Labor Measures Die in Senate Amid Lobby Battle
Massachusetts mill operatives failed to win night labor restrictions for women and children as the Senate defeated the overtime bill and related measures. The labor committee, backed by unions, faced heavy lobbying from mill owners and railroad interests. Senate opponents argued the bill was too broad or burdensome, with votes 13 to 24 against third reading and 11 to 26 on textiles. Other measures on negligence, risk assumption, and local options were postponed or rejected amid continued opposition.

Roberts Pushes Yard-Built Ships Amendment In House
In Washington on May 19 the House passed the naval appropriation bill. An amendment by Mr. Roberts of Massachusetts would build three ships a battleship a cruiser and a gunboat in government yards while the others would be built privately. After debate and a ruling overruling a point of order the amendment was adopted. The eight hour work bill on government contracts and a national sanitarium for soldiers at Hot Springs were also advanced. Roberts argues a controlled test will show whether government or private yards cost less and whether Charlestown yard gains from the experiment.
