CASHIERS CLAIM
As the Author of a Law is Mis-
leading.

II Mr.. Castnerls "owned by the t
trusts and corporations" as the
Democrats allege, he is avery poor I
servant, and ought 70 be fired ior
he is the gentleman who secured
the passage of the Kentucky law
THAT compels corporations to pay
their workmen in cash every two
weeks.
While a member of the Legisla'
| ture the Hon. William II, Cashier
originated and had passed the Dill
tina. makes corporations pay their
workmen every two weeks, and
| this alone will make him many
|friends, especially in the eastern
section of the dlstrict.-Puollc
Ledger.
lfMr.Castner has made oris max
ling any such claim as the above,
lone of two things is true-he either
does not know what he did do when
member OF the Legislature, or he
is claiming credit for something he
| is rot entitled to.
The credit for originating this
/ bill and having it passed was
claimed for Mr.. Cashier, il we mis-
take not, at the convention in this
I 4
city the day he was nominated,and
it is being taken up and heralded
through the district by Republican
papers and Republican workers.
They, as well as Castner, are either
ignorant of the facts in the case or
they are wilfully putting up a false
claim. Now the facts as to- this
law:
The last Legislature did pass a
law requiring certain corporations
to pay their employees twice a
month. TWAS House bill l35 and
was entitled "An act concerning
= the employees and servants in the
mining work or industry in this
Commonwealth This bill was
" introduced In the House ON Jan
AZ Ii, 1902, by Mr.. Bennett, of Ohio
County, and not by Mr.. Cashier o
the village OF Rush.
The bill became law on Marcl
DIST, 1902, aud is the only law en-
in acted on the subject by the las
to- Legislature.
700 The House Journal shows tha
Mr.. Cashier did introduce bill o
this subject, entitled "An act
r il regulate the payment OF wages /
ay. this Commonwealth" but he Intro
the duced it, as the House Journi
we shows, on Feb. 18th, 1902, over tw
weeks after Mr.. Benefits bill wa
introduced. Mr.. Cashiers bill wa
hat House bill No. $40 and so far rs "
and can learn from the record it wa
)ck. never heard from after it wa
you referred to the committee. Nj
Benefits bill had been before III
Legislature over two weeks, whe
Ice the Hon. William IL. Cashier a.
lect peared on the scene with his lit
on bill to bring the corporations
'ers time, so Mr.. Cashier is not eve
ess. entitled to the credit OF. origina
ing this legislation. 1t took hi
over two weeks to hear OF Mr.. Be
iles nett's measure on the subject al
Vi then Mr.. Cashier rushed his lit
'.ns ill into the House, and that's
are he ever did do.
~ We are willing to concede tn
~ Mr.. Cp-t:i1l may be resting und
the impression that the simple |
PRODUCTION OF his bill made it la
The fact that he never called
.ne bill from the committee won
" justify this supposition, but he
oil's entitled to the benefit OF the dou
ma under all the circumstances.
~ he is not resting under this
'a'es preston, then he is willfully t
pun ing to rob Mr.. Bennett of the or
it Of originating and having I
law passed.
NJ House bill No. $40 was the o
'iio'' one Mr., Cashier introduced in
WIN Legislature, and as we have sta
ishV' it was never heard from aft
MS wards. He never made sin
'ans' committee report, and never ha
'ne word to say in the House on {
pios Question, important or otherw
W so far as the record shows. In
ma tiative work in the Legislature
record is a blank.-Maysvillo l.
