Labor Asks Little of Legislature and Receives Less
Topeka March 19 Labor asked little of the 1925 legislature and received less. Few labor bills passed or were pursued. the Japanese exclusion bill limited land ownership by aliens but did not curb farm hiring. Labor proposals mostly died in committees, with a workmen compensation bill passing the senate but dying in the house, and old age pension schemes rejected. The federal child labor amendment was not ratified. Three railroad measures were sought. one, the crossing whistle bill, passed the senate but altered rules, while others failed to gain enactment. Continuous opposition from lawmakers and safety concerns framed the session’s outcome.
