Washington Letter. Vetoes wool bill and labor woes
In a Washington letter by C H Tavernner the wool bill veto is used to shield the woolen trust while workers face starvation wages. Hearings on the Lawrence strike reveal nurse Miss Sanger describing starving children and dire cold in New York, with many missing medical care and no woolen clothing. Democratic House labor aid is highlighted, including the eight hour bill and anti injunction measures, plus tariff gradualism and concerns over overcapitalization and stock water.
