In the Boston Senate the Labor day bill faced a heated clash as Hartwell’s substitute was rejected 18 to 12. A rule forced adjournment at 4:45 pm, but a motion to suspend led to a confrontation between Senators Shea Glines and O Sullivan. The scene spilled to the coat room with sharp exchanges and a defended stand on parliamentary rules.
