AN EIGHT HOUR BILL
Another Campaign for One to be
Started Soon.
Il Will Be Presented to Congress at rs
Next Session

Washington, May 2o--Already the
campaign for another eight hour bill
has been begun by the American Ped
GRAFTON Of Labor. An eminent lawyer
has been engaged to draw a new mea-
sure, one that will be constitutional il
possible.
Ii is the intention of the labor lead
ers to have this bill pass muster with
the committee ON education and labor
of the senate, the senate itself and
even the president. And further, the
president Is to be urged through all
the pressure that can be brought TO
bear upon him to indorse this proposed
act in his next annual message. At
the same time the National Associa-
ton OF Manufacturers has begun active
preparations to beat not only this bill,
but also the anti-conspiracy bill,
which would legalize a picket around
any manufacturing plant.
Advicss received from every section
of the country indicate that the labor
organizations spd manufacturers are
working with might and main to in
crease their strength to the maximum
in preparation for the coming strug-
gle, which, it is conceded on all sides,
will be q fight to a finish.

THE CROPS.
PROSPECTS ARE BETTER AFTER
LAST WEEK.

The weekly crop bulletin issued I'm.
der the auspices of the weather bureau
is out and is as follows:
The temperature was above. normal
the entire week and there was an abun.
dance Of sunshine. In the western
section moderate showers occurred in
many localities on the 18th and 14th,
greatly improving the condition of
crops in that part of the state. In the
central and eastern sections no rain
fell during the week. and crops are be-
ginning to suffer from drouth. The
land has baked and Is too hard to
work. This has seriously delayed the
completion of corn planting and the
preparation of tobacco land.
Wheat has improved considerably,
especially in the western section.
Oats and rye are doing fairly we'll,
but need rain in the eastern and cen.
thhi rtttioub.
Corn planting is about over. Many
early fields have been replanted.
Considerable tobacco was set out in
the western section. but in the central
and eastern sections the weather was
too dry. The plants are fairly pleuti-
full and generally about large enough
to transplant
Grass. gardens and potatoes are in
fair condition, but needing rain in
many places.
Apples are doing well. Strawber-
ries are coming into market and are
plentiful. Bhckberries promise a
good yield.

ARRESTED AT wAUKEGAN.
John Fitzgerald is Accused of Stealing the
Watch of John Mayo.

John Fitzgerald is Accused of Stealing the
Watch of John Mayo.
AS result of the detective work of
Michael Harkin and George Smith,
John Fitzgerald a former room mate
of the late John Mayo, was arrested
at Waukegan late Thursday afternoon
on charge of stealing gold watch
which belonged to the deceased
bar tender. Fitzgerald was brought
to Kenosha by Sheriff Timme and he
is now in the county jail awaiting
trial on charge of grand larceny. AT
the time of the death of Mayo his gold
watch was discovered to be missing.
Mayo had always thought a great deal
of the watch and had refused to part
with it. It is claimed that it was under
his pillow when he died, and Fitzgerald
stands accused of robbing his friend
after he had passed to another world
Shortly after the death of Mayo,
Fitzgerald left the city and when he
appeared in Racine he showed the
watch and claimed that it was one
which he had pawned twelve years
ago. This fact came to the friends of
Mayo and they at once went on a
search for Fitzgerald. He was found
working at the wire mills at Wauke-
gan. When arrested he claimed that
the watch had been given to him by
Mayo to secure loan of dollar and
half.
The different stories told by the man
seems to point a singer of guilt at him.
He will have hearing this afternoon.
The friends of Mayo are determined to
recover the property and return it to
the heirs of the late bar tender and if
it is found that Fitzgerald robbed his
dead friend and companion no punish
ment is too severe for him.
