Joyful welcome. Whistles were

big City Hall bell. sounding out It's
welcome epals. The noise is ter
rife and in every marching fireman's
face can be seen the JOY with which
he views this grand demonstration. Il
will mark an epoch IN his life's history
as a volunteer fireman, and It viii be
many days before the affair is for
gotten by him.
Old Fashioned Uniforms.
All the hremen in the parade, bott
the members Of the Union and Wash.

EIGHT HOUR DAY ON
 IRRIGATION WORKS

Whether the eight-hour labor law shall apply to the Governm ant Irr,- gation works in the West is a ques- ticn now before the Department of Justice, and that may be settled next month. The decision will affect twenty-fOur projects ie fifteen States and three Territories Arizona includ- ed, and at a low estimate will affect 5000 laborers, now on the work.
 During the summer season, while the contractors are running at high pressure, the laborers thus affected may be as many as 5000 or 5000. Of course. if the law is held to apply, the future work of the Government or the same line will be similarly re- stricted, and the increase in cost, per cent
 The majority of the laborers now on the work who will be touched by the decision are men who are used to working ten hours a day The mat ter was never given a thought by the officials engaged by the Interior Department until the question was raised by some of the representatives of the wOrkmen on the Arizona pro ject.
 Of course. under the law. it had to be had before the Department of Justice, where it now is, and prompt decision is expected.
 The question of an adequate labor supply on the irrigation works is one of the most serious problems nav confronting the engineers. Some of the smaller contractors have already failed because they could not get a sufficient number Of workmen. and others are on the verge of failure for the same reason. Now that the eight hour question has been raised in addition to the other troubles. the lot of the contractor on the irrigation works is not at all happy one and promises speedily to become less so.

GAMBLING BILL IS
 MADE MORE SEVERE

That the Senate committee on ju dietary, to which body was referred the anti-gambling bill introduced by Littlefeld, is strongly favorable to it's passage is shown by an amendment it has tackled to the original.
 Not content with the restrictions and severe terms of the bill as pass ed by the House, the Senate commit tee, prepared it's amendment, and re- ported the bill fayorably with it's iron clad addition clause attached. To make it's amendment the more force ful, il struck out everything in the original bill coming after the enact ing clause, inserting instead the fol lowing:
