by a Battle RoyaL
Dolly IDxpruun Amtio Burrnu.
AUSTIN. Tex., Aug. 23.—After under-
f goiiim a completo change by the adop-
tion of three amendments, the cotton
"spider" bill was passed In the House
late this afternoon by a unanimous vote.
Its passage followed ou the heels of
some confusion regarding ,i number of
amendments, and Its coniildorat!:>n was
marked by a battlo royal orally oetween
thi two Galveston County roprosenta-
tlvoB, \lr. .Vloller, the author of tho bill,
iinn Mr. Johnson, who endeavored to
bubstltute an entirely different bill of
his own fur the Moller bill, 'l'he Moller
bill finally was voted on, but It? pro-
visions had been decidedly changed arid
In some respects conformed to the John-
, son bill.
PROVISIONS OF TUB lill.U
Every employer, Including cortlpruss,
railroad or other oommon carrier, wharf
company, stevedore, steamship company,
Is made liable for personal Injury dam-
ages when caught with a "spidered" tx\lo
of cotton which has Injured a workman
In such employer's employ The lan-
guage of the bill recites, "any person,
firm or corporation receiving, storing,
loading for transportation or transport-
ing" bales of cotton shall bo liable for
damages to any employe for injuries in-
flicted by protruding bands ends or "spi-
der*."
By another amendment the {5A00 ap-
propriation for the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, and the provision that by civil
suit the compress responsible for a de-
fectively bound bale shall forfeit !o the
state any sum from to J2FA were
stricken out, These features were fa-
vored by tho Joint labor legislative board.
By further amendment the bill as passed
prescribes that the burden of Inspect-
ing the bales shall rest upon the em-
ployer and In no wj»i> upon tho employe,
thus eliminating tlw rule that has ob-
tained heretofore by which the screwman
or laborer handling the bales assumes
when he takes his Job certain risks.
The bill passed by u vote of 34 ayes,
both Mr. Moller and Air. Johnson voting
for It. It Is known that Mr. Moller Is by
no means pleased with the measure, and
hopes that It may be changed, particu-
larly as to the appropriation provision
in the Sonata.
In the forenoon the House passed the
car-shed bill, requiring railroads to con-
struct suitable protection for car repair-
ers in stations where five or more such
workmen are employed. The Senate per
diem and contingent appropriation bills
also were passed. The per diem bill
passed unamended carrying a $50,000 ap-
propriation, but the contingent expense
appropriation was increased from $10,000
to $15,COO and passed.
NINETY-SEVEN ANSWER TO CALL-
Ninety-seven members answered to roll
call when the House convened at 10
o'clock this morning, and Speaker Mar-
shall felicitated the body on mustering
a quorum. He suggested that all frivol-
ous amendments and funny resolutions
be deferred until the last day of this ses-
sion.
The State Treasurer and Comptroller
were called on to give to the House an

viding that no motion for the main ques-
tion on any subject shall be In order

PER DIEM BILL IS PASSED.
The Senate per diem appropriation bill,
appropriating $50,000, was passed, the
House refusing to adopt an amendment
by the House Appropriation Committee,
proposing to reduce the appropriation to
$35,000.
Tho Senate contingent expense bill, ap-
propriating $10,00 to defray expenses of
this session of the Legislature, was

An amendment by Messrs. Crawford and
Terrell of Bexar to the original order
for printing 150 pamphlets daily giving
in installments the testimony taken in
the penitentiary investigation, providing
for printing 200 such pamphlets in order
(hat the Senate shall be provided with
the same testimony, was adopted,
Mr. Ray, chairman of a subcommittee
of the Printing Committee, In charge of
the printing of tills testimony, Informed
the House that the first installment
should reach the Legislature within the
next two days.
The carshed bill by Messrs. Stephenson,
Byrne and others, amended so as not to

provisions of the bill, was passed under
suspension of the rules, by a vote of
89 to 1,
Tho Moller "spider" bill was taken up,
and read In full on request of Mr, Terrell
of Bexar.
"SPIDER" BILL IS OFFERED.
Mr. Johnson offered his old "spider"
bill, which was passed by the House in
the regular session, but which died on
the Senate calendar, as an amendment-
substitute for the Moller bill. The sub-
stitute provides Wiat employers of lafcor
at all ports shall inspect all compressed
cotton bales on wharves or other placcs,
before delivering the bales to workmen
for storing or screwing in holes of vessels
and thai if any bale be found defectively
bound, it shall be recompressed at the
expense of the shipper or owner In the
port For personal Injuries sustained
through negligence the employers—the
steamship company, wharf company or
stevedore, shall bo liable for damages,
and the compress originally at fault is
made responsible to the steamship com-
pany, etc. The venue of suits Is not fixed.
Speaking In support of his amendment,
which completely changes the bill by his
colleague, Mr. Johnson read a resolution
adopted by the Screwmans Benevolent
Association what is cjilled "the Johnson
endorsing what is called "the Johnson
bill" as against the Moller bill. That as-
sociation, Air, Johnson said, represents
about 2000 white voters of Galveston
County, and In 1908 paid out of its treas-
ury more than $10,000 to help injured
screwmen, and support widows and or-
phans, duo mainly to injuries inflicted by
protruding bands or "spiders" on com-
pressed cotton bales. He said the forfeit
feature of the Moller bill, providing that
the guilty compress shall, under civil
suit, pay to the State a forfeit of not
less than $50 nor more than $250 for each
defectively bound bale, will not afford
relief to tha Injured screwman or the
destitute widow and orphan.
In reply to a question from Mr. von
Rosenberg, Mr. Johnson said the hales
must be Inspected by the steamship
agents for density, and inspection for
"spiders could be made at the same
time an4 at no additional expense.
With Mr. Johnson holding the floor
the House recessed at 12:13 o'clock until
2 o'clock p, m.
JOHNSON OPPOSES APPROPRIATION.
Mr. Johnson opposed the feature of the
Moller bill appropriating $.ri00li out of tne
general revenue of the State for the Bureau
of Labor Statistics and the enforcement
of the act. He said the tax-payer should
not be burdened with this expense when
It is the duty of some one else to stand
such expense.
Mr Brownlee offered a substitute for the
Johnson amendment, making persons,
firms or corporations receiving for stor-
age, loading for transportation or trans-
porting compressed cotton bales liable for
personal Injury damages.
Mr. Moller acepred this amendment as
author of the original bill. He said Mr.
Johnson hail been requested by thirty-
five men representing one labor "organiza-
tion numbering about 2000 workmen, to
Introduce the Johnson bill, while he
tMolleri had been requested by the joint
legislative board, representing several bun-
did thousand workmen, to Introduce his
bill. II" said a few profeslonal agitators
am! some damage suit lawyers of Gni-
veston Instigated th# movement crystall-
ized in the Johnson amendment.
RAPID HANDLING NECESSARY.
Mr. Moller sought to show that It would
he Impracticable to have the same men
who Inspect bales of cotton on the wharves
for density to inspect at the same time
Dally Express Austin Btircnil.
AUSTIN, Tex , Aug. 211—Among three
bills Introduced In the House today Is
a measure by Mr. Munson which pro-
poses to authorize and require the State
Government to pay out of revenues de-
rived from tile penitentiary system to
each county In which State farms are
located an amount of money annually
equal to what the taxes on the State's
land would be and mean to tho 'VUIltjed
were such property owned by tax-pay-
ing citizens, The object of the bill,
Mr, Munson says, is to relieve counties
containing State Farms of an undue bur-
den, through loss of taxes, In contributing
to the support of the State penal sys-
tem.
Iri arriving nt the amount to tho paid
to the particular counties out of the
penitentiary's revenues, only the land Is
considered, as proposed In the bill The
buildings and other improvements on
tho land owned by the State aro not
taken Into consideration. Tho money
to bo paid by the State to a certain
county Is to be charged as an expense
Item against the State farm or farms in
that county.
The bill would require the payment
by the State of county taxes from the
time the farms were purchased by the
State, up to and including the year 1910.
It provides that officials of the peniten-
tarles shall assess the State convict farm
land tc> the County Assessor each year,
as required of other owners of land. The
emergency clause is attached to the bill
Mr. Johnson introduced a "spider" bill
providing that employers of labor at
all Texas ports shall inspect all corn-
pressed cotton bales on wharves or plat-
forms before such bales are loaded into
vessels, for the purpose of preventing
injuries by "spiders" or protruding band
ends to the screwmen. The employers,
lucluding steamship companies, steve-
dores and mJiarf companies, are made
responsible and liable for personal in-
Jury d.atnages In the courts, and the
compress at fault is made liable in turn
to tho labor employers. When a defec-
tively bound bale of cotton is found, it
is made the duty of the employer to
have such a bale rebound at the expense
of the shipper. The venue of suits is
not fixed. Under this bill the screwmen
injured in Galveston many bring suit for
damages in Galveston against his em-
ployer, and the employer may bring suit
against the compress In the home coun-
ty of the compress.
A bill by Mr. McKlnney asks an appro-
priation of $400 to pay for the hire of
one clerk for the Commissioner of Pen-
sions until January 31, 1911.
These bills are numbers 11, 12 and 13,
severally.
"CARSHED BILL" IS CONSIDERED
Senate Committee Takes Up Proposed
Measure.
Dully Express Austin bureau,
AUSTIN, Tex., Aug. 23.—Consideration
of the "carshed bill" was commenced
this afternoon by Senate Committee on
internal Improvments. Following testi-
mony by P. T. Dunlop, mechanical su-
perintendent of the Gulf, Colorado &
Santa Fe, and W.'G, Van Vleek, general
superintendent of the Sunset lines, the
meeting adjourned until 8 o'clock p. m.
The Southern Pacific has the following
ear repairers here, who, it is said, will
testify that they are satisfied with pres-
ent conditions: J. D. Freeman, P. C. Paul,
J. R. Pitman, J. C. Dewe.
To testify to the same effect the Gulf,
Colorado & Santa Fe has here the follow-
ing car renairers at that, time: L. It.
Sands, A. E. Woods, W. J, Schlunnis, J.
T. Bum, B. C. Vickers,
Messrs. Dunlop and Van Vleck testified
to the additional cost their roads would
be put to In complying with the provisions
of the proposed carshed bill, after hav-
ing fulfilled the provisions | of the "car-
shed1' bill of the regular session of this
Legislature. They contend that car re-
pairers are satisfied with present condi-
tions, that there have been no com-
plaints, and that tho "carshed" bill passed
at the regular session met all the de-
mands of the labor Interests, and that
there Is now no necessity for further leg-
islation along this line.

for "spiders." He toM of the rapid and
wholesale manner in wbleu hales are Imp-
died in Galveston, which Is necessary, he
said, because about 25,00(1 bales are
handled n day. About :ion carloads of com-
pressed bales reach Galveston daily, he
said, aud it would be necessary to have
an Inspector at every car door while un-
loading Is going on. The mischief should
be prevented where the cost is the least,
he argued. He called the Johnson amend-
ment "a snake In the grass."
An amendment „wus offered by Messrs.
Stratton and Cra.vford providing that the
burden of inspection of compressed cot-
ton bales shall be on the employer aud
not ou the employe.
Mr. Johnson attempted to have the bill
recommitted to the committee, making a
motion to that effect. lie said the House
was in a muddle aver the amendments.
Mr. Moller moved to table the motion
to recommit.
Mr, Crawford spoke against the motion
to recommit, contending favorable action
on the Johnson motion would mean the
death of the bill, as It would be some
days before the bill could be reported out
of the committee.
The House refused to table the motion
to recommit, but on the direct question
refused to recommit the bill, 40 to 17.
During consideration of this bill the
Judiciary Committee, numbering about
thirty members, was excused to conduct
a hearing on the railroad bill.
HOUSE LOOKS DESERTED.
Shortly after 4 o'clock the House pre-
sented a deserted appearance. There
were perhaps fifty Representatives in
their seats.
Mr Kennedy raised a point of order no
quorum was considering the bill, and he
protested against a handful of members
acting on a matter of such general im-
portance. He called It nn "outrage," and
reminded the Speaker the last it'll call-
in the forenoon—showed about ninety
members present,, since which time the
Judiciary Committee was excused,
quorum is eighty-nine. He asked that his
point of order be printed In the record.
Speaker Marshall held the point or
order not well taken and said it is within
his province to "correct" the journal
and would rule out the point of order, in-
asmuch as the last roll call showed
quorum present,
"But the Speaker knows," eaid Mr.
Kennedy, "that there is no quorum here
now."
Mr Nickels moved that the Kennedy
point of order be printed in the journal
and an aye and no vote was called for.
This roll call was demanded to show as
a matter of record that no quorum was
present.
The Judiciary Committee was notified
that floeir presence was needed to make
a quorirm and the hearing wan hroker, up.
The Speaker then receded from his
ruling that the point of order could not
be printed in the journal
Eventually ti e two sld«s agreed on the
pending amendments and they were
adopted and the bill was engro«.~ed.
An amendment by Mr Bailenger cut-
ting out the $5000 apropriatlon feature
was adopted, practically killing the bill
and so ainerded the measure was passed.
At 6 o'clock p m. the House adjourned
until 9:30 tomorrow morning.

Order Prohibiting "Advancing Charges"
to Shippers on Shipments on Intra-

and Cancelled.
Daily Express Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN, Tex., Aug. 23.-The Railroad
Commission today adopted three amend-
ments to the reduced rate cotton tariff
effective August 1. The first amended
exception adopted reads: "Houston and
Galveston. The rate between Houston
and Galveston and between those points
intermediate, shall be: On compressed
cotton 6 cents and on uncompressed cot-
ton 8 cents per 100 pounds."
The second amended exception reads:
"Houston, Velasco and Texas City. Tho
rate between Houston and Velasco and
between Houston and T^xas City shall
bo; On compressed cotton 6 cents and
on uncompressed cotton 8 cents per lOf
pounds." , ,
Section 2 of the tariff was amended to

In bales, shall be 75 per cent of the rates
on uncompressed cotton, but 'abroad

tion of the cost of compression, in <lc-
termining rates on cotton llnters dispose

one-half; drop all fractions less than one-
lialf These rates shall cover and include
all switching, loading and unloading and
other terminal transportation charges to
the wharves at Texas ports on all cotton
llnters destined to any such whart;..
The Railroad Commission In accoi dance
with the Attorney Generals recent
opinion today withdrew and cancelled its
order prohibiting "advancing charges
to shippers on shipments on Intrastate
business. The order of the commission
"in viewo°fWan opinion delivered by the
Attorney General of
of August 1, 1910, in which it is held, as
said ruling is interpreted by this com-
mission, that the practice of railroad
companies of "advancing charges o
shippers on shipments between points n
this Slate, is not in violation of law; said
opinion being as follows: „.u\nu
"There is no statute in this State which
prohibits in express terms a railroad
company from advancing charge*
private shippers. Under the general
terms of subdivision 1 of ^QrKtlcl V/hink
the Revised Statutes of 1S95, we think
that it would be necessary for the rail-
road companies to extend the priviletie of
advancing charges to all shippers at every
point within this State covering every
character of commodities. Otherwise it
would result in such undue and unreason-
able advantage to the favored shipper
as to make the transaction an unjust
discrimination within the moaning ol the
above quoted statute.
"Under the present state of our laws,
if the railroad companies extended this
privilege to all shippers alike, and so
notified the public, we cannot say that
it would violate any statute ol this
State."
it Is now hereby ordered by the Rail-
road Commission of Texas that circular
No 3301, issued by said commission under
date of January 19, 1910, and ordering the
discontinuance of such practice by jail-
road companies operating in this State,
be and the same is, hereby withdrawn
and cancelled.
This order will not have the effect of
revoking the special order of this com-
mission, issued under date of October 4,
1909 by which special authorities thereto-
fore granted to Texas lines were can-
celled.

The "More" Than Criminal
The man wild allows his time and
talents to slip away, deliberately
steals from his family and those who
should he dependent upon him. And
because the stealing can be clothed in
nice phrases, such .as "Hard limes,
"Lack of Opportunity," "Competi-
tion" and "High Cost, of Living"
does not lessen the offense one iota,
does not lessen the pain of the loved
ones, does not add one drop of oil to
ease the friction of life.
Better start an account now and
save up the profits of your expended
time and talents.
