Of the constant readers of THE TINES.
In the political notes in this paper, 2
few issues past. there appeared an
item in which the senator was given
credit for the introducing of the full
crew bill" He was also said to have
been instrumental in securing the pas
Sc ge of the sixteen hour bill.
1t seems that the two bills became
twisted and that it was the sixteen
hour bill that the senator introduces
and the full crew bill which he helped
to have passed.
The following is an excerpt from 4
letter which Senator Bowser wrote to
Fred c. Crumpacker on the subject:
I did introduce the sixteen hour
bill in the senate. I did this on
Feb s. 1907, and it was known as
senate bill 397. The records show
that the bill reached engrossment
on Feb. II, 1907. at my request.
Mr. Hotel introduced this bill in
the house. and IT was known as
house bill ST.. The house bill got
through the lower house first. and
I had it substituted for my own
bill to save time. and it became a
law on March S, 1907, and may be
found on page, 10, acts of 1907. I
