Labor calm in legislature as bills advance and fail
In the Massachusetts legislature, a motion for an investigation of the State Highway Commission was withdrawn and a Saugus transportation bill tabled. The House defeated the hours of labor for women and minors bill while the Harvard overseer measure faced Senate debate without a vote. Various committee extensions, charter petitions, and railroad grade-crossing abolition plans occupied legislative time. Governor Wolcott signed bills and prepared for a Florence Italy celebration delegation as insurance and public charity issues loom.
