Washington City Briefs On Canteen Vote And Immigration
Washington reports a 167 to 46 House vote against reestablishing the canteen in national soldiers homes after a two hour debate. George F Gridley of Providence unfurled a flag and spoke on temperance from the gallery, then was removed. Senator Foraker cited a letter he says shows the president’s view on Brownsville and the 25th Infantry. Senator Smith did not reveal the letter but urged public release. The Senate also passed the Gallinger bill regulating child labor in the District of Columbia, with Doliver noting it targets DC only and lacks constitutional objections tied to a national law.
