Powerful ; Registration
Bill Is Discussed
Labor legislation which has
caused some of the most heated
arguments of the session, resulted
in a warm committee hearing yes
terday as an effort was made to
revive the labor registration bill
with amendments. The anti-labor
forcesi failed in an attempt -to
bring 'the bill from, the committee
Wednesday by a 30 to 30 vote, j
.Yesterday's meeting grew tor
rid as (labor supporters condemned
the measure and then turned
their attack to other assertedly
secret! groups, which they ! de
clared should be Investigated.
Representative Brady, Multno
mah, laborlte and chairman of the
committee,; assailed tne bill as
damnably vicious" because it re
quired a certificate of registry
that 'could be revoked. Discussion
will continue today at 9 a. m.
Secret Clubs Hit
Brady also attacked secret- or
ganizations and demanded that
they, as well as labor organiza
tions, be made to reveal their fl
nances. He talked of the Black
Shirts, Silver Shirts and the Man
tle club, branding the latter an
all-powerful secret organization
Brady said that if anyone tried
to find out what the Mantle club
was organized for he was told it
was none of his business.
"If a member gets inquisitive
about this : organization which is
supposed to be very large in Port
land, - that's insubordination and
cause for expulsion." said Brady
Paul Rotb, representative from
Multnomah, jumped to his feet to
shout, VI don't think the Mantle
club should "enter in-to-this," and
denied that he was a member.

Representatives Bull and Jones
declared that three per cent was
a reasonable rate of interest but
that the board ot control would
not force the commission to sell
better investments.
Overriding the opposition, the

Differences between S- jB. 415
and H. B. 472 which eventually
will probably need to be recon
ciled in conference arf: the
house bill makes the lowefed jage
immediately effective; the senate
bill in 1938. The house bill makes
the minimum pension ,330 a
monti; the senate bill makes that
the maximum. The houke bill
assesses the cost at one-slkthj for
counties, one-third for th$ state,
one-half for the federal government.-The
senate bill divides! the
corl one-fourth each to the coun
ties and the state and one-half to
the 1 federal government. The
house bill exempts a homestead
of $2000 for the pensioner from
the lien of the county f4r pen
sion payments; the senate com
mittee makes' no .exemption. Ihe
house bill allows pensions to go
to inmates of private Institutions;
the senate bill does not. The cost
under the house bill w4s esti
mated at $17,330,000; under the
senate bill $11,188,000. ) j
