sitions were defeated Mr.. Tawney

Of the house. With rcS"ntatiyes Of
several nra" cOEct:i!S doing govern
mcnt work appearing in opposition. y.
q. DinkrA. general superintendent of
the Homestead steel wUrkS. argued
that the eight hour limitation would be
Objectionable to employees and cnl-
ployrr and w0ull seriously Interfere
with government work if not make it
impossible to do it. He rontendcu that
the success Of some OF the large nrmOr
plates depended upon longer shifts
than eight hours. Mr.. Dinkey also set
forth the satisfactory conditions of Ia
bor at IloHiestpad under the present
system.
The conferences of the two houses of

nrnt CENSUS bureau have reached an
agreement. The bill as agreed upon
rmhudics most of the amendments

The senate provision concerning the
civil service is retained. All the en-
plOyrCs Of the office at the time Of the
signing Of the bill except unskilled la
borers are to come under the provisions
Of the civil service law. The provision
requiring future appointments TO be
made under the civil service law was
modified by the conference 50 as to
make the requirement applicable only
to permanent appointments. The Iii
rcctor's salary is liked at $4,000 per an
mum instead Of $1,000 as suggested by
The house and 800 as named by the
senate. The senate provision for IN as
sStunt director is stricken out, and Il
provision is inserted requiring the
chief clerk to act as director in the alb
kcncc of that official. The chief clerks
salary is fixed at $1,000. The clause

Smyrna, Del, Feb. 26. THE
revival which is now being con.
ductcd in Asbury NJ. Il. Church
SMYRNA, and which was started
eight weeks ago, still shows nc
sign Of closing and is probably the
most successful Of the many evan
gelistic meetings held throughout
lower Delaware this winter. AL
ready over POO conversions have
been reported, among them being
prominent men and women of the
town. Rev. Vaughan $. Collins,
pastor of the church, is being ably
assisted by local preachers and
lavman of the church. The noon
day meetings and the Sunday af-
tcrnoon mems meetings have been
special features of the services.
It is not often the case in this sec
ton that Il minister is compelled
to close his protracted meetings in
order to attend the annual session
of his conference. Such will be
the case, however, should the meet
ings continue three weeks Ionger,
when the Wilmington Conference
will begin at Cristield. Tn such
case, the meetings would be of
eleven weeks duration.
