A bill recently passed by the Ohio
legislature provides that in the absence
of a contract agreement women shah
be paid the same wages as men. In the
attempt to enforce a similar law in
Kansas last year many women lost
good positions. Wages, in the case of
both men and women, are regulated
by something more powerful than leg
islation, to-wit, conspicuous effective
ness.

ROOT BLOCKS TIE WAY.
Says There is No Particular
 Hurry in Moving.

Will Be Willing to Move Back to
 Street Line Next Spring-Superin-
 tendent Kelley Says Work at That
 Point Is Blocked Unless He Moves
 His Building Right Away.
 The attitude of Samuel Root in re- fusinG to remove his building on the WatertCwn road is the talk of the town, and many think that the Ques- tion will go into the courts and turn out to be one of the most interesting cases ever heard in this city. This is very doubtful and the chances are that the whole trouble will be straightened out without either party striking a blow. Of course, the city will not re- cede one inch from it's position. but it is thought that Mr Root will yield graceful; -'d thus save himself and the city curr,.- ~ble expense. Mr Root was a member of the old board of compensation and knows more about thislllind of business than peo- pie who never had any experience in public affairs of that nature.
 Of course there are two sides to every story. and this is no exception Mir Root alleges that the city has been rather slow in pushing the work and that on this account the job cannot be finished this season and. therefore. he sees no sense in being asked to move his building at the present time. He is satisfied, he says. to remove the yer anda now and put back the building to the street line next spring. Mir Reil- ey's version of ii is that the city could not proceed with the work at this par ticular point until Mr Root had re moved his house. and that if he had complied with the order in due time there would not he anything left there for him to do now. All the curb is on the ground from West Main street to Robbins street. and if it is not set and the walks laid before things freeze the fault must not be laid at the door of the street department.
 The superintendent also states that AIr Root did not offer to remove his yeranda this fall and take the build ing off the street line next spring. but he admits that NIr Root was willing to remove the veranda provided he could have tine house stand where it is until he got ready to move it. AIr Kelley says that he has no interest in the matter beyond the fact that he was given the order to work the street to a certain width and that. ow ing to the presence of Mir Roots house on the line he cannot carry it out in detail and that there is no course open to him but to report the facts as he finds them to the board of public works and let them do what they please about it. The building in Ques- ton is owned by two parties.
 But what matter about this. The little affair will right itself by and by and when the building is pushed back, the walks laid and the gutters cobhled. the people will wonder how they man. aged to live there before they got these Improvements.
