LABOR AND LAW.

Two members of the commission ap-
pointed by the President to investigate
the great Chicago strike have been en-
gagged upon bin creating national
board of arbitration and Cancellation.
Several Congressman are also interested
in the work and it was introduced in
the House yesterday.
The title is "a bill concerning car
riers engaged in interstate commerce
and their employees" 1t is a very vol
luminous document, drawn on the lines
of the interstate commerce law, which
has been approved by the courts. AS it
has been drawn chiefly by CARROLL ID.
WRIGHT it is safe to assume that it is
conservative, and calculated to protect
the interests of the workingmen it
affects.
Tie bill creates commission Of five
members, who are TO be appointed by
the President aud confirmed by the SEN
ate, aud are to have salary of $1,000
annually. A secretary is also provided
for, at a salary of $500.
This commission is to have power to
investigate, and its findings are to have
the force Of prima facie evidence and
shall be given due right as such by
courts. Findings are to be reported to
the Attorney General for his action.
The most important portion of the bill
is that which provides~for the submis-
sion Of disputed matters and prevents
strikes or discharges by employers pend
ing the decision of the commissio. D.,

WHAT FREE SHIPS" MEANS.

There is bill in the House to provide
for "free SHIPS" that is, the American
registry of foreign-b built ships
This is measure intended to abolish
American ship-yards. which have just
succeeded in getting where they can
build good ships, under the fostering
care OF the Republican protection policy.
lt is believed that the bill will pass
the House without much delay or
debate, but that there will be strong
fight made against il in the Senate.
As all materials used in shipbuilding
can now be imported free of duty, it is
evident that the labor item is the only
advantage the foreigners have at present
over us in building ships.
1t might be expected that the Demo-
cratic party would care for American
labor very tenderly, assuming, as tdoes,
that it is the especial champion of the
workingman, and claiming his
vote as matter of inherent right.
Yet it is at present engaged in
an effort to turn over the shipbuilding
interests Of America to England. or re-
duce the pay of American workingmen
engaged in shipbuilding to the level of
the wages paid abroad.
just what this difference in wages is
has been ascertained by the New York
Advertiser, and from its very complete
exposition The News collates this little
tabular statement, The wages being for
weeks labor, and the averaging being
not always strictly accurate, the varia-
tion being favorable to the foreign rate
generally:

This one provision would prevent

were obliged TO give months consider

While il is not possible to judge Of the
scope or merit of this bill from the meager
outline published, it yet appears to have
in 1T the possibility of much good. THE
News expressly reserves the right to
either amend or repudiate this opinion
after having seen the bill in full but if
the summary at hand is true one, it
certainly seems that the measure would
be of very great usefulness if enacted
into law and its provisions honestly and

Infants Eyes.

At birth no infant can see. Pro
fessor Preyer, who has carefully
worked on single subject, a boy of
his own, considers that, although
sensibility To light exists from the
moment of birth, yet this sensibility
is moro alive to the sense OF feeling
than to that OF sight The infant
from the first closed its eyes when
exposed TO strong light. With re-
gard to actual sight, as denoted by
the fixing of the eyes ON objects,
Preyer says thf up to the tenth day
no noticed no movements indicating
that the child fixed its eyes on an OBJ
ject He seemed only to look at OBJ
jects before him up to that time
Other authorities assert that in this
latter respect infants differ greatly
This much, however, is clear-that
it usually requires between two and
three weeks tor the sense of sight TO
como into full operation. New York

Good For Prof. Hughes.

Prof. Hughes, county superintendent,
deserves the praise of all lovers of edu-
cation for cancelling all the certificates
OF teachers that the magnanimous
school board of Ringgold township had
selected for their winter term Of schools.
The school board had been paying the
enormous sum of from $28.00 to 5000
for teachers and this year they decided
to pay $1,000, $500 and $500 per
month. When Prof. Hughes heard OF
their action he notified the board that
he would not permit any teacher to go
into their schools at such salaries. The
board increased the salaries three dollars
per month and Prof. Hughes cancelled
the certificates OF all the teachers they
had hired. This had the desired effect
and the board put the wages back to
that of last year, s2s.0O to 5000, which
is from $1,000 to $500 per month too
low yet. One would be led to believe
that such a school board either had
$1,000 teachers during their school days
or they are most everlastingly stingy.
AT one OF the meetings one school di-
rector made a brilliant t?) speech and
eloquently (p) said Gentlemen Of the
board want you to understand l got
my edercation in log house with
CREASED paper for winders and had TO
sit on the soft side Of a plank" This
director wanted to keep the schools
closed all winter and save the expenses
thus encurred, but some Of the other
fellows knew they were compelled to
have six months school, and decided on
the reduction OF wages which Prof.
Hughes knocked "galley-west."
The editor of this paper does not ex-
pect TO ever assume the duties of school
teacher, but we have always been in
favor of paying teachers good wages.
It is certainly poor economy to try and
save little school tax by paying teach
ers about half what they should get in
number of places. Economy is wealth,
but economy in this manner means
Ignorant scholars" Again we say
Prof. Hughes done perfectly right, and
we give him credit for it. Out with
such economy.

have not forgotten her. She is a mem
ber of the Daughters Of Rebeckah in

same order in Reynoldsville, who

ing her visit, therefore ON Tuesday
night they donned their best "bib-and-

baskets with palatable delicacies and
congregated at the home OF Mrs.

where they spent most delightful
evening. There was no scarcity Of

Charles Shaffer, the young man who

Thompson at Cool Spring about a year

Brookville and gave himself up. He
was placed under $500 bail for his ap-
pearance at court. Shaffer is teaching
school at Apollo, Armstrong county.
Shaffer said to friend who inquired
why he had voluntarily placed himself
in the hands Of the law, that he did not
want the charge hanging oyer him. A
man in his situation would naturally
feel like a fugitive from justice, and
could have no peace of mind.-Punxsu-

Want Money.

There are few subscribers to THE
STAR who have been taking the paper
for two and half years that have never
paid penny on their subscriptions, and
they have been politely requested to
do so. We have been lenient thinking
that they would pay, but they don't
seem TO be in a rush. Unless these are
paid within reasonable time we will
have to resort to some method of col
lecting the money. People who are
compelled to pay their subscriptions, or
any other debt, generally get cross
about it, but they should not. 1t is said
that 'hint to the wise is sufficient"
and II that be so we will just say that
publishers of newspapers can, under the
law, arrest any man for fraud who takes
paper and refuses to pay forit. Those
who have not paid know just as well as
does the editor that they have not, so it
is not necessary to waste more postage
in sending bills.
