HOUSTON STREET CAR STRIKE.
A Question of Rules is the Cruxs of
the Trouble.

HOUSTON, TEX, December 1.-The
street-car conductors and motormen of
Houston walked out this morning. and
not car has moved all day. Efforts
made to secure a settlement during the
day have been without avail. The ques-
ton Of rules submitted by the men is the
keystone of the trouble. The men claim
they have been working twelve and thir-
teen hours a day for less than s., and
they demand 81 for nine hours work;
they also demand recognition of the union
and the adoption of certain rules. The
company has offered q slight increase,
but il is in the shape of a bonus, and not
a straight offer.
Manager Payne announces that he will
make an effort TO run cars within a few
days, whether he comes to an agreement
with the union or not. The 135 men out
are very orderly. and are being carefully
coached TO stay off the streets. Webster

ANTI KISSING BILL,
DIR. WARE, OF AMHERST. INTRO
DUCEs SUCH a MEASURE IN HOUSE
WOULD LIMIT OSCILLATION.
& Man Must Prove Himself Free
from Contagious or Infections Di-
scasc, and That He Has Good
Lungs.

The session of the house of delegates
was brief and of small Importance. A
few bills were introduced. none of which
was of great interest, and one or two or
them rather on the order of freak leGts-
alton, notably bill Of Mr.. Wares, 20
prevent kissing. This is a measure de-
signed to be serious and based on by
gienic lines, but which has been the sub
ject of merriment and jest among the
other members.
The bill is a follows:
Whereas kissing has been decided by
the medical profession to be medium
by which contagious and infectious dis
eases are transmitted from one person
to another: and whereas, the prohibit
ing of such an offence will be great
preventive to the spreading Of such dis
eases as pulmonary tuberculosis, diph-
iberia and many other dangerous dis
eases;
Therefore, Be it enacted by the General
Assembly of Virginia % that 1t shall
be unlawful for any person to kiss an-
other unless he can prove by his family
physician that he has not any infectious
or contagious disease. (2) If his physi-
clan testihes that the defendant has
weak lungs, he shall be found guilty of
a misdemeanor and the same penalty
shall be imposed as if he had some IN
fectious or contagious disease. 10 ANY
person viola ting the provisions OF the
first and second sections Of this act shall
be deemed guilty Of misdemeanor ana
fined not less than one dollar nor more
than five dollars for each offence.
