TELEPHONE QUESTION.
AN EFFORT TO SETTLE 1T TO
BE MADE TOMORROW.

The Retail Merchants association
meets tomorrow night, when it is
hoped to dispose of the telephone
question.
A petition or agreement has been
signed.b by 200 merchants''a and others in
business in Paducah stating that they
will use only one telephone, and will
use the one selected by the associa-
tion. The latter has not made any
effort to have those using residence
telephones enter into any agreement.
The telephone question has been
hanging fire for some time, but 1t is
hoped to settle it forthwith. The OBJ
ject of the association s work is to do
away with the necessity Of having
two telephones or to secure q reduc-
ton of rates so both can be secured
for what they formerly paid for one.

tail Grocers' association Of Psducah

mans commission.
The capital stock Of the corporation

The Rivers and Harbors Committee
to do Nothing for Ohio River.
The ION to Cairo Movement Is Still
Moving, and That's
aaq
About ALI.
DELEGATION IN WASHINGTON

Washington, Feb. 3-There was an
ION to Cairo" revival before the cou-
mittee on rivers and harbors of the
house yesterday. Colonel John l..
Vance, president of the Ohio Valley
Improvement Association, and Repre-
sentative Burton were the principal
exhorters.
The members of the rivers and hsr-
bors committee insisted upon making
it personal matter instead Of trying
to investigate the merits Of the propo-
sition. 1t is well known that the riv-
ers and harbors committee is stacked"
against this Improvement. They IA
vor ouly lake and ocean propositions.
Therefore, all their time this morning
was devoted to explaining why they
do not do things. The Hon. Thee.
Burton wanted to know. why the news
papers in the Ohio river territory had
been abusing him so much. No one
knew, or il any one knew, he was too
polite to tell. Mr.. Reeves said he had
done as much for the Ohio river as he
could and he thought il was sin and
a shame to abuse him. No one had
any comment to make on this.
Mr.. Burton wanted to know why
the ION to Cairo" people formerly
were willing to accept less than a
nine.foot depth. Mr.. Burton also
wanted to know IL the people Of the
Ohio Valley were inconsiderste enough
to expect s0tion Of this late day in the
session.
| Albert Bettinger. vice president,
said they wanted all they could get,
and 1t was their present intention to
keep at things until they got all they
wanted. Mr.. Burton said he felt that
this placed his committee in a false
position.

The enactment OF the child labor laws
is being pushed by all of the leading labor
ing organizations of the country. Such a
law as that adopted in Indiana and con-
tanning the amendments proposed to the
Indiana law at this session of the Legis-
>1ature are being proposed The official
organs OF all the trades union organiza-
tons are printing arguments in support of
the laws and furnishing reasons for their
passage.
The conditions of the child laborers in
the South and East are said to be truly
pitiable- The condition of the children in
the mines of the districts of Pennsylvania
and West Virginia have awakened a senti-
ment for the law in the United States that
is not confined entirely TO organized labor.
Child labor has been abolished in many
parts of the Union and the laws passed
have been found to operate for the benefit
