Eight-Hour Day and Fair Work.

There will be quite general agree
ment with the declaration of the
American Federation of Labor that a
universal eight-hour day is para
mount to all questions, even to an
increase In wages. A sensible and
reasonable division of the "a hours
would give eight hours for labor,
eight for sleep and eight for refresh
ment and recreation. This method
of dividing the time has been growing
in favor, and in many of the trades
the eight-hour day is now an estab-
lished fact. Among professional men
and those holding important salaried
positions in large commercial and in
dustrial enterprises it is not always
practicable to put definite limit on
every days work the year round.
In the large body of wage earners.
inside and outside of organized labor,
an eight-hour day, If honestly util-
ized, ought to produce the best re-
suits. The labor unions, however, in
declaring for this eight-hour day
should put some sort of an obligation
on their members to do a fair days
work within the eight hours. One of
the points on which unionism has
laid itself open to most serious criti-
cism is that wherein a uniform limit
is put upon the product of every
mans work. No bricklayer may lay
more than certain number of bricks
in day. A plumber must take a
certain minimum time on specified
classes of work, even though person.
ally capable of finishing the job in
half the time. In the shoe factory
certain number of shoes as the days
output must not be exceeded.
The individual ability of the work.
er to make better showing counts
for nothing. Injury is done not only
to the business of the employer but
to the character of the laborer by
quenching any ambition to show sup
erior merit.
While public sentiment believes in
granting an eight-hour day wherever
possible it also believes in fair
equivalent in the matter of produc-
tion. Industrial output should not
be held in check by limit based on
the capacity of the least efficient

Celebrate the Christmas Season bv
Holding Children's Exercises.

With the exception Of the Presbyterian
church, which could not obtain hall
and whose home is in course OF construc.
ton, all of the Protestant denominations
in Aberdeen held q special service for
the children on Tuesday evening, an.
other exception being the Lutheran
church, which held its exercises on

pleasant, and large crowds of the older
people we're present to witness the exer-
cises and assist in distributing the
presents.
On Wednesday morning the Episcopal
church held its regular Christmas ser.
vice, which was largely a musical one.
The church was elaborately trimmed in
evergreens, and the service throughout
was an enjoyable one.

Washington.
Portland, Ore, June 24-The Ore
gonian says that, seeking to cancel
six coal land claims In Lewis county,
Wash, forty miles east Of Chehalis,
patented to Portland men, the govern
ment has filed suit in the United
States circuit court at Tacoma charg-
ing that the patents were secured by

O. E. Lyle, William Crooks, Joel M.
Long and A. L. Mohler and others en-
tered into conspiracy to defraud the
government out of the titles to the
aforesaid lands and that they, "be-
Heving said lands to contain large
and valuable deposits Of coal, procured
and obtained certain persons to make
filings thereon"
The lands in question were patent
ed in 1903 to stockholders Of the Port
land Coal and Coke company, com
posed Of nearly fifty men, nearly all

SHOOTING ARRAY ON TRAIN
Minnesota Man Killed and Two Wo.
men Wounded.

Denver, June 24.-In a shooting
ARRAY that occurred in a chair car of
passenger train No. of the Chicago,
Rock Island and Pacific railroad, west
bound, near Dresden, Kan, man be-
lieved to be T. B. TOpp of st. Paul,
Mimi, q tailor, was killed and Mrs.
Morris Olson of Marshall, Mimi, and
her sister, Mrs Harry Blakesley, were
wounded The shots were fired by
John Bells, an Italian barber en- route
from Boston to San Francisco, who
had boarded the train at Chicago.
Before the shooting began most Of
the passengers were doing in their
chairs. They were awakened by
frantic yells and pistol shots. Five
shots were fired in rapid succession by
Bells as he walked through the aisle
from the front to the rear Of the car,
taking accurate aim at one passenger
after another.
The first shot struck Mrs. Olson,
the bullet passing through the jaws
and coming out on the left side. Mrs.
Olson's sister, Mrs. Harry Blakesley,
sitting opposite her, was hit in the
right shoulder with the second bullet.
Their wounds are not fatal After be-
ing shot both women rushed to the
smoking car ahead and majority of
the male passengers followed as quick
ly as possible, tumbling over one an
other in their haste to escape.
Bells third bullet. passed through
Mr.. Tops heart. He was found dead
later in his seat. His facial express
sion was calm and from his position it
seemed that he was sleeping when
shot. Bells, who had been drinking,
was then overpowered and placed I'm.
der arrest. He was taken from the
train at Goodland, Kan, and put be-
hind the bars.

SITUATION IMPROVES;
Officials Believe the Worst Is
Now Over in France.
PEACE GENERALLY RESTORED
Action Of Chamber of Deputies in Sup
porting the Governments Policy
Has Been OF Great Assistance in
Quelling the Disturbances.

Paris, June 24.-Premier Clemen-
ceau was able to give his colleagues
at the meeting of the cabinet a gen
orally hopeful report of the situation,
the belief being that the worst is over.
The ministers decided that under the
circumstances and in view Of the
bloodshed it would be out Of harmony
with his own and public opinion for
President Fallieres to attend the COM
ing festivities at Royan and Bor-
deauX, where he intended to review
the fleets and attend a reception on
board the United States armOred
cruiser Washington. The arrange
ments for the presidents visits were
therefore cancelled.
With the exception of the conflict
between troops and rioters at Mont
pellier, where order was restored in
the early hours of the morning, the
night passed without any disturbances
In the South. The action Of the cham
Der of deputies in supporting the gov
eminent has proved influential in re,
storing calm. The bishops in the dis
turbed area are ranging themselves on
the side of the "pacificists" and are
exhorting the people to avoid conflicts
with the troops and to cease Destroy
ing railroad property and making at
tacks on government buildings. At
Narbonne the night passed without
incident. Although there IS much
suppressed excitement there have
been no further attempts to disturb
order there.
The chamber of deputies has passed,
practically unanimously, all the
clauses of the wine frauds bill previ-
ously adopted separately, thus en-
abling the government to put the
measure into immediate effect and re-
move the principal grievances of the
wine growers. The remainder of the
clauses of the bill will be taken up
without delay. - ~.

ABOUT TWO HUNDRED OUT
Status Of Photographers Strike at San
Francisco.

San Francisco, June 24-The situa-
ton here in connection with the
strike of the telegraph operators is
quiet In all about 200 men are out
upon conservative estimate, and the
service is now maintained in the
offices of both companies by officials,
including chief operators and wire
chiefs, together with several men and
women who have remained loyal.
General Superintendent F. Jaynes
Of the Western Union company is &C.
credited with the statement that the
company hopes to be running fairly
well In another week, when outside
operators were expected to arrive to
fill the places of the strikers.
AS to whether the strike shall be
ordered to extend to other cities re-
mains to be determined. The Postal
and Western Union officials insist that
they will hold no conferences with the
officials of the union. If they remain
obdurate the telegraphers in other
cities may be called out, thus tying
up all the commercial telegraph bust
ness Of. the West.

RADIO Said to Re Among Those Who
Must Answer Charges
Denver, June 24.-The News says
sixty Or more indictments will be re-
turned by the special federal grand
jury which has been in session since
May IA investigating coal and timber
frauds in Colorado and other Western
states The jury will report to Judge
Lewis.
Among those indicted will be at
least ten Denver men, among them
millionaire officials Of at least one
railroad company. Officers and sew
eral stockholders Of Milwaukee and
st. Louis coal companies doing bust
ness in Colorado also will probably be
dragged into the net.
It Is not likely that bench warrants
will be issued by Judge Lewis for the
arrest of the persons indicted for sew

PLAN NEARLY COMPLETED
Oil Trust Will Soon Own Transcon.
tinentaI Railroad

Washington, June 24.-The Stand
ard Oil company will within two years
own and operate complete trans.
continental railroad system, in the
opinion Of those here familiar with
such matters. This line will extend
from the Atlantic tidewater at New
port News, Va, to Seattle and Port
land by way of Chicago. Every mile
will be controlled by the Standard Oil
interests and from the day it opens it
will be the most potent transportation
influence on the continent
The new road will be in a position
to compete for the grain business
which comes down from Duluth and
Chicago and for the business of sup
plying coal to the Northwest. Part Of
the plan is to develop Newport News
as a great port of export. The con-
troll of the road is to be within the
Standard Oil group, so that if neces-
sary at any time in the future it can
be used as an instrument for punish
ing competing roads which manifest
hostility to the big oil concern.

Motion for Directed Verdict in Hay.

Boise, Ida, June 24.-On motion of
the defense to take the Haywood case
from the jury and instruct for an &C
quittal on the states evidence there
were four hours Of argument. Rich
ardson and barrow, for the defense,
made eloquent pleas for Haywood.
Senator Rorah combatted the pleas Of
the defense and asserted that the
state had proven a general conspiracy,
of which Governor Steunenberg was
the victim, among the officers of the
Western Federation of Miners and
that the issue should go to the jury.
Judge Wood made an immediate rul-
ing. He said:
''The court is satisfied that this Is a
case which should be submitted to
the jury Ordinarily it would be the
duty Of the court to give his reasons
for a decision in such an important
matter. This would be done in this
instance were it not that others are
involved besides this defendant. Three
others are accused and two are in
Jail awaiting trial. The motion is
overruled.'

which has taxed the Inventive minds
of engineers all over the world. A
basin with an area Of little over one
square mile is being used for the op-
erations and a twelve-foot rise in the
tide there makes 1t well adapted for
the work
The promoters of the experiment
plan to store. the tide power in COM
pressed air apparatus and transmit it
to lime quarries and factories along
the coast by means of a pipe line.
1t is estimated that at least 5000
horsepower can be generated by the
new process and the power can be
distributed from the plant through
the pipe line anywhere within radius
of twenty miles.
The great rise and fall Of the tide
along the Maine coast is peculiarly
adapted for such experiments. And if
the present one proves successful it
is probable that attempts to save the
wasted power will be made at other
points along the coast, where, in many
cases, the facilities are as good as
those here.
