Government payrolls show Illinois third in workers
An Illinois delegation led by Congressman Lowden pressed for an appropriation of 8100,0000 to study hog cholera as part of a census bureau bulletin on government employment. The report covers 184,874 federal workers with details on age, race, gender, tenure, and regional wages, noting New York leads and war veterans comprise over 8 percent. The Illinois Manufacturers' Association urged action on the Aldrich bill, while drug ads note Foley’s Honey and Tar as a cough cure.
