Wolcetts Vote Against Labor

A bill limiting the hours Of daily SER
vice Of laborers and mechanics en-
ployed upon public works Of, or work
done for the United States, or any ter
ritory, or the District Of Columbia, was
introduced by Representative Gardiner
Of New Jersey in the Fifty-sixth Con-
gress, and passed the House on May
u, 1900 and went to the Senate, where,
on June 6, 1900, 1t was defeated. The
vote against the eight-hour bill in the
Senate was 40 Republicans and Dem
ocrat, for the bill % Democrats and s
Republicans. Senator Wolcott voted
against the bill and Senator Teller for
the bill.
On the same day, and in the same
time, and by precisely the same identI-
cal vote, the Senate defeated House
Bill No. $3.50. that had already passed
the House, an act to limit the effect
of the regulation of Interstate COM
merce between the several states In
goods, wares or merchandise, wholly or
In part, manufactured by convict labor
or In any prison or reformatory, 80 that
each state could prevent the bringing
in Of prison-made goods and wares
from another state, where convict la
competition with honest and free Ia
Dor.
True to his instinct and record as the
enemy Of labor and the state Of Colo
rado, and against the protest Of the en-.
tire state and labor organizations, Sen
ator Wolcott voted to and did help kill
the bill, while Henry NJ. Teller stood
by the people of Colorado and labor or
ganizations. as he has always done,
and voted for the passage Of the. bill.
1t Is incomprehensible how any
friend Of Colorado, or any friend of the
laboring masses can bring themselves
to the support Of Mr.. Wolcott, or vote
for any candidate upon the Republican
ticket for the Legislature, since 1t is a
well-known and undisputed fact that
they, and each of them, are pledged
and under obligations to support VOL
