Editor Washburn Times;

w
A few weeks ago | noticed letter
in the News, purporting to come from
Edw. Bryan, calling attention to the
record of Walter A. Duffy in the last
Legislature and praising him as a
friend of the laboring man. Evident
" Mr.. Bryan was entirely ignorant
as to what Mr.. Dufy's record really
was. Had he taken the trouble to
look up the record in the Assembly
Journal, or had he been a reader of
some of the Labor papers he would
not have been led into such ridiculous
errors.
The Milwaukee Leader, at the
close of the last session of the Legis-
lature called attention to the follow
ing facts. There were ten bills in
the interest of Labor voted upon in
the Assembly. Mr.. Duffy voted
against one of these bills, did not
vote at all upon six, and voted in
favor of only three out of ten.
The detailed record of the bills is
as follows.
For one day rest in seven bill.
Mr.. Duffy was absent when this
was voted upon.
2--For Crosby amendment fixing
Sc minimum weekly wage for women
workers. Mr.. Duffy was absent
when this was voted upon.
SO prevent employment of
children under Is in stone quarries.
Mr.. Duffy was absent when this
was voted upon.
4-For bill giving industrial COM
mission authority to regulate hours
and conditions of employment Of
domestic female workers. Mr.. Duffy
was absent when this bill was voted
upon.
5--For bill to abolish fees of pri-
vate employment agencies. Mr..
Duffy was absent when this bill was
voted upon.
6-For bill to compel hour day
in plants doing state printing. Mr..
Duffy voted for this bill.
Z For twice a month payment
bill Mr.. Duffy was absent when
this bill was voted on.
S-For 500 monthly minimum
wage for school teachers. = Mr.. Duffy
voted for this bill.
9-For establishment of legal in
formation bureaus. MIR. Duffy voted
AGAINST this bill and in the in
terest of employers.
10 For constitutional amendment
permitting state to establish grain
elevators and storage warehouses.
Mr.. Duffy voted for this bill.
1t thus appears that Mr.. Duffy was
only slightly interested in the well
fare of Labor, instead of the good
friend that Mr.. Bryan would have us
think. Mr.. Duffy makes the excuse
that he spent his salary during the
first part of the session and could not
afford to remain longer. What about
the Labor representatives from Mil
waukee and other cities who lose
their positions when they go to
Madison. and are compelled to sup
port their families on the same salary

crew of forty-three.
The steamer struck pier nt dam

every effort possible was made 20

were taken of in small boats they
were standing in water up to their
knees when rescued. The steamer
capsized and floated down stream
five miles before finally sinking

NO MORE LIGHT ON
THE PERSIA INCIDENT
CONSUL GARRELS CABLES THAT
AFFIDAVITS ADD
NOTHING NEW.
No Survivors From Whom an Affi-
dayit Was Secured Admitted
Seeing Submarine.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Consul
Garrels today cabled the state de-
partment from Alexandria that affi-
davits taken from survivors of the
Persia throw no more light on the
incident. This is taken TO indicate
that the state department must now
turn to Vienna or Berlin for fur
ther information. Carers said that
no submarine nor any boat were
seen by the survivors from whom
he had taken affidavits. The second
officer said, according to press dis
matches. he saw the wake of sub
marines periscope, was asked Tor
an affidavit. State department Of
ficials admitted that they believed
this officers affidavit was included
among those Garrels says throw
no further light on case.
This point was considered I'M
portant in view of Secretary Lans-
ing's reported assertion that so far
he does not take for granted the
assumption that the Persia was
summarized.
He frankly said his mind was
still open on the question as te
whether the Persia was sunk by q
sgbniarine or mine. Other state
department officials intimated tha'
the word of only one man, and tha'
an Englishman, that he saw the
wave of a submarines neriseof
would be small eyilcaec |eici
TO take for granted that 4 to' 9edS
sank the liner.
