every session In the past eight
years some bills of this sort have been
before the Legislature, but In every
instance have failed. The burden of
the fighting this year has been In the
Senate. No great opposition was of
fered In the House when the Schuebel
bill was passed, and the amendments
In the Senate are regarded as the best
compromise obtainable.
The eight-hour bill of Dlmick's has
been defeated in the Senate and to
day's action probably marks an end
of the matter for this session.
Senator Dimlck was today respon
slble -for the defeat of a House bill
creating the Board of Public Accoun
tancy and providing for certified pub
lic accountants. This had been de
feated In the House, reconsidered and
passed. Dimlck opposed It on the
grounds that it was Intended to form
a monopoly in the auditing business.
The expected break In the House
organization came late Monday night
when Eaton of Eugene flayed Olson
and T'pton. members of the the organ
ization, for "steam roller' work In
connection with one of his resolu
tlons, and was shown again this morn
ing when the House. In spite of the
recommendations of the Public Lands
Committee, refused to Indefinitely
postpone Representative Gill's bill to
repeal the Thompson swamp land
act. This latter act was passed over
the vet of the Governor early in the
session. The Governor and Gill short
ly afterward introduced a bill to re
peal the law. Once before the Gov
ernor sent in a messase "Jollying"
the-memories of the members of the
bill. Yesterdny he sent In another
w hen the committee report was read.
Hy a vote of 29 to 28 the House re
fused to postpone the bill. The mem
bers stood practically the same as
In the Eaton fight the night before.
The entire Clackamas County delega
tion hung together against the ".Ma
chine." The House went Into Its nignt ses
sion this evening with the intention
of clearing ita own calendar before ad
journment. It will probably be In
session until early In the morning.
Sometime during the night session
the fight over the state printer Is

ing asking the government to with
draw the national forests of Lewis

ity of the Representatives from the

TEN-HOUR BILL
IS NEAR DEFEAT
MEASURE CALLED BACK IN SEN
ATE AND HARD FIGHT MADE
AGAINST IT
ACT HAD BEEN SIGNED BY WEST
Dimlck and Schuebel Play Shrewd
Game in Protecting Measure
Farrell Loses Stub
born Battle
SALEM, Feb. 19. (Special) In
an endeavor to whip Senator Dimlck
Into line on' a bill opposed by the
organization members of that body
today all But called back and defeat
ed the Schuebel ten-hour bllL On the
final vote on the motion of Senator
FarrelJ to recall the measure from
the House and-"reconsider" it Dim-
ick won out by 15 to 14. Rising to
explaiu his vote, Dimlck declared
Farrel had said that Farrell s veto
dt the ten-hour bill cost him $o0,000
for the paper mills 'and they would
take their business away from him.
Farrell Is a Portland commission
man. He has been making a hard
fight to defeat the Carkin bill which
would put commission houses under
the Public Vtilities Commission. Sen
ator Diniick declared it was an en
deavor to gain his opposition to the
Carkin bill that Farrell had tried to
recall the icn-hour bill. This after
noon Farrell moved that the vote on
the ten-hour bill be reconsidered.
His and one more vote would have
killed it. The motion was carried by
a bare majority, and Dlmick was de
feated in the first round. It was then
discovered that the bill had gone to
the House for that body to concur in
.the Senate amendment and the vote
on reconsideration was declared In
valid. Then Farrell moved to have
the bill recalled from the House 1
This motion was not debatable, only
wlen his name was called could
Diniick get in a word. Then he rose
and made the sensational charge that
rarrell bad declared his vote on the
ten-hour bill had cost him $50,000 in
business from the paper mills. In
the last minute, Joseph, usually an
enemy of Dimlck on the floor, chang
ed his vote to no and the bill was
left to go its course.
Governor West, however, has now-
signed the bill. Getting wind of the
fact that the Senate was trying to
recall the measure, Schuebel took the
bill to the Governor and It was sign
ed even before the final vote on t-e
recall had been announced. In casi
the Senate vote had carried It would
have been Invalid, for the two Ore
gon City men, working together, had
been playing a successful game oflat,"nei' ext '"cb a. case-
hide and seek with the bill. Had
Senator Fatrell discovered that the
bill had been taken from the House
to the Goveror'a office it would have
required a separate motion to recall
it from there even if the chief execu
tive had signed it. The Senate
might have recalled it from the Sec
retary of State's office, but the bill's
opponents did not know where it was
and the bill is now safe, signed by the
Governor, and no doubt will remain.!
Put It will go into effect with the pro
vision for time and a half for all
over ten hours a day.
