Union workers show strong support in a company referendum, with about 75 percent in favor and 25 percent opposed among returning ballots.

Welfare Laws Attacked by Interests Press Report Says
Albany March 22 A New York State League of Women Voters report to Governor Smith charges a financed, active combination backed by the Associated Manufacturers and Merchants and aided by Assembly Speaker Thaddeus C. Sweet interferes with open legislative action. The eight hour day minimum wage and health insurance bills are cited with names like Mark A. Daly, Carleton U. Babcock, and Frederick L. Hoffman linked to efforts, amid claims of a “regime of pseudo patriotic propaganda” and support from the New York League for Americanism. The document alleges substantial funds and organized influence manipulating public opinion through open tactics and paid operatives. The report labels Americanism as a sham and details connections to insurance interests and the so-called Providence Insurance company’s economic society.
