Hale Lashes Senate Over Speech Fatigue and Fortifications
In a tense Senate session Mr Hale censured lengthy speeches from Beveridge and others as too time consuming, warning that only twenty seven working days remained in the session. Beveridge concluded a three part speech on child labor, arguing Congress power over interstate commerce is absolute, while others interrupted and debated the constitutional basis and the significance for budgets and fortifications. The fortifications bill passed, carrying 204 706 dollars with a Hawaii addition and a total near 3.09 million dollars for defense spending.
