Senate Kept Labor Holiday Bill On Third Reading
The Senate again kept the labor holiday act on third reading without a division. Attempts to move the first Monday in September date failed. A 30 day clause in the naturalization act of 1555 faced a failed strikeout. The House moved Eastham and Wellfleet boundary bill forward. Beverly division fate remains unsettled amid large petition drives in Essex county Lynn petitions reach 2638 signatures with over 10,000 legal voters inked.
