Senator Sutherland Heads Elections Committee Report
Washington Senator Sutherland of Utah assumed charge of the elections committee report on the Stephenson case in the Senate due to Senator Hayburn’s absence as he travels to Atlanta City for a month amid a serious illness. The National Civic Federation held its twelfth annual convention in Washington to discuss Industrial Peace and Progress over three days. Guns and boys from Lawrence testified before the House committee about conditions after the city’s strikes, noting long hours and low pay plus five cents weekly paid to the American Woolen Co for canal water. President Taft launched a drive to involve business leaders with the government for legal advice, statutes, and commerce development.
