In conclusion he says, that he ravors the
enactment of all laws necessary to the
maintenance in their full and unimpaired
force to the reserved rights of the states
Continuing. he says: THE tendency to CEN
traliZation in the general government of
all powers has so increased of late years
as to constitute a real and impending evil
and menace. 1t is gravely urged in Con-
gress that the general government shall
take charge of all marriage and divorce
laws, and the management of all factories
in the states. far as is concerned the
hours of labor and ages of their employees
These are mere illustrations of many
other proposed measures that seek to in
wade the reserved rights Of the states"

1t was in recognition OF this faithful service
that the company has given the reward
In addition to the local employees who will
benefit, there are perhaps 200 more on the
Northern Central division to Harrisburg
and the Philadelphia, Baltimore and Wash
ington division to Philadelphia who
affected by the order. The order includes
agents at local stations as well as those at
terminal points. That will mean an increase
OF $500 a month additional to be disbursed
from Baltimore to find its way into the
hands of those employed in its vicinity.
That is $4,000 more a year. SO that the
Pennsylvania railroad will pay out at least
$4,000 year, and perhaps more, to be
spent In Baltimore.
The appreciation by the company of the
faithful service OF It's men Is not confined
to Baltimore. 1t extends over the whole
system. The effort has been. II was ex-
planned. to eQuaIixe, SO far as possible, the
pay OF the clerks and agents at all centers
and similar points of traffic accumulation.
Under the new rule, for instance a clerk or
an agent doing work Of the same class will
receive the same pay, whether the service
be done In Jersey City,. Philadelphia. Balti-
more. PittsburG or elsewhere.
