Labor board split on injunctions and child labor limits
The special labor commission chaired by Fitchburg's own committee on employer employee relations reported unanimously on sweeping changes but could not agree on injunction and contempt rules in labor disputes. Sterling dissented on injunctions while endorsing most of the report, urging trial by jury rights and opposing court intervention in labor disputes. The body favored limiting child employment to ages above 14 and supporting longer schooling, plus recommendations on wage assignment abuses and wage earners' protections.

The document urges legislature to limit child labor to 16 and older in factories and related workplaces with required school certificates, restrict night work, cap weekly hours in mercantile settings, and establish a workers compensation scheme. It outlines sections on compensation, employer liability, death benefits, partial and total incapacity, and sets a framework for a new committee to review these bills.
Dissenting bill proposes lawful assembly to discuss grievances and price disputes
The draft measure by Mr. Osgood allows citizens to assemble in lawful places and times to discuss grievances against others, to peacefully persuade others to act, and to inform others about price disagreements over services or commodities, while remaining within lawful limits.
