Bill to Investigate Passed.

Notwithstanding that a vigorous effort
was made in the part Of Representative
Tawney of Minnesota to defeat the Senate
bill authorizing the Secretary of Commerce
and Labor to investigate and report upon
the industrial, social, moral, educational
and physical condition of women and child
workers In the United States the bill
passed the House yesterday.
1t was Mr.. Tawneys opinion that the
subject was so vast that 1t would require
an additional force of employees to properly
make the investigation. He said no man
could appreciate the extent of the investi-
cation and he believed 1t was saddling the
government with a wholly unnecessary In
quiry. Mr.. Bartholdt of Missouri and Mr.
Gardner of Massachusetts spoke In favor
of the measure.

Two-pLATooN SYSTEM DOOMED.
General Bingham to Put New Sched-
ule Into Effect.

NEW YORK, January 22.-Before the end
of the week the two-platoon system in the
police department will. be thing of the
past. 1t was announced at headquarters
yesterday that Commissioner Bingham had
adopted brand-new system of patrol that
will make every patrolman chuckle with
delight Although the schedule has not
been made public, those who have seen 1t
and know it's workings say it is far better
for the men than the three-platoon system.
They will have even better times than they
had when they worked in eight hour shifts,
and will have more time to spend at home
than under any system ever used in the de-
partment
Now that the commissioner is about to
spring this brand-new idea policemen who
wondering what 1t is like Gen. Bingham
won't let on until he is ready to put the
system into effect, probably on Thursday.
but he gave every assurance that the men
will be more pleased with it than they
were with the three-platoon.
Gen. Bingham and those who aided him In
creating the new schedule have arranged
1t so the bluecoats will have more time Off;
there will be as many men on patrol as
there are under the twO-platoOn, and every
man will have a straight post night and
day. The new system IL q combination of a
few of the best ones suggested to the COM
missioner, and he is so confident that 1t
will meet with approval from all quarters
that he said It Will be permanent
