NEW YORK. Jan. sl,--A pair oi

United States is the record Of ono city

corler" states that the year just closed
will 20 ou record as one OF exceptional
prosperity for the shoe and leather in.
du,trics, 80 far as the volume Of bust
nes. Is concerned A canvass Of the
leading shoe manufacturing ecnters
proves beyond a doubt that the demand
increases much more rapidly than the
normal rate of increase for the popula.
tion. which is proof that there has been
a marked improvement In the general
business aud industrial conditions, Civ
ing larger value Of production In all
lines OF industry adding TO the general
wealth. while the earnings Of the work
ers in turn give larger consuming
power and larger demand for all pro.
duet. Brockton follows Lynn. with u
valuation o. about s3s 100000, although
the number of shoes Is only two.thirds
that OF LINN, the difference being made
up by the higher valuation Of the shoes
The average value Of Brockton shoes
has been steadily mounting upward
Tor years. and is now at the high water
mark. showing that the demand for
line shoes is steadily increasing.
The idea Of reciprocity with Canada
has been earnestly advocated by shoe
manufacturers OF New England. In the
belief that Il would mean larger sales
for their product in Canada, but the
reports Of the hearings before the Cana
dian Tariff Commission at Quebec will
come as damper on this enthusiasm.

The tug Tatoosh, Captain Charles
Bailey, arrived in home waters shortly
after noon yesterday, from her sea'tow
with the French bark David Dangers
hence to- or toward. Port Angeles.
Captain Bailey reports moderately
fair passage up the coast and a calm in
the Straits of Fica where he met the
Puget Sound tugs Sea Lion and Tyee
at 5 O'Clock ON Saturday night. He
turned the bark over to these steamers
Just Off at Neah Bay at o'clock and
turned seaward again on his homeward
trip; the two tugs picking up the
Dangers and bearing away for Port
Townsend which harbor it is thought
they would make by $3.50 o'clock yester-
day morning, three and one-hah hours
beyond the charter schedule of the
Frenchman; but whether this short
oyerlapse of her time will annul her
charter is problematical especially as
the excess time fell upon Sunday, non
working day. Captain Bailey and the
Tat were forty.four hours in the SER
vice of the dangers and he and his
officers and men were pretty badly
worn out on their arrival here.

TEN HOURS FOR WOMEN.
Working Day Of That Length Declare.
Constitutional

The following from yesterday Ore.
gonian Is of interest everywhere in the
State and may serve as text for re.
si,iting the eucroachment Of eNactina
proprietors, here. in Astoria, or else.
where:
"The constitutionality Of the law
making il an oTense to permit women
to be employed more than ten hours a
day was upheld by Judge Sears yester.
day, who overruled the demurrer to the
information against Curt Muller. pro-
prietor Of the Grand Laundry. Tho
charge against Muller was that he em-
ployed Mrs. r. Goteher for more than
TEN hours, September 4, 1905. The
arrest Of Muller was made with the in.
tention Of testing the law, and the case
will probably be appealed to the su.
preme Court.
"The statute was enacted in 1908 by
the Legislature, and according to it,
title. the object is TO limit and regulate
the hours Of employment Of females in
any mechanical or mercantile estab-
lishment. laundry. hotel or restaurant
SECTIONS. provide that no female
shall be employed in any laundry more
than ten hours in one day
Judge Sears, in rendering his deeis-
ion, alluded TO the fact that as the case
would be appealed lower court was
slow to declare a law unconstitutional
where there was reasonable ground for
doubt. Judge Sears said that a recent
decision Of the United States Supreme
Court would fully determine the action
but for the sex Of the alleged victim.
This decision was contrary to regulation
