La Toilette and Cummins.
United States Senators Robert NJ.
La Toilette of Wisconsin and Albert
b. CumminS of Iowa. both Republicans,
have furnished the sensation of the
campaign by joining in the general
bombardmcnt of Candidate Hughes. In
no uncertain terms, Senator LA Fol
lettc denounces the Hughes charge that
the eight hour law for railway train
men was a "force bill.' In a signed
statement Senator CummiIrs has ex-
posed the utter falseness and partisan
unfairness of the recent republican at.
tacks upon the child labor law.
In La Follettc's Magazine for Oc-
tober the Wisconsin senator charges
that millions of dollars were expended
by the railroads, during the pendency
of their negotiations with the train
men, in an effort to influence public
sentiment against the demands of their
trainmen for an eight-hour day.
'Thesc millions did not come from
the profits of the railhoad managers
La Toilette. "They came from the
funds of the treasures of the rail
roads. This campaign was conducted
with money that really belonged to
the people,
"This cighthou law has been called
a force BILL enacted under the de-
mands of organized railroad train
Ten,' continues Senator La Toilette
"This is not true. Congress, 1isintrr
estcd, under law bound 10 consider
only the public good, was forced TO act
in the public's interest, 1t was not
forced to act because of any demands
upon congress by the workingmen OF
by the railroads, but because the pub
lie interest demanded immediate ac-
tion.
Congress acted. It passed what is
known as the eight,hour law for men
in the employment of railroads in
interstate commerce, engaged in NOV.
ing trains. Every Wisconsin repre-
sentative present voted for the bill,
which became law and averted the
strike. | believe they did right"
Senator Cummins riddles the prepos-
ferrous claims of both Mr. Hughes and
his campaign managers and declares
the child labor law as enacted by con
gress and signed by President Wilson
is certain to "cffcctuate the humane
purposes toward which the friends of
child labor legislation have for long
time been striving.
Senator Cummins' statement is not
only complete answer to these at
tacks, but is timely and stern re-
buke to those responsible for giving
them publicity. His views are set
forth in letter to Owen h. Lovcioy,
general secretary of the national child
labor committee, written September %.

such charge against the law in order
to discredit the administration Sena.

and must react upon those
who are foolish enough to give cur
