ASSEMBLY SPEEDS UP BUT HAS LONG PROGRAM AHEAD SACRAMENTO, Mar. 10.—Special Each house is speeding up in an effort to adjourn along about the first of April, but if experience is any criterion it will be nearer the first day. It is true they are disposing of numerous bills in both houses but in the main they are minor bills of a strictly local character over which there is little or no contest. There were stubborn contests in committee last week over several bills that have a statewide importance. One was the bill limiting the hours of labor of a domestic female servant to ten hours. This bill was reported out of the Labor and Capital Committee with a recommendation that it "do pass." If it does and the hired girl gets a 7 o'clock breakfast her employer will have to get the 6 o'clock dinner herself, go without or be liable to a fine of $250.00 and sixty days in jail if she permits the girl to get it. Or if the hired girl, altho living in the home is re-If an employee is fatally injured and has no dependents the employer must pay $500 into a "rehabilitation" fund for others injured, in addition to the present charges for burial, hospital bills, etc. If the man has insurance the insurance carrier must pay. How many seasonal or unattached transient laborers are insured? In addition another amendment reduces the waiting period to seven days. Majority Conservative The list of drastic and regulatory bills is long and if pressed will cause and determines opposition. There is one saving clause in the situation and that is a majority of both houses is apparently conservative, with both feet on the ground and not disposed to view with complacency anything radical. They will probably have an excellent opportunity to demonstrate their patience and determination. The governor's Efficiency Committee appointed to find some method of reducing expenses by consolidating the many state commissions, has not yet reported. Resolutions have been introduced calling for the appointment of committees to investigate the reasons for the high cost of necessary food and the members are trying to estimate the length of the ELKS WILL SALVATE Elks are backing Army to the limit members of the others throughout going to see that is supplied with its home service determination.

The opening gun in Santa Ana will day afternoon, Ma 10,000 Newsies Barred Another bill is that prohibiting a boy under 16 from working in many industries before 6 o'clock in the morning of after 9 o'clock in the evening. The most drastic amendment is that prohibiting boys under 14 from street occupations such as bootblacking or selling or delivering newspapers and periodicals. It is estimated that there are about 10,000 boys in the state selling and delivering certain periodicals and newspapers and whose earnings approximate $150,000 per month. A majority of these little fellows use this money for the purpose of buying their clothes and books and otherwise pay for their schooling while many others help support other members of the family. Their income will be cut off. Orchardists Aroused The bill prohibiting the use of machines in spraying paint and other materials had an inning before the joint committee of both houses on Public Health and Quarantine. This bill was introduced at the behest of a Painters Union in San Francisco with the intent of returning to the old hand brush days. This bill is so broad in its terms as to include the spraying of trees, plants, vines, etc. When the committees met there were dozens of opponents on hand to offer argument against the bill. These represented all lines of industry in which paint or materials to remove insects from orchards is used; from shipbuilding, gliding picture frames and gas fixtures, painting cars, enamelling auto bodies, to agricultural and horticultural spraying. When the proponent of the bill saw the array excellent opportunity to demonstrate their patience and determination. The governor's Efficiency Committee appointed to find some method of reducing expenses by consolidating the many state commissions, has not yet reported. Resolutions have been introduced calling for the appointment of committees to investigate the reasons for the high cost of necessary food and the members are trying to estimate the length of the probe. This reminds one of the fight against the State Market Director—but the list is already too long.
