Statehood bill favored in senate report amid denial of sale rumor
The senate committee reported a favorable view on the statehood bill while Secretary Taft denied rumors he planned to sell the Philippines to Japan. In Washington the House considered a rule to exclude aliens from eight hour work in the canal zone, applying only to American labor. A Packers case postponement followed as conferences continue. An official answer accepted by the Philippine government confirmed a railroad syndicate bid by JG White & Co Vanderbilts for Gebu Bapay and Negros projects.
