PERNlClOUS SYSTEMS.
Company stores and Company Houses
Condemned by MI. Hayes.

WASHINGTON, March 15.-Mr Dennis
A. Hayes, OF Philadelphia, president Of the
Glass Bottle Blowers Association of Amer
lea. was before the industrial commission
to-day. Mr.. Hayes stated that many foreign
bottle blowers were still imported under
contract proving themselves able 10 evade
the immigration laws. He detailed al length
the effort TO secure uniform cash payments
and abolish company stores. These stores
were described as very pernicious. He
thought the law on the subject recently en-
acted by the New Jersey Legislature would
be found TO be unconstitutional because OF
it's exceptions. The product of the average
glass operative of to-day is double that OF
ten years ago. said Mr.. Hayes, but this
was attained as the result Of terrible ex-
pendture of energy. The glass blower Of
this time was seldom able to continue his
efforts beyond the age of forty-five. There
had been pronounced falling off in wages
in the past few years and especially since
the panic of 1893. when there was a reduc-
ton OF the scale amounting TO 10 per cent.
There was promise to restore the old scale
as soon the conditions were improved.
But" he said, 1.-The panic is passed and
a new tariff has been enacted, still the con-
ditions are such that the restoration has not
taken place" This failure was due to the
employment of nonunion laborers by many
manufacturers. Mr.. Hayes denounced COM
pany tenement houses as generally unfit TO
live in, but said there was great pressure
to compel men to use them. lie had on one
occasion been discharged because being IN
married he was unable to occupy tene-
ment house. The store and the tenement
houses were i'm time of strike merely clubs
in the hands of the manufactures TO force
the operatives TO terms. He deprecated the
employment of women in the work as detri-
mental TO morals.

PROMISES TO MARRY.

Are Valuable Consideration.

NEW YORK, March 15.-When John b.
Reilly, jr., became engaged TO marry Miss
Bessie Larkin in April 1925, he assigned
5000 to her, on the condition she marry
him. They have not yet been married.

ment against Reilly for over 5000. brought
suit to set this assignment aside, so that he
could collect the judgment. Justice Scott of

Monday holding that an assignment on the

The fact that they have not been married
up to the present is not, he holds. a bar to
the assignment, which must stand.

Fourteen Mistakes

An English paper gives a list of
what it terms the fourteen mistakes
of life" While there are undoubtedly
other mistakes than those mentioned,
the list is fairly comprehensive one
1t Is a great mistake to set up our own
STANDARD OF right and wrong, and Judge
people accordingly; to measure the en-
joyment of others by our own; to ex-
pect uniformity Of opinion in this
world; TO look for perfection in our
own actions; to worry ourselves and
Others with what can not be remedied:
not to yield IN Immateriai matters; no.
TO alleviate all that needs alleviation
as far as lies in our power; not To
make allowances for the infrmities of
others; to consider everything impos-
sible that we can not perform; to be-
1ieve only what our finite minds cap
grasp; to expect to be able to under
stand everything. And the last and
greatest mistake of all is to live for
time alone, when any moment may
launch us into eternity.
