This announcement probably means that the amendment will be fought out on the floor of the louse.

Session Came to a Successful Close, Adjourning to Meet in Miami, (By Legislative Bureau.) Tallahassee, Fia., April 18.—The very biggest thing in Tallahassee I8 not the Legislature—it is the Elks’ convention, The banquet with which the convention was concluded, included a number of the best knowa greakers in the State, with Frank Winthrop presiding as, toast-master. The first speaker introduced was Dean Spencer, who has recently been appointed special agent to the Sem- inoles of Florida, and in his speech iast evening he referred to the Sem- fnoles as his special wards, and sald ttat he thought they would all make rood Klks. Dean Spencer takes up his work as Seminole agent in the very near future. The next speaker introduced was Fred T. Myers. There was some incidental refer- ence in his introducticn to the fact that Mr. Myers had been solicited to appear before the House committeo in the interests of telegraph come panies azainst the Stokes’ bill, whick has come to be known as the “‘men= tal anguish bill,” and Mr. Myers took occasion to refer in a facetious manner to this hearing which he was asked to attend, but which, as a matter of fact, he didn’'t make a® appearance at, and used the cudgel or sarcasm to lambast the Legisla- ture of Florida, which was evidently cnjoyed by many members of the Legislature who were present and Leard the speech.

This ndment ccmpels no one to ex- sively employ American labor or v living wages, but it simply com- 11s manufacturers to €itheg be hon- t with labor or pay an ivalent to the protective tarift they ask. If I':ngle gets his amendment and there is no question t that all the arzument is in its vor, it will have a wholesome effect discouraging the enormous immi- tration of cheap labor froin Enrope whieh increases year after year, and ~ most gerions menace to Amer- «n labor, It will be a strike preventative ! a strong incentive to industrial ce, for where living wages and ¢'nable hours is the rule, there little friction between marufac- rr and employe.
