THE AGE LIMIT.
Automobile Permit Issued to Young
Operator.


Under authority of the District Commits
sioners the automobile examining board to-
day issued an operators permit to James
O'Toole, a sixteen-year-old lad employed
as an expert chauffeur by one Of the local
automobile establishments. Young O'Toole's
case was one of those which recently
brought up the question of prescribing an
age limit in the issuance Of permits to run
horseless vehicles O'Toole passed one of
the most creditable examinations Of any OF
the applicants appearing before the auto
mobile board. He showed he was well up
on the subject of handling all classes of
machines, and except for the question OF
age was clearly entitled to an operators
permit.
The granting Of such a permit was held
up, however, by the automobile board,
which recommended to the Commissioners
that an age limit of eighteen years be pre-
scribed and that no permits be issued to
boys under that age.
The matter was referred by the Commits
sioners to the corporation counsel for an
opinion in the premises. The opinion was
forthcoming last Saturday, the counsel
holding that the regulations promul
gated mention no limit of age. He said the
question of age was one for the examiners
maturity seemed to constitute incompe-
tency, the granting or refusal of a license
was discretionary with them.
Upon receipt Of this opinion Commits
of Commissioners, instructed the examiners
to disregard the question of age and to con-
slider each applicant strictly upon his
merits. all things. including age, being TAX
en- into question. If, in the judgment Of
the examiners. boys fifteen and sixteen
years Of age appear competent upon ex-
animation to operate autos they will re-
ceive the necessary permits.

OPINIONS OF MINERS.
What They Think Of Umpire Wright's
Decision.


WILKESBARRE, Pa, September O.
Coal operators Of the Wyoming region look
upon the decision Of Umpire Wright, CIV
ing them the right to discharge employees
as a very important one. The officials OF
the United Mine Workers claim that the
privilege given employers Is apt to be
abused by mine foremen, who. acting upon
instructions from headquarters. can make
it very unpleasant for the men who were
active in the last strike
The superintendent of one of the large
coal companies says the decision is far
reaching, and will either bring permanenet
peace in the anthracite region or open war
upon the part Of the union miners he
points out that 80 per ceent of the petty
strikes that have taken place since the
caused by the discharge of some employe
for cause In order to have him reinstated
all the employees Of the mine would go out.
