scows nanufa ctured for the street clean
ing departments Payment was refused
OH the ground that he had VIOLATED the
terms of his contract In employing his
men. more than eight hours n day. Cos
sey did not deny this, but held that the
law was UNCONSTITUTIONAL The Court Of
Appeals rovcrscs the lower courts and
grants his application,
This decision Is IN tho interest OF in
aividual liberty, and it must be crafty
ing to every lover OF liberty that IL has
been rendered.. IT the Legislature may
prohibit a citizen from employing his op-
eratlves moro than eight hours q day

ing more than eIght hours day. lf the
Legislature may do this, IT may also pro-
hibit an employer from paying more or
less than a certain wage and may pro-
libit an individual from working Tor
moro or less than a certain wage. Indeed.
If the principle involved III this New
York enactment be admitted, Sthe 14csis-.

DEMOCRATS FIGHT.
Oppose Appropriation to Meet New
Pension Order Requirements

Washington, April 13.-The house
committee on appropriations today
completed the general deficiency bill,
carrying a total of SO, ,3SS,74 The
largest item in the bill is $4,0O0,600
for pensions. OF this sum S1,500,000
is an estimated deficiency which viii
be caused by the execution of the re-
cent service pension order. The mi
nority members of the committee
made a fight against this item, but it
was ordered by a party vote
As the item is included, a minority
report accompanies that of the ma
jority to the house. The minority
views are signed by Underwood,
Brundiges Benton, Livingston, and
Pierce Taylor of Alabama was alb
sent.
The conclusion of the minority is
that there is no warrant of law for
the appropriation of the million and
a half dollars requested by the COM
missioner of pensions for the purpose
herein stated 1t quotes the recent or
der in full. and says that while there
are members of congress who favor a
service pension law, it is not within
the Jurisdiction of the appropriations
committee to consider the question.
Our duty" the report says, 'is
confined to providing the money to
pay the obligations of the United
States contracted under the law. The
point we desire to make is that there
is no law on the statute books of the
United States that warrants the ST.
500, 900 appropriation asked for by
the commissioner of pensions to pay
the deficiency caused by executive or
der No z 8. and we will move on the
floor of the house to reduce the ap-
/ preparation asked for pensions to the
1 extent Of $1,500,000 for that reason.

Mr.. PENWELL REPLIES.
Says Undertal1ers Are Not Unjust to
HacIQnen.

L. NJ PenweH takes issue with the
story printed in Wednesdays State
Journal in regard to the statement OF
one of the aggrieved hack drivers that
he is getting the worst of it from the
undertakers.
1.-The truth of the story" said Mr.
Penwell. lis that the barn hacknfen
who keep nice carriages for funerals,
parties. and so on, handed us a schs-
dule which reads like this: Topeka
cemetery, 81; Rochester. 50; Catholic
IS; Foster, Sc; Richey. IS; Prairie
Home, 81. We have nothing to do win
the business at all. When we need
hacks we get them and at the first Of
the month the owners come around
and get their money
The story given out by hacHmen is
to the effect that some of the hackmen
in Topeka have formed a combine and
feel pretty sore against the undertake
ers because they get the street cabs
for 50 and then charge what they
please and make a rakeoff
