to the prejudice against corporation in

this brought Mile Bunnell to his feet
with some warm remarks. He said Du-

Lieutenant Governor McGilton has
this to say about the rotation ballot
used in the last election in Omaha;
The next legislature will, of course,
amend the law so as to prevent an
other such ballot as was used at the
recent election. | have never looked
into the law very closely, but | sup.
pose under its provisions it was nee
cssary for the court to hold the names
of the candidates for delegates to the
state convention should be rotated In
my opinion the law should he amended
so candidates would have to pay a GER
tain fling fee. This would prevent
many persons from filing who do so,
not because they have chance to be
elected or nominated, but merely to
get their names in the papers or for
other reasons. have not looked into
the fee matter, either, to any extent
but should think 1t could be done le

EIGHT HOUR LAW
ACTION OF GREAT IMPORTANCE
TO LABOR CIRCLES.
ENACTMENT Be MUST ENFORCED
President Directs that Government
officers See to lt-Contractors Vio'
latlng the Law Are to Be Subjects
of Punishment.

WASHINGTON - Action of the
greatest importance to labor circles Is
contemplated in a direction given by
the president to officers in charge OF
public works, at the instance OF Sec
rotary Taft This is to employ the
governments own offlcesr to direct
and punish violations of the law OF
1902, providing, except that in case OF
an emergency, work on government
buildings, ships and other properties
shall be limited to eight hours each
day for each workman.
An effort was made by the forces
of organized labor during the last SEES
sion Of congress to secure legislation
to this end, but so effective was the
opposition of the great contracting
firms that adjournment was had with
out any action on the pending bill,
though the house committee on labor
consumed many hours in listening to
powerful arguments on either side of
the question.
Heretofore it has been the practice

prises, to reply that it was not their
business; that the law was binding
on the contractors; and that if the
labor unions felt aggrieved and knew
of violations of the law they should
proceed themselves legally against
the offenders. The labor unions as
serted that it was almost impossible
for them to secure the necessary evil
dence.
The effect of the order on the cost
of government work is expected to be
very great. 1t is known that it has
been almost the rule for government
contractors to work their men ten and
twelve and even more hours a day;
if they cannot do this they assert that
they must increase by 20 or 25 per
cent the amount of their bids, so that
congress must either increase by like
percentage the appropriations for pub
lie works or must correspondingly re-
duce the amount of work authorized.

PROSECUTION OF STANDARD
COMPANY AT CLEVELAND
DRoPPED-To BE CoNTIN-
UED AT CHICAGO.

Cleveland, O.-The federal grand
jury, which has been in session
here investigating alleged violations
Of the interstate commerce laws
and anti-railroad rebate laws, ad-
journed Tuesday afternoon without
bringing any indictments. The in
vestigation was directed particularly
concerning the Standard Oil company
and the Lake Shore Railroad COM
pany, and was the result OF testimony
of witnesses before the interstate
commerce commission here recently
in which evidence of alleged rebating
by the Lake Shore in favor of the
Standard Oil company had been
given. The failure to return indict-
ments, it is officially stated, was due
to the fact that the investigation de-
veloped the fact that the court here
was without jurisdiction of the al
| legged offenses upon which testimony
was given and that all of the evil
| dence secured here is to be trans
ferred to the federal officials at Chi.
cago, where the cases are to be pros
ecuted. Following the discharge of
the grand jury, which made no re-
| port, District Attorney Sullivan gave
out the following statement:

diction for indictment and prosecu-
