Skirmish Over Referencing Bill To Judiciary Committee
In Indianapolis the temperance committee attempted to move the Nicholson local option bill to the judiciary panel, arguing unconstitutionality. Four members signed a minority report to keep it with the committee as about twenty representatives weighed in. The house temperance committee plans to report the bill back with a recommendation to pass, while a separate bid to seat the Miller Bowers contest contended failed. The senate passed a greenbacks taxation bill and Governor Matthews prompted a measure authorizing injunction suits against violators, targeting groups like the Columbian Athletic Club. An unusual scene occurred when Representative Howe explained a penalties bill for threats to strike or boycott nonunion employers, extending protections to nonunion workers. The Ways and Means chair presented a two year state tax levy with net reductions and fund transfers to meet state indebtedness.
