TWO IMPORTANT DECISIONS.
The Law which Prohibits Paying Miners
in Scrip and the Eight Hour Law.

In Scrip and the Eight Hour Law.
Topeka, Dec. 12.-The scrip law met
a violent death at the hands of the SUI
preme court. 1t was declared repug-
nant to the fourteenth amendment to
the federal constitution and therefore
invalid.
This law, in substance, made it I'M
lawful for any corporation employing
over ten persons to pay those persons
in anything other than lawful money
of the United States. The object to be
sought was to deprive mining compa-
MES in Southeastern Kansas from pay
ing their employees in scrip or mer-
chandise.
The court also held the eight-hour
law valid. This decision was made in
case brought up from Junction City,
where a contractor was arrested for
working his employees more than eight
hours day in the construction of a
court house. Labor Commissioners
johnson will now endeavor to enforce
this law on all public W ork.

|O1OEINNANS N|[[ PROTEST.
Ratification Of Agreement to Sell
Reservation Objected To.
IGNORANT OF REAL PURP0RT.

Washington. Dec 12-The Indians
of the Otoe and Missouri reservation in
Kansas and Nebraska have protested
to Commissioner Jones against the rat
ification of the agreement recently en-
tered into between them and Inspector
Mclaughlin for the settlement of the
long-pending dispute regarding the
claims of certain purchasers of por-
ton of the lands for a rebate of the
price fixed at the sale. The head men
of the tribes claim that they signed the
agreement concluded with Inspector
Mclaughlin under misapprehension
of the contents and in ignorance of the
conditions it contained. At the same
time they have wired here of their in
tention of coming to Washington with
a copy of the agreement. The agree
ment between Inspector Mclaughlin
and the Indians, with regard to the
sale of some of their lands in Nebraska,
involves these facts: This sale took
place several years ago at public auc-
ton. The lands brought on an aver
age of nearly S121 an acre. Some time
after the public sale an appraisement
of the lands was made and their aver
age value returned at S. an acre.
About 80 per cent of the purchasers of
the land claimed they We're cheated and
refuse to pay more than the appraise-
ment value. The Indians insisted upon
being paid in full. The legislation to
relieve the protesting purchasers of the
payment of the balance due over and
above the appraised value was intro
duced in the last congress, but failed,
and will again be considered by con-
gress through bill introduced by Rep
resentative Stark, of Nebraska. The
agreement just concluded between In
spector Mclaughlin and the tribe pro-
vides that the Indians shall concede to
the purchasers of their lands about
$500, 900 of the money due them under
the deeds of sale. The members of the
tribe who have notified Commissioner
Jones of their intention to protest
against the ratification of the agree
ment claim that they were induced to
sign in ignorance of it's real purpOrt.
