Labor Commission Falls.
Absentees caused tho temporary de
feat of tho bill providing for ihe ap
pointment of a labor commissioner
nnd tho organization of a bureau of a-
bor in the 'house yesterday afternoon,
and It gave the democrats a temporary
victory. The bill received 30 votes,
and with one more would have passed.
Back of the defeat of the bill, back
of It all, there Is a story of a political
scheme skillfully engineered, and
which succeeded for a brief time. G.
Y. Harry, president of the State Feder
ation of Labor, wanted to be labor
commissioner of Oregon, and under his
direction's bill was frnmed, and intro
duced in the house.
This bill provided that the labor
commissioner should be G. Y. Harry.
Who should receive a salary of $2400
a year nnd should be allowed mot to
exceed $10,000 per annum for expenses
of the bureau.

SENATORS OPPOSE WISH OF THE PEOPLE
Twenty-nine States Have Declared for Ejection ot Senators
Direct Vote.
by
Washington, Feb. 13. Twenty-nine
of the 45 states have declared through
their legislatures for the election ol
ernators by direct vote of the people
Some of these states have gone fnr
enough to ask for n constitutional
convention in that particular. Should
30 states apply under the constitution
that is, two-thirds of the states
congress would have to provide a con
stitutional convention. But the appli
cations would have all to be made at
once, according to the present under
standing. Those states which have a3ked that
a constitutional Amendment be sub
mitted for the election of senators by
popular vote are: Arkansas, Califor
nia, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Lou
isiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missis
sippi, Montana, xNobrnska, Nevada
New Hampshire, North Carolina.
North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsyl
vania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah.
Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
It is almost impossible to say what
senators have failed to carry out the
wishes of iheir states In this regard,
because there has never been n vote
direct or Indirect, upon this subject.
Many efforts have beer, made to obtain
a voto.iut all have proved futile. The
proposition has been made to dis
charge the committee on privileges
and elections and refer tho considera
tion of the subject, but some way It
1 as been p.issed over without a vote
The commiitee on privileges and elec
tions has once or twice reported the
resolution adversely, because a major
ity of the committee was against It.
and it has been called up for discus
sion in the cenate, but nover has there
been a vote upon tho proposition to
kI.ow how the senators stand.
They Dodge a Vote.
As with all other matter upon
which a majority of the senute does
not wish a record vote, the majority
has boon busy to prevent such a vote
being taken, knowing that It could
not pass. It wns easy to displace this
subject before the senato legislation,
it it once sot before the senate as the
unfinished business, but the resolu
tion has never got to that point yet,
nnd it is doubtful whether It will ever
he voted upon dliectly.
Many senators are perfectly willing
tn exnress their opinion on tho sub-
joct, but there are quite a number who
are very pronounced In their views,
such as Hoar, Dopew, Pettus and
others, who are strongly opposed to
(he resolution, while Burrows, Bev
erldge, Blackburn and some others are
In favor of it. TJhese men are mem
ber's of the committee on ptivileges
and elections, which has the matter In
charge.
During the last session a resolution
was discussed In the committee, and
it would have been reported favorably,
but Depew tacked on an amendment
which provided that, in case the reso
lution should be ratified, it should pro
vide for an inquiry into all methods
of election in every state, as to
whether voters were denied the privi
lege of voting. This, of course, turn
ed all the Southern men against the
resolution. They were willing to vote
out V straight proposition from tho
committee, but tho republican majori
ty voted the Depew amendment on,
and then the senators who were op
rosed to tho election by direct vote
and those who were opposed to the De
pew amendment prevented the reso
lution fiom being reported. The mat
lei was discussed some time In the
cennie and then dropped.
Mitchell's Vain Efforts.
According to tho present outlook,
unless tho personnel of the senate
rliould change very materially there
i!i no possibility of tho passage of the
lesolutinn providing for the election
of senators by direct vote.
When Senator Mitchell was chair
man of the committee on privileges
and elections he made every .effort to
secure a direct vote upon this resolu
tion. After his defeat for re-election
and his return to the senato he refused
a placo on this committee, although
ho hnc) been a member of It nearly all
the time he had been in the senate,
because he was known to be favorable
tp tho election of senators by dime,
veto and had advocated it several
times in tho senato. The committee
as now constituted would favor the
lesolutlon if it was in a proposition by
Itself, but the tangle which the Do
pow amendment has placed It will al
ways make It difficult to pass such a
resolution.
