STATE HOUSE GOSSIP 
ee Our Special Correspondent. ) | 
Another week of strenuous en- 
deavor in the Massachusetts Legisla- 
ture has passed into history. The 
legislation which attracted the most 
attention was the Bucket Shop bill 
and the Shoe Machinery bill. 
The Bucket Shop bill was signed by 
the governor on Wednesday, but does 
not go into effect until the expiration 
of thirty days from the date of the 
governor’s signature. It is not neces- 
sary to recall the disgraceful proceed- 
ings which attended the legislation on 
this bill last year. It is still fresh in 
the memory of the people. There 
were several attempts to tack on un- 
friendly amendments this year but 
they were promptly defeated! The 
bill was drafted by Rep. Higgins, one 
of the most popular members of the 
House, and was based on the recom- 
mendation contained in Gov. Guild’s 
address to the Legislature. 
The Shoe Machinery bill was passed 
to engrossment in the Senate on 
Tuesday by a vote of 19 to15. Five 
members of the Senate refused to 
vote either on a standing vote or by 
roll call. On Wednesday a motion 
was made by Sen. Cox to reconsider 
the engrossment, the intention being 
to amend by striking out the penalty 
clause. This motion was lost by a 
vote of 18 to 15. Four of the five 
senators who neglected to vote on 
Tuesday, again sat in silence as their. 
names were called by the clerk. Sen. 
Shaw, one of the five who did not 
vote on Tuesday, voted on Wednes- 
day for the reconsideration. 
One of the rules of the Senate re- 
quires that every member present at 
a roll call must vote. The president 
of the Senate did not enforce the rule, 
not considering it his place to take the 
initiative. No member of the Senate 
asked for the enforcement of this rule 
for the simple reason that neither the 
opponents or the friends of the bill 
knew on which side these silent sena- 
tors would vote if compelled to. 
The House has the bill now which 
comes up for the ordering to a third 
reading on Wednesday next. If the 
bill passes the House the Senate will 
have another opportunity to consider 
it when it is returned for enactment. 
It is thought that the bill will ul- 
timately pass the House although there 
are prospects of a hard fight. It is a 
close question and much can be said 
on both sides. There does not seem 
to be present the unreasonable preju- 
dice which is generally shown in fights 
of this kind. 
Some unfounded rumors found their 
way into the daily papers to the effect 
that the governor would veto the bill 
allowing the Fitchburg Railway Com- 
pany to purchase the Conway Rail- 
way. The governor, however, found 
after careful investigation that this bill 
was entirely consistent with his stand 
of last year and in accord with the 
policy of the Commonwealth in regard 
to railway mergers. 
The Spanish War Veterans bill 
which came up for reconsideration in 
the Senate was defeated by a vote of 
20 to 20.
