Several house members, under the leadership of Rep. Charles Ra-mey, Ra-mey, Salt Lake county, declared they would initiate a sitdown strike and seek supreme court injunction in-junction should the senate attempt at-tempt to stop the clock and work beyond the constitutional limit. A similar move was made this week in Montana. Ramey charged that the senate wanted to stop the lock and work beyond the 60-day limit in an effort to clean up appropriations appropria-tions bills and important issues which have not yet received final action. If legislators continue beyond the limit, they work without pay. Ramey made his announcement coincident with a report from the investigating and appropriations committees that their findings vrould not be ready until late Monday Mon-day or early Tuesday. This would dump into the laps of the legislature the important findings of both committees, with the apparent impossibility of getting get-ting through the maze of legislation legisla-tion then presented before the end of next week at the earliest. Reports of the investigating committee especially will present stumbling blocks to the session. Coming in the form of bills recommending recom-mending any changes the committee commit-tee has found necessary, it is evident evi-dent that much discussion will arise when the measures are introduced. in-troduced. Also formidable is the pending report of the appropriations committee com-mittee which, since presentation of the budget, "has een working in an effort to make appropriations from the none-too-large fund at hand and the money to be received in revenues. With an old age pension bill still up in the air, and homestead exemption slated to reach the upper up-per house for final action by possibly pos-sibly Tuesday of next week, the session in reality faces the most important issues of the entire period. per-iod. Further impossibility of early adjournment, despite the fact that Senate President Herbert Maw said the group would be able to return to their homes after midnight mid-night Thursday, was seen in the fact that final action on the investigating in-vestigating committee report alone would ordinarily take up the better part of a week. Members of the house who are supporting Ramey in his unique move to end the session on time, said they would not permit the senate to work through the limit. They base their objections on the ground that such procedure is entirely unconstitutional and would work a hardship upon members mem-bers of the legislature who have private affairs to attend to. Ramey's plan of action, he said, is to secure an injunction from the supreme court of Utah dissolving dis-solving the session on constitutional constitu-tional grounds should it attempt to work overtime.

Utah, Mar. 6 (U.H) Sen. Ward C. Holbrook today to-day moved that the senate and house appoint a joint six-man committee to investigate the practicability prac-ticability of holding a convention tor revision of the state constitution. consti-tution. His motion passed the senate unanimously. Holbrook said the state should revise the constitution because of numerous amendments which were being: inserted. "The document now," he declared, de-clared, "is literally in shreds. So many amendments tb it have been passed that it is difficult use." There are in the present session 17 amendments to the constitution, constitu-tion, some of which have been passed. One passed today calls for selection of a non-partisan judiciary. Another proposed amendment would raise the pay of legislators. Holbrook said the cost of printing print-ing and binding the amendments to the constitution was almost prohibitive, and that a .state convention con-vention would be less expensive and would bring the document entirely up to date. The committees were to be appointed ap-pointed late tocftiy to investigate the proposal. Doubt was expressed, however, as to whether a convention could be called at the present time.

Sheldon Brewster Brew-ster (Salt Lake) will make the amendments." Taken By Surprise The house had no notice previously prev-iously that the bill was coming in for discussion, and was taken by surprise. A roar of dissension went up from the belligerent minority which has been fighting the bill in favor of Governor Henry Blood's measure. Demands were bellowed across the room as to "how the bill got here." Representative Moses Holbrook, Salt Lake, arose and demanded, "How did this biU come out?
