Cambridge breach of promise suit testifies in court
Miss Emma M. Brodeur testified in Cambridge that in 1916 she went to William P. Hale's Belmont home as a fiancée under promise to marry, describing revelant stay on a 100 acre island and alleged abuse. She admitted keeping letters from Hale to other women and argued over their ownership as the case refocuses on the breach of promise action and related bill to recover manuscripts.

Anti-Strike Bill Faces Reconsideration in Senate
In Washington, December 20, the anti-strike bill pushed through the Senate last week faced another push for debate via a reconsideration motion by Senator La Follette. Poindexter and Robinson weighed in on the process as Smoot and others urged allowing discussion. The vice president ruled the measure could still be debated after adjournment. Also noted were prices for Swift & Company carcass beef sold in Boston for the week ending December 18, ranging from 9.60 to 24.00 cents per pound with an average of 16.80 cents.
