was something else to make our eyes
bulge. No woman of any age and no
boy between II and Is years Of age
could work overtime in their employ
ment except on twentyeight days in
the year and then for not more than
three hours in each Of the twenty-eight
days. In order to obtain even this
overtime the employer must on each
occasion file at the nearest office Of
the labor department an application
and secure a permit. The application
must state the name and age of each
person Of whom overtime work was
desired and the amount Of overtime
expected. These names were ordered
to be kept on file in the labor offices.

son in the submitted list had within
twelve, months worked overtime on
twenty eight occasions the application
for that person must be rejected. And
for all the overtime work allowed the.
employer must pay a price and half.
In our own happy land, where the
freedom Of contract is inviolable, we
proceed in quite a different way.

Northern preferred This stock sold shortly
after the opening at 231. after which it de-
clined to 224. Some sales Of the rights were
reported to have taken place at around IS,
thus making the values Of the stock ex-rights
in the neighborhood Of 191.
This seems to be high price for per

good news is out. Reading was under pres
sure on rumors Of labor trouble On the other
hand Amalgamated Copper was strong, it being
asserted that the next dividend would be at
the rate of 10 per cent. Some disappointment
was expressed that call money by Mr.. Shaw
has become effective and that the banks have
lost so far this week. according to estimates
in the neighborhood of So, 500, 600.
Considering these facts and also bearing in
mind the weak condition Of the banks as dis
closed by Saturdays statement, it should be
matter Of wonder that rates are as low as
they are.
Sentiment on the door is less bullish than it
was yesterday and further reaction is looked
for.
