Farmers and cowmen urge legislators to oppose Taylor full crew bill
Members of the State Legislature will receive letters from farmers and cowmen urging a vote against the Taylor full crew bill in its present form. At a Cattlemen’s Exchange meeting this week railroad men and cattle shippers warned the measure would raise costs and burden traffic. Nat Parks, Joseph Jackson, and W N Waddell discussed mobilizing state wide opposition to the bill. First reading has passed in the House and unions back the measure, which would require extra crew on trains and could add about one million dollars in railroad expenses statewide.
