NESDAY, MARCH 12, 1913 NO MOVING PICTURES ON SUNDAY Bill to Permit Them Almost Unanimously Rejected by'Sen- ate—Both Houses Vote to Compel Railroad to Furnish Free Mileage—Small Towns Bury Bill For Repeal of Personal Tax—Workmen’s Compensation Hearing. | N Hartford, Conn, Merch 11.—The goneral assembly put in its most strenuous day so far this session to- day, and two matters were in effect aisposed of for good which at previous ssions occupied days of attention only to meet the same end, that of re- Jection. These matters were the per- somal tax which the house once again yefused to abolish, and the liberalls- ing of Sudday to the extent of permit- ting moving picture shows. Neo Sunday Moving Pictures. The latter bill, unfayorably reported, was practically unanimously rejected although many senators declared that moving picture exhibitions in their inion did not violate the Sunday; t they were a good recreative means for the masses who might do worse things on Sunday and they ‘wished to be recorded in behalf of their constituencies in favor of a more lib- eral interpretation of the Sunday laws. Accused of Violating Law. When, however, Senator McDonough declared that moving picture promots ers are not observing the laws, which bhe added were most excellent and Uberal ones, and that they were not entitled to the special privilege of giv- ing theatrical performances on Sun- day, the senate almost to 2 man swung to the support of the judiciary com- mittee and accepted the report and . yejected the bill. There are other bills of a like tenure but Mr. McDonough fold the senate that they would be re- rted unfavorably. There remain, jowever, bills which are intended to Iiberalize the Sunday for recreative sports and to permit the sale of the necessities of life on which reports are to be made. Small Towns Against Personal Tax Repeal. The house is expected to act in con- cert with the senate on the ‘m'ovies” bill and such exhibitions on Sunday will not be legalized this session. On the personal tax bill the small sown representatives against repeal buried the advocates of repeal by a vote of 161 to 47. Concurrent action in rejection of the bill is expected in the senate. “Free Mileage” Bill Passes. The legislative mileage question went one phase further, but according to popular opinion, no nearer the set- tlement of the matter to the extent of giving the members their mileage. Both branches passed the Peck bill providing that railroads shall give “free mileage.” The vote was 106 to 96 in.the house and 12 to 10 in the senate. This sends the bill to the gov- ernor. It is recalled that in debate last week Colonel Hall of Willington quoted the governor to the effect that his excellency would not approve of any bill which was contrary to the constitution, but at that time this was taken to mean that he would approve of no measure that requires expendi- ture of state money to equate mem- bers on their mileage. Passage Over Possible Veto Unlikely. The “free pass” bill amends the charters of common carriers and makes it compulsory for the railroads to provide transportation; members expected a veto on the groundg that there is a constitutional question in- volved. Ag the vote on the bill was very close in each body passage over a veto would appear to be doubtful. Governor Springs 2 Surprise. Governor Baldwin made a number of appointments subject to confirma- tion by the semate. The surprise was in the maming of John F. Addis of New Milford to be common pleas court judge in Litchfield county to succeed Judge Welch, who will retire for age.

There was a majority report signed by eleven of the twelve members of the committee on roads, bridges and rivers against the bill of Senator Mc- XNeil to repeal the $1,000,000 appropri- ation for development of New London harbor as a terminal for steamships received in the senate Tuesday. Sen- ator Peck, a member of the committee, but who did not attend the public hearing, presented a minority report. On motion of Senator Johnson, of Mantville, chairman of the commit- td® both reports were tabled for cal- endar ang printing. Workmen's Compensation Hearing. The committee hearings were well attended. That on workmen’s com- pensation saw the house chamber densely. packed with men, scme of them standing three deep in the spaces near the doors. Cornelius J. Danaher, who drafted the Federation of Labor bill replied to many of the claims made in behalf of the state commission bill and that of the em- Dployers. After he had concluded former Lieu- tenant Governor Blakeslee spoke in favor of the bill although disagreeing Wwith some parts of it. He maintained, however, that the real aim now should be to pass a compensation law, to make it the best possible, the best for the working man, the fairest for the emplover, but to be sure and make it S0 good that the man who needs com- pensation for injury or the family ben- efit will get what they need in the quickest and most economical way. Favored Single Commissioner. He inclined 4to the belief that one commissioner was better than three to administer the fund under the law. He said that state insurance depart- ment is handled by a sinzle commis- sioner with the best of results. He thought the federation’s bill the best thus fat presented. He urged that action be taken and if the law is not perfect it can be bettered by succeed- ing legislatures. He wanted a start made. Mr. Danaher called upon Herbert Knox Smith for his views. He said that the progressives were committed to the principle of compensation and so that they did not put in any bill or Tommit themselves in any bill in preference to another. He wanted a bill to bg passed, a_compensation bill, which Will not conflict with the con- stitution, but one: which would take out of court the adfustments of wrongs done to the emplove and which will be automatic in its remedies, prompt in giving the injured or the dependent his or their just benefits and will be compulsery upon.industry fo meet the Prize speaking contest will be held | Grange hall next week. | Hay at Auction. | A few from this town attended the auction in Turnerville Tuesday where seventy-five tons of hay were sold.
