How O Neill Labor Bill Was Born in Congress

SPECIAL TO THE FOST WASHINGTON April 28 The House committee on labor investigated the Southwest troubles and revealed a clash between O Neill and Foran. O Neill drafted a compulsory arbitration bill with a lawyer and rushed it to a committee, while a subcommittee produced a substitute after scrutiny. The full committee backed the substitute, and the House passed the arbitration bill as the O Neill measure, though he did not write it. Enemies claim he sought Knight of Labor ties, foreshadowing a hotter feud with Foran.
