he'd cneck To the person Wltn WHOul he
was doing business. and ask him to
hold ii out for that day. as the bank

was money enough In the bank to meet
the check. he would go i'll and take it
out There would be only Il slip Of
paper i'm the drawer. and the with
Grawal would be put down AS Il cash
item With this money he would in

Washington. Feb. 1.-THE third
part of the Industrial commissions
final report was made public yester'
day. 1t treats of labor, immigration,
taxation and irrigation. Regarding
labor the following recommendations
are made: Congress having no power
to legisiate directly upon the subject,
it is recommended that the several
states establish uniform hours of la
Dor. and also specially regulate the
hours of employment of persons be-
tween the age of II and 81. The
working day of all public employment.
the report says. should be eight hours,
IN the hope that it would bring pri-
vate employment to the same stan.
dard. The period of work in under
ground mines should be eight hours a
day.
Labor Should BE Paid in Cash.
1t is recommended that congress.
under its powers as to interstate CON-
merce, prevent any person under IS
Years being employed as Il telegraph
operator on railroads; that all engin-
GERS and Switchmen should submit TO
an examination for color blindness:
that it should be miSdemeanOr for
an engineer or Switchman to be intON-
icated while on duty. The report says
the states should adopt Il law provid,
ing that labor should he paid in cash
or cash orders, without discount. and
not in goods or due bills. and that
company stores should not be allowed.
Provisions should be made for fair
weighing at mines.
Government by Lnjunction.',
Regarding injUnctionS. the commits
sion says: The question of the en-
fcrcement of the labor contract by
injunction or contempt in equity pro,
cess i Il very difficult one. mainly so
made 10y the abuses which have arisen
from injunctiOnS careIeSSly issued by
learned judges. or by the unlearned
judges of inferior courts, in states
which confuse chaucery and common
law jurisdiction The Injunction is 4
high prerOgative writ. and should ba
awarded only after the most careful
examination by tribunal thoroughly

Congress to Regulate Railway Labor.
Congress should legiSIate to prevent
the importation and sale of convict
made goods from one state into an,
other without the consent of the state
into which the goods are imported. or
where they are sold. ON the subject
of railway labor. which. the report
says. is undoubtedly covered 10y the

The explanation of this rumor has now
come out, it being said that she seriously
thinks Of entering a convent. and wished
first to visit Jerusalem and the Holy
places. Although there has been no con-
hrmation Of this intention, 1t would not
be an act contrary to the traditions OF her
house or her known piety.

themselves almost from the founding OF
the house to the religious life, beginning
with Mathilda, daughter Of Amedeo LII
THE Blessed" who lived from lis to
115S She married King Alfonso Of Portu-
gal, at whose death she entered the order
of the Holy Cross at Coimbra- An
other, Margaret of Savoy, the most saint
ly of them all, was beatifed, having en-
tered the convent Of "St. Mary Magda-
len" when only p, in the year 1920 when
left a widow.
The last Of the long list was Adelaide

of Elector Ferdinand, founded the rue
Of the Saves of Mary" and imposed
on her son, Macmillan Emanuel. TO bury
her in the habit Of the order Besides
these, in late days. there have been many
