Pearl Button Bill praised by La Crosse editorial
The Tribune reprints a letter from David W. MacWillie of the National Association of Pearl Button Manufacturers praising the Esch-Dunbar bill to preserve and propagate fresh water mussels. He cites $200,000 yearly in damming payments along the Mississippi and a $50,000 annual payroll at the La Crosse factory. The editorial urges locating a main or substation at La Crosse and supports Esch's effort while noting Iowa interest in the station’s location. La Crosse would defer to Mr. Esch on location.
