and every square yard Of the plaster
lining the winter palace Of the czars

order that the palace must be rebuilt
In a year, and what was human life
against the despot's will? Six thou
sand men were kept at work day and
night, with the palace heated at 30
Reamur to dry the walls rapidly.
while the temperature outside was
often 30 degrees below zero Reamur.
The men could only work with Ice
packs on their heads. and. experience
ing . daily change Of 60 degrees. they
died by the score every day. BY the
end Of the year the death roll was
some thousands, but the palace was
finished.

new RULING FOR
CHILD LABOR LAW.
Receives Wild D., Construction in
Courts at Trenton 0iIcIoth
Co npany.

TRENTON. Aug 16:-Fines of
$50 each were imposed yesterday on
the Mercer Pottery Company, of this
city, and THE, United Oilcloth Com
pany, of Yardville, by Judge George
Macpherson, of the district court, the
concerns being charged by the State
Department ofLabor with employing
children under the legal age of four
teen years, in violation of the
child-labor law.
The defence was that tho children
had been hired by employees and not
by the principals of the companies.
This was declared by Judge MacPher-
son to be of no avail under
the provisions of the law, which
makes the principal responsible even
for the presence of minor children
iR his plant.
! The establishment of this prec-
will lead the department to in
stitute other suits against employers
in different parts of the state.
The cases were Litter iy contested
by the two companies, and they
threaten to take them to the highest
cour in the state, no to test The
new law against the employment

of child labor-which is considered
proper-but to have the fines set
