No shorter hours bill fails in Senate amid rail and ballot fights
The Senate defeated the labor hours bill for steam railroad workers 13 to 16. The House passed defenses of Boston appropriations and moved to preserve funds from improper transfers, while rejecting the single Australian ballot mark. A public auction bill for new railroad stock and a milk transport discrimination bill moved forward. Debates over the Bunker Hill Monument ownership revived calls for state control, with prominent figures arguing for public management while the association defends its longstanding charge.
