Pe cd ay ‘, WOVEN SMOKE OUT “INVISIBLE” FOES OF ALL WELFARE BILLS Nanté Mark Daly of Buffalo as Leader, Speaker Sweet and Senator Lusk. (Special to The Evening World.) ALBANY, March 23.—It took the Women to smoke out the lobby which Members of the Legislature have been proclaiming for years as existing here im opposition to the welfare bills which have been continually defeated of passage. For years it has been openly charged that the Associated Manufacturers and Merchants’ Asso- ciation was behind the efforts to de- feat this sort of legislation, and that Mark A. Daly of Buffalo, whose head- quarters during the sessions are at the Hotel, Ten Eyck, has been its chief lobbyist, But when the hearing is held this afternoon on the Hight Hour Day and Minimum Wage Bills there will be a mumber of women of the New York State League of Women Voters pres- emt to denounce the lobby and make serious charges against the methods of those behind it and mention names, as they did yesterday afternoon in a report to Gov. Smith. In fact, they have copies here of a voluminous re- port prepared for the Legislature and for the public in general. Under tho guise of patriotism the lobby bas throttled the welfare measures. INFLUENCE 18 “RAPIDLY BE- COMING NOTORIOUS.” “We have found,” the report states, “that the influence at work, 80 far trom being invisible, are flagrantly an@ cynically open, and are rapidly beporiing notorious.” ark Daly is named as the chief in- stigator of the combined “lobby and propaganda backed by the Associated Manufacturers and Merchants’ Asso- ciation, and promoted by the so-called New York League for Americanism,” directed chiefly against the Eight- Hour, Living Wage and Workmen's Iliness Insurance Billa, and fh addi- ulén are mentioned Speaker Sweet, Carleton D. Babcock, Secretary of the New York League for American- ism, Syracuse; C. A. Chase, former President and now Vice President of the Associated Manufacturers and Merchants’ Association, and Treas- urer of the League for Americanism, Syracuse; Frederick L. Hoffman of the Prudential Insurance Company, Newark; William Gale Curtis, Presi- dent of the so-called Insurance Econ- omies Society of Detroit, and Sena- ator Clayton R. Lusi he addressed also to the a ‘ ‘a! = Legislature and the people, states its findings are based on an expert {n- vestigation of several months under- taken by the League of Women Voters, representing the strongest elements in both parties, because its members have been startled at the outset of their career as voting citizens by evidence of an attempt by organized “vested interes fluence legislation through " of psucdo-patriotic props manner inimical to the pul Evidence is offered purporting to show misuse of the name and prea- tige of the Lusk committee to inves- tigate seditious activities, In order to combat industrial welfare measures opposed by the Daly lobby. “We are reliably informed," the report continues, ‘that aa early as last August the clated Manu- facturers and Merc a fund of between $100,000 and $200,000 for propaganda purposes and that this fund has been used for the sup- port of the so-called Lengue for Americanism,” The report states the investigation The report charges that there has NAME ts had raised ; § uncovered evidence that associations of doctors recently formed in yarious Parts of the State to fight workmen's sickness insurance are in reality part of the Daly-Babcock propaganda. BABCOCK “EMPLOYED BY IN- SURANCE INTERESTS.” | Carleton b, Babcock, Secretary and active director of the League for Americanism, the report says, has long been employed by certain insure ance interests to fight any form of workmen's co-operative illness insur ance and similar measures, and was as Secretary of the league after his fight in California on behalf of Insur- ance interests against legislation sim- ilar to that proposed in this State, Testimony is given in the report by way of showing that Speaker demoted and otherwise pun- Assemblymen who had refused y orders of the Sweet machine jn killing bills opposed by the Daly | lobby, and that in certain legislative matters "Daly's word goes.” brought to New York and hired to act! ¢ BAYER’ ON been “a singular conformity of method in the manner in which Sena- tor Lusk of the Lusk committee, Speaker Sweet and the so-called League for Américanism have sought to prejudice the public, in an Inflam- matory manner, against the proposed welfare bills.” The report does not demand an official inquiry, but states that “to in- form the public of the resuits of our investigation transcends in import- ance, we believe, any other service that the New York State League of Women Voters might render at this ime.” “Oh, fudge!" Was Speaker Sweet's comment when shown the statement of the Women Voters’ League. “The statement is #0 overdrawn as to de- feat ita own purpose,” Senator Lusk had this to eay: “It's all bunk. I am opposed to the wel- fure bills, but [ never made the state- ment attributed to me regarding them, The Lusk committee, of which J am Chairman, never was used for any purpose except that for which it was created by the Legislature.” GENUINE ASPIRIN Identifies the true, world-famous Aspirin, prescribed by physicians The “Bayer Cross” is the signature of the true “Bayer Tablets of Aspirin.” Th is only on genuine Aspirin. prescribed by physi- cians for over eighteen years.
