i H DAY OF REST 10 REPLAGE SABBATH MARTINS IDEA Senator From Morton Believes He Has Solution for Diffi- culties RECESS EXTENDS TIME FOR PUTTING IN BILLS Senator Martin of ‘Morton believes he has a solution for this perplexing Sabbath proposition in Senate Bill 261, which he introduced Saturday after- noon, providing merely one day of rest trom all labor in each seven, in lieu of all existing Sunday laws. The Martin bill would make it unlawful for any employer to cause his em- ployes to labor more than six days out of seven. By recessing until 1 o’clock Tues- day afternoon instead of adjourning Saturday, the senate and the house extended by one hour the time for the introduction of new bills, which under the constitution expires with the close of the fortieth legislative day, which began at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon. Another flood of bills may be expected at the eleventh hour. There was a rea] influx in both houses Saturday, although the senate, with only 37, was very temperate as compared with the house, which shot in more than a hun- dred, Sunday Shooting Bill. ‘The senate apparently went on rec- ord in favor of Sunday shooting Sat- urday, when it adopted, 22 to 18, 9 not voting, the majority report of the com- mittee on judiciary, recommending that Senator Lindstrom’s Bill 114 do pass. Other bills reported out of commit- ge were: Senate bills 163, 164, 129, 174, 189, 153, 188 and 165, and house bills 85 and 186. Consideration of senate bills 220, 201 and 168 was indefinitely postponed. The conference committee on House Bill 18 reported that after consulting the attorney general the house had decided to concur in the senate amend- ment. Senate ‘Bill 162 was transfer red from the committee on agricul- ture to the committee on state af- fairs House Bill $5, a concurrent resolu: tion for the consideration of the bud- get by the committes on appropria- tion of the house and senate in joint session was passed With an amend- ment by the senate providing, that final action not be taken in joint ses- | sion.
