Washington Letter Reflects on Labor Voices and Land Grants
The Washington Letter argues Mr Hewitt’s Labor Committee should hear real workers and plan enterprise, not social ethics advocates, to address labor issues. It notes Interior Dept land grant policy opening millions of acres to preemption at $1.25 per acre and praises Marble’s role, with Kansas to Dakota seeing rapid land sales to small farmers. It mentions political tensions over habeas corpus cases in South Carolina, Eads’ Mississippi mouth project, and Cohen’s riots as tensions persist. The Tri-State Fair frames Ohio Indiana Michigan events, with fall racing at Toledo’s Fair Grounds.
