GETTING CASE READY.
Attorneys in Judgeship Contest Pre-
pairing For Hearing.

The attorneys in the quo warranto
proceedings in the judgeship muddle.
filed Wednesday afternoon in the SUI
preme court, are already at work on
the case. 1t is set for hearing on the
morning of Monday, January p, and
there is not much time for preparation.
The attorneys on both sides have the is
sues pretty we'll in hand, however, so
that the principal thing to be done Is
to prepare the briefs.
The burden of proof is on the defend
ant, as a demurrer to the petition was
filed, and the supreme court has order
ed the defense to file its brief by Janu-
airy p, only five days away. AS soon as
it is typewriter the defense will fur
nish a typewriter copy to Attorney
General GODDARD, without waiting TO
have it printed, and Mr.. GODDARD is or
dered to file his reply brief by January
81.
There is a disposition on the part of
the supreme court to hurry the matter
through, as considerable important Hu-
cation is waiting on its outcome, and
unless there is a great difference or
opinion, as there was in the Topeka
mayoralty case. a speedy decision may
be looked for.
The stipulations in the case, which
were signed by all the parties interest
ed except James Lawrence, of Yelling
ton. who was not present, as as fol-
lows:
and between the parties hereto that the
quo warranto action against ]. E. An
drews shall be submitted to the court
upon the petition filed herein and the
demurrer filed thereto, and that the sole
question to be tried in this case shall
be the validity of chapter 176, of the
laws of Kansas, passed at the session
of 1901, so far as it affects the office of
district judge.
1T is further stipulated that the I'M
dersigned, who might be parties to sim
liar controversies, shall abide by the
determination and decision of this case
TO the same extent as If it We're brought
by or against them and involved the Of
fees in which they are concerned
1T is also stipulated that pending the
determination of this case the judges
now in office in the various districts in
which appointments have been made,
and from which the present incumbents
or the appointeeS to office therein sign
Ply said offices and no change shall be
made in the possession of said offices,
except by written determination of this
suit. In the meantime the rights of the
parties shall remain as they now are.
1T is further stipulated that each of
the parties to this proceedings shall
submit the same to this court at the
earliest date the same can be heard, no
sooner than January 27, 1902. Nothing
in this stipulation shall affect the rights
of the parties to the salary of said Of
fees.

JOHNSON Is HAPPY.
Greatly Pleased Over Decision of
Eight Hour Law.

W. L. A. johnson, state labor COM
missioner, IS feeling pretty good over
the recent decision of the supreme court
upholding the eight-hour law. Concern
ing it he says:
mo decision of the supreme court in
recent years has been of such import
ance to labor as that rendered Saturday
upholding the conStitutionality of the
eight-hour law. Nearly two years have
been consumed in pushing this case
through the city courts of Kansas City,
Kas., and up to the supreme court. 1t
was upheld in each and every court,
step by step, toy the court of last resort.
1t is especially interesting to labor to
know that not only the eight-hour phase
of the law is upheld but that the current
rate per diem feature is also very
clearly shown. This, as L interpret the
law and the decision, means that the
rate of a days pay existing in the To-
cality where the work is performed,
even though the current day be ten
hour day, that this amount shall be
paid for eight hours on state, county,
city, township and other municipal work
coming under this law. When we re-
member that this law has been on the
statute books for ten years and only
since the enforcement Of labor laws was
made one of the duties of the commits
Sioner under the new law governing the
bureau of labor, has any considerable
attention been paid to the enforcement
of this and other labor laws, our work.
ing people will realize the benefits that
are accruing to them by virtue of the
present system of operation of the bu-
reau of labor, and of the Importance of
this decision.
"A great deal of misrepresentation pre-
walls about the application of the eight
hour law to all kinds of state, county.
city, township and other municipal
work, and some disappointment may be
felt in certain quarters on account of
the law not covering all classes of labor
employed by the state, county and city,
but the dividing line under the eight
hour law seems TO be between those who
are employed by the day and for an in
definite term and those that are en-
ployed by the year at an annual salary.
However, the large amount of state,
county and city work that is performed
either by contract or directly on the per
diem system will come under the eight
hour law, and the working men will
secure the benefit of a 20 per cent. re-
duction in hours and a 20 per cent. in
crease in pay for the amount of work
performed, and there will be employed
20 per cent. more men to perform the
same amount of labor than if employed
on the ten-hour system.
THE benefits of this law have been
applied during the past two years to
perhaps 1000 working men throughout
the state, and since the decision has
made the boundaries of this law clear it
will be enforced vigorously by the de-
partment hereafter.

NO HELP FOR THEM.
Poor Overworked City EmployesMust
Continue to Labor Overtime.

Some friend of the engineer and fire.
man of the city electric light plant who
was evidently afraid they would work
too hard, made complaint to the state
that the city of Topeka is violating the
eight hour law in allowing these en-
ployes to work more than eight hours
out of each twenty-four.
Commissioner johnson called the at
tention of Superintendent Munson to the
matter, and he referred it to City Attor-
ney Spencer. Mr.. Spencer wrote Mr..
Johnson that the men were employed
law did not apply to them.
Mr.. Johnson then laid the matter be-
fore the attorney generals department,
and Assistant Attorney General West
wrote an opinion in which he said:
Il have yours of recent date asking
an opinion as to whether the fireman
of this city may be lawfully permitted
required to work more than eight
hours a day, and enclosing letter from
City Attorney Spencer who states that
these men are paid an annual salary of
$500 and $500 respectively, fixed by city
ordinance
1T will be noticed that the eight hour
law, both in it's title and In it's sections,
covers 1aborers, workmen, mechanics
and other persons employed by and on
behalf etc. The city of the first class
act authorizes the city to prescribe the
compensation of all officers and servants
thereof and it is a question whether
these men are such officers and ser
wants. or whether they are laborers, etc,
under the meaning of the eight hour
law"
After citing q number of court decis-
ions covering the case. Judge West con-
tinues:
Hence my opinion is that if the fire
man and engineer in question are in
fact something more than manual
laborers, whose duties require special
skill and knowledge above that of the
ordinary laboring man, and if in addi-
ton to this they are employed by the
city by the year for annual salary
appropriated by ordinance, they do not
come within the provisions of the eight
hour law, for stated in some of the
cases above cited, the object of that
act was to enable laboring men, that
is, those who work by the day at toll

INDIANS GET PAY.
Chicago Men Will Settle For Lake
Front Purchase.

Hartford, Mich, Jan. 16.-The mem
bers of the Pokagon band of Pottawa-
tonne Indians have been notified by
their secretary, ]. Cushway, that Chi
cago men will be at Dowagiac on
Thursday of this week to pay each of
them the first 500 on the recent lake
front agreement. This will mean a
great deal to the Indians, as each child
will draw this sum as well as the older
members, and the winter is always hard
on the Indians, as they are not a very
strong people.
The agreement referred to is a pur-
chase of so-called equities of the Indians
in large tract of land on the lake front
at and near Chicago.

DISCHARGED CLERKS WEEP
Head of Census Bureau Compelled to
Lock Himself In.

Washington. Jan. 16.-Two hundred
clerks, mostly women, were discharged
from the United States census bureau
yesterday.
No preliminary warning Of the dis
charges had been given by the authori-
ties, and the scene which ensued among
the female clerks when informed of
their summary dismissal from the gov
eminent service was extremely pitiable.
Many of the younger girls burst into
tears and rushed to the office of Will
liam R. Merriam, director of the census
bureau, protesting against their dis
misSal and begging to be retained until
the end of the month
Mr.. Merriam replied that it would be
impossible to grant their request, and
that while he regretted exceedingly the
action that had been taken, it was abso-
1utely necessary to reduce the working
force of the bureau. and he was power
less to do anything for them.
The reply of the director brought
forth fresh tears, and he was finally
compelled to lock the door of his private
office and issue orders that no one
should be admitted.
