IS HE PROGRESSIVE?

Mills was the recognized champion Of labor
legislation, having fathered IL bills Endorsed by
the State Federation of Labor, and fighting hard
for many others Of general benefit to the people.
Away back in 1893, Mills voted for the right of
women to vote.
In the Legislature he helped secure the fol-
lowing laws:
sests employees sanitary eondL
prohibiting discrimination
employers against protect
In aboers In lumber woods against time check sharks;
uatng agencies; establishing free employ
sbeshno pssses franks; Increasing
sleeping freight line
companies dseoursana
ard dspubls lobby work: punshlns the Illegal os OF
purity the baos la
Of railroads. reducing tho legal rate Of
reducing the Of Interest
publishing applications for fsnhises
protecting against combinations
You can plainly from the above record
why the standpatten don't want Mills elected
He's not progressive enough" for them. THEY
MEAN HE'S TOO PROGRESSIVE.
The Seattle star. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1899-1947, 1914-10-12

DROBABLY the most humorous phase OF the
I present campaign is the frantic effort of the
standpat organs to defeat Edgar c. Mills, the in
dependent candidate for supreme court judge.
And what Is the argument employed by the stand
patters? It's really very funny.
The .tandpatters are claiming Mills is not pro-
sressive.
In other words, the standpatters would have
you believe Mills is a standpatter. If Mills is a
standpatter, then why the standpat papers
against him?
The truth Is that Mills served in the lesisla-
ture of Wisconsin both in the lower house and in
the senate, and at the end of his terms received
the hearty endorsement, both of Bob LaFolette,
then governor, and of the Wisconsin State Fed
Grafton Of Labor.
LaFolette issued statement in which he rec
commended Mills for reelection, saying Mills was
entitled to il on his record in the legislature.

WELLS ON Elonr.nouR LAW

Editor The Star: II is a surpris-
Ing thing to me that newspapers OF
even doubtful reputation for We
racity win make the remarkable
misstatements contained In the at
tacks now being made upon the pro-
posed eight-hour law by two news
papers of this city.
II Is rather hard to imagine that
a newspaper would care 10 publish
such n palpable Misrepresentation
as that contained in the morning
paper OF a recent date. and endorsed
by Mayor GIL.
Mr.. Gin is a lawyer. Has he been
misquoted. or has he not read the
elghthour initiative measure?
A repeated attempt has been made
TO create an impression that II the
eight-hour bill passes 1t will necessi-
tate additional nurses. firemen and
other city employees. Not until the
morning paper article, however. had
any legal authority been quoted, and
am inclined to believe that the
mayor is not familiar with his sub.
ject
Now, the truth OF the matter is,
that the proposed law has ABSO-
LUTELY NO APPLICATION TO
ANY CITY. COUNTY OR STATE
EMPLOYE.
The law makes the working OF EN-.
ployes more than AS hours per week,
with certain exceptions. unlawful
for any person. corporation, com
pany or Joint stock association"
After the law is passed city en-.
ployes might be worked l6 hours a
day, II not prevented by other legis
lation.
The eight-hour law will be passed
by the state TO regulate private bus
mess. There can be no supposition
that II applies TO the state itself
unless that were expressly stated In
the law. HULET NJ. WELLS.
