LILLEY AND LABOR
Uis Record in Congress Gives lhe Lle 10 Literature Now
 Being Sent Out.

of the Labor" pamphlet which the Connecticut republican gubernatorial candidate. George l.. Lilley, through his campaign managers, is spreading broadcast through that state has just reached this city and glance at it and research of the congressional record show 1t to be filled with amaz- ing misrepresentations. It is beyond any doubt a deliberate and desperate effort to deceive the labor vote of the state and stands as a deadly proof of the candidates unreliability. Men here who are watching with the keen est interest the progress of the cam paign in their native state are amazed at the reckless disregard for the truth displayed by the Lilley managers.
 The pamphlet contains on it's title page a picture of Lilley and above it in big type are the words "Labor's Friend" It then goes on to recite certain legislation which Lilley is all legged to have voted for The abso- lute truth of the matter is that the Congressional Record (and this rec ord does not lie) reveals the fact that Lilley did not vote for much of the legislation he claims he did.
 If the voters of Connecticut are de- sirous of the unvarnished truth re- garding this pamphlet they will find 1t in the following revelations of the Congressional Record:
 : First-It is claimed MT Lilley vot- ed for the employers liability bill and for law making common carriers liable for accidents to their employees engaged in interstate commerce.
 These are one and the same bill. There are no two measures
 The Real Truth-Page 443S of the Congressional Record. 59th congress, first session, shows that Lilley was recorded as mot voting," when the roll was called on that bill.
 Second-The Congressional Record does show that Lilley voted for the railroad rate bill.
 Third-It is claimed Lilley voted for the meat inspection bill.
 The Real Truth-The Congression- al Record shows that that measure was an amendment to the agricultur- al appropriation bill. There was no roll call on the bill so Lilley cannot prove that he voted either for or against the meat inspection provision. Theer was no vote on any separate amendment except the seed distribu- tion amendment in the interest of the farmers On that amendment Mir Liiley yoted with those who opposed the amendment.
 Fourth-It is claimed Lilley voted for the model child labor law for the District of Columbia.
 The Real Truth-The Congression- al RecoYd records Lilley as mot vot- ing"
 Fifth-It is claimed that Lilley voted for the law limiting the hours of labor of employees engaged in rail- road train service, and of railway teelgraphers.
 The Real Truth-The Congression- al Record shows that that bill was passed February 23, 1907. It records Liiley as not voting.
 Sixth--It is claimed Lilley voted for law which provided compensa- tion for laborers and mechanics who may be injured in the service of the government and made provision for their families in the event of their being killed in the course of their employment.
 The Real Truth-The Congression- al Record shows that bill was passed May 16, 1908, but there was no roll call and MT Lilley cannot prove that he voted either for or against the bill.
 Besides the profound inaccuracies of Lilley's claims it is very signifi- cant that his close relation to the beef trust, being a wholesale dealer himself, he cannot prove by the Con- gressional Record that he voted for the meat inspection clause of the ag- ricultural bill
 It is also significant that he voted against the interests of the farmers in the free distribution of seed provision.
