Those who passed the resolution prob

Chances in the House.
Mr.. La Toilette introduced the original
bill last March AS he first drafted it, the
measure was much milder than as it
finally passed The original bill simply
left it to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, on complaint, to investigate and
order any road working its employees TO
limit the hours of service. This would
have made It necessary to afford relief
in every separate case. Now the law Is
general, and applies to every road at
once. The bin was before the Senate in
the closing hours Of last session. BY
persistent effort the Wisconsin Senator
had IT made the unfinished business, and
fixed yesterday for vote. There was
much opposition TO the form OF the bill,
and nearly fifty amendments We're offered,
but Mr. La Follett finally rescued Il from
the tangle by his substitute, presented at
the eleventh hour. Senator Teller said
Yesterday it would not become law IN
this Congress, which would mean that
the work on the bill would have 20 be
gone over again. But Mr. La Toilette
believes the present House viii pass the
bill The measure was supported by the
legislative representatives Of the railroad
br0theTh0ods, although trainmcn on some
Of the Western roads which have long
hours under a piecework system opposed
it.

TARIFF LABELS ON PACKAGES.
Representative De Almond Proposes
NnreI scheme

A most unique tariff bin was introduced
in the House yesterday by Judge De Ar

goods Of domestic manufacture on which
the rate of duty is 80 per cent or more,
and which come into competition with
foreign-made goods Of ike character,

schedule and the rate Of duty on the
article.
To remove the label except by the per-
son who has purchased such goods for
actual use or consumption. is an offense
punishable by a fine not exceeding 5000,
or Imprisonment for not more than one
year
Judge De Almond IS quite in earnest
He says that his plan would be "a means
Of educating the people as 20 the precise
application Of the present tariff. which is
something TO which they are entitled. In
asmuch as they pay the taxes imposed.
He thinks that gradually the inequalities
and hardships that are claimed or ad-
mitted To exist IN the present schedule
would be made clear.
The bill was referred To the Ways and
Means Committee, and the general opin-
ion IS that fl never viii Dc heard from

ing the night and about $25 worth
OF pocket knives taken An en-
trance was forced through lower
window. No one In the neighborhood

as yet has not given out any clew to
the perpetrators OF the break.
The burglary was done I'm a very
quiet manner. The sash OF the lower
west side window was raised and
through this the burglar crawled. All
the show cases were visited. but nothing
from them was taken except that one
which contained the pocket knives. The
dollar knives were selected and 20 OF
them were taken away. The cash regis
ter was also opened, but only 80 pen

The burglar escaped as noislessly as
he had come. The people thereabouts
seem TO be OF the opinion that the
break is the act OF local person.
