He said San Francisco's work- ing_people had been held down and robbed by the employment agencles, for rears past, and that it was high time ome relief should come to them. ‘Assemblyman Charles K. Kenneally strongly seconded Mr. Hoey, and, in the course of his speech he threw down a number of the pet schemes pursued by the agencles in milking their victims. Time and again, he said, his friends and acquaintances had seen signs placarded in front of the agencies announchfi that men were wanted on the farms in the ¥ had paid their fee for the job and gone to the places advertised they found o positions; and that they had been ‘hunkoed out of the little money they had. | _Others spoke to the g | valentine opposed it. ments providing that employment agents Should file bonds for the honest conduct of thelr business, but his amendments were voted down and the bill passed. GENERAL APPROPRIATION BILL IN THE SENATE SACRA- uestion, and only CALL HEADQUARTERS, mittee of the Senate finished its consid- eration of the general appropriation bill this evening and the measure was imme- diately reported to the Senate. It was | then taken up and before the adjourn- | ment of the night session the bill had been read the second time and the amend- ments had all been fought out. There was a very short attendance and that probably helped matters along, for the speakers had no reason to get beyond cold facts in thelr arguments. The consideration of the bill went along smoothiy until the sections .relating to then the same old fight over the falr ap- propriations was brought up. Smith moved to cut aut all that part of the bill which provided appropriations for each of the agricultural districts. Cur- tin opposed the amendment and declared the s and the Senate could not deprive them of State aid. he spoke in the same way. Braunhart supported the amendment because, he said, the fairs were no longer was intended they should be; the be exhibits of farm products, he reality they had degenerated to mere horseracing, and horseracing the Senator did 5 Leavitt wanted the appropriation left in | and Davis followed him with the same demand. The country. people wanted the fairs kept up, he said, and they expect- ed their representatives to see that they received proper_support. Nutt, Jones, | Luchsinger and Rowell also spoke against amendment and then Smith rose to th 1ot a “ranker swindle in world’ 1 these same district fairs, | The fairs are given way to conventio said, and, anyway, if a people wished port fair should to give'a fair the county government act allowed them to draw on their owna county treas he fairs are a dis- | grace to the aid Smith, “and it 1s a shame that the State will allow it- d by these institutions. £ to be swind ie amendment came to a vote and was hart raised another row over an ame ment allowing book-making well as pool-selling at the State Fair. It was explained that pool-selling was the old hod of betting and book-making was w the accepted method, and so snould go into the pill. The amendment was adopted. Then Bulla r aised another fuss by of- amendment striking out that ng pool-selling and book making at district fairs. Late as it w e Senators fought over the question and finally adopted.

Three times it survived an attack on its existence and finally, after an hour’s talk, it went over again until to-morrow Senator Dickinson opened matters by making the motion to postpone. Davi [ opposed the motion. He sald if the Sen- | ate wished to consider the measure it should do so, and if it did not the bill ould be killed right there.

This is made plain by personal expressions from a majority of the members of the Legislature to-day. The Assembly on Saturday passed a joint resolution providing for adjournment next Saturd The resolution is now before the Senate, but it will not be taken up for 1 consideration until Thursday. Those who are in a position to know say that the general appropriation bill and the county government bill cannot be prepared for passage by the Sen- ate during the present week, and because of this and for other reasons that have particular reference to the condition of the Senatorial contest it is gen- erally conceded that adjournment will have to be postponed until Wednesday or Thursday of next week.
