Child Labor Clash as Beveridge Fights Lawyers in Senate
Senator Beveridge pressed the second installment of his child labor bill in a Senate session marked by sharp exchanges with lawyers led by Mr Spooner over constitutional questions. He disputed Georgia’s sixteenth statutory claims and noted permits for child labor under the act, while Sen Tillman urged state control and northern investment concerns influencing Southern mills. The debate, interrupted by requests for evidence, highlighted federal versus state powers ahead of a possible Supreme Court ruling.

Hanks and Harriman mystery grips Senate action
A Boston professor and Harriman ally Charles S. Hanks are at the center of a Senate inquiry into whether railroad rates can be cut by ten percent without harming dividends or wages. Senator Culberson pushed a resolution asking the Interstate Commerce Commission to confirm if Hanks is employed there and to reveal facts found by Hanna suggesting rate reductions without economic harm. The episode traces back to a Boston speech and a series of Washington meetings where Hanks and Harriman accessed commission records but failed to prove they could justify the proposed rate cuts.
