sion will be what is known as the Bel

This measure is designed to operate

Il am very confident" said Senator
Bracket. that the publicity bill will
become law. The bill is the same in
purpose as the measure which | intro
duced at the last session and which
passed the senate, but failed of pas
sage in the assembly.
1T compels the publication of con
tributions and expenditures by cam
paign committees ana prohibits corpo-
rations contributing TO campaign com
mlttees, organizations or candidates. /
regard the provisions referring to cor
porations as of the greatest Importance.
Last year | had a separate bill to
the same effect but it received scant
courtesy in the legislature.
"Wageworkers are showing an active
interest in the publicity bill and are
adopting resolutions in their unions
and central bodies urging the legisla
ture TO enact the bill into a law. They
have been moved to adopt such resolu-
lions because their members believe
that publicity of campaign contribu-
tions and expenses will check corrup-
ton and dishonest Influences at cleo
tions.
Wage earners have also been
prompted to interest themselves in the
publicity bill movement by the written
Endorsement the bill has received from
such labor leaders as Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
of Labor, and Edward A. Bates, sec
rotary OF the New York State Work
ingmen's federation. Assemblyman
Palmer will introduce the bill in the
assembly,"
