CHILD LABOR BILL
DOLLNER'S PLAN
FOR THE DISTRICT
Measure Will Be intro
duced in Senate-Can't
Work Under Fourteen.

Senator DOl1iver. chairman of the
Committee on Education and Labor,
said today tnat a bill to prohibit child
labor in the District OF Columbia would
be introduced In the Senate in short
time and that it would undoubtedly be
pressed TO an early passage.
Senator Dolliver has been taking q
deep interest IN the question Of child
labor, lie is convinced Of the Importance
of its regulation, believes it has a pro-
found bearing on the future welfare OF
the country and he Is anxious 20 see
legislation passed which viii reach CON
ditioDs in the city OF Washington anu
the District. II necessary, he Will HIM
self Introduce a bill on the subject
which will be substantially the bill Sem
ato,' Dubois had before the Senate last
sesslon.
The bill before Congress last session
aimed to prevent the employment of
children under fourteen years OF age in
workshops, mercantile establishments.
business offices, telegraph Offices, res
taurants. hotels. apartment houses, the
aters. bowling alleys. messenger work
or in the sale of newspapers. As to
these occupations. the prohibitions were
complete.
Protect Health and ITorals.
The bill also sought 10 prevent alto
gether the employment OF children under
fourteen in those occupations which un-
dermine their strength OF expose them
TO temptations and moral 1anger. Il
was also sought to prevent children un-
der sixteen froIa engaging in the occuz
patons mentioned at such times as IN
terfere with school duties. As 70 chill
dren under sixteen. night work would
be by this proposed legislation pro-
hihited and the hours Of labor regulated.
Last session the Senate Committee on
Education and Labor reported the bill
In question favorably. But It was reEer
disposed OF by the Senate The fact
that Senator Beverldge proposed to add
to this bill applying to the District OF
Columbia his bill for the general re-
strictlOn OF child labor made 10 difficult
for the Dubois bill to get consideration.
This session Senator Dolliver expects
the District OF Columbia bill 10 be dis
posed Of without reference 10 the regu-
lation Of child labor IN the country at
large
II is urged tnat the District Of Colum-
bia is entirely without legal restrictions
upon child labor. and the result Is that
hundreds Of children under sixteen have
been crowded into all sorts OF Occupa-
uOns, many OF them detrimental 10 the
morals Of the children. and all OF them
inimical TO the system Of public educa-
ton.

Veteran.

Commander Holman Vail. L. S. N,
retired. who died suddenly in his apart
ments in the Farragut last evening. will
be buried in Indiana, his native state.
Arrangements for tke funeral have not
yet been completed. and none Of the
details will be settled pending the ar
rival in this city Of the brother OF Mrs.
Vail. who is on his way to this city
from Indiana, IN response to a telegram.
Commander Vail was stricken sud
denly. an attack of acute Indigestion
coming shortly after o'clock last even
ing. He died few moments later
Drs. Dixon, Briscoe. and Reisihger were
hastily summoned, but they could do
nothing for him. The commander was
at his desk IN the photographic office
of the Navy Department as usual yes
terday and was apparently in the best
of health
Mrs. Vail, who survives him. and her
young daughter were Frustrated by the
shock Navy officials and his fellow
workers in the photographic Office were
also greatly shocked and could scarcely
believe that the man who was among
them only yesterday had passed away.
Commander Vail was appointed to the
navy from Indiana September, 1861. For
twenty-nine years he served actively on
sea and shore, serving meritoriously in
the civil war. He was placed upon the
retired list in December. 1880. and since
that time has been on duty in the
photographic office.

DEMOCRATS MEET
TOMORROW NIGHT
May Decide on FilibuSter in
House to Aid Tariff
Revision.

Democrats In the House Of Represent
atives will hold n caucus tomorrow
night TO decide whether they VIII un-
dertaSe an all-session hlibuster which
shall end only on the condition that the
Republicans bring in a bill for a re-
vision OF the tariff.
1t as on this subject that they ad-
journed their caucus in confusion Satur-
day afternoon on the motion Of Bourke
Cochran, of New York. Representative
James Hav Of Virginia introduced a
resolution providing that the Democrats
refuse all unanimous consent for the
transaction OF business until the tarin
revision bill should be brought in. The
Adjournment was taken Immediately.
Tomorrow night Mr.. Hay will call up
his resolution under the head OF ''un-
finished business" The caucus was call
ed today by its chairman, Representative
Clayton. twenty-seven Democrats hav-
ing affixed their signatures TO the petl-
ton that a caucus be held.
Two other resolutions will be intro
duced in the caucus. One, by Mr.. Jones
of Virginia, viii provide that the selec-
ton of minority members for the House
Committees be made by the Speaker in
stead of by the minority leader, and
the other. by Representative Henry Of
Texas, will provide that the chairman
OF the caucus appoint a committee OF
five Democrats TO decide on what ag-
gressive policies the Democracy in the
House will follow during this Congress.
Each Of the three resolutions, it is
thought. will cause a fight, and the
prospects are now that there will be
lively times in the caucus.
The adoption Of the Hay resolution
would mean that every day member OF
the minority would refuse unanimous
consent for the transaction of any and
all business, so jhat the progress OF leg
islatlon by the Republicans would be
greatly retarded. 1t is doubtful II Mr..
Hay has any hope Of securing a tariff
revision bill. but he considers this means
as the best way Of impressing On-the
country that the Democrats believe re-
vision is the best way TO control the
corporations and that they viii do any
thing possible TO secure Il.

A strong feeling prevails in Congress
that cnild labor regulation should be

that II Congress takes up child labor in

Customers Will Be Kept
Only 80 Seconds Instead
of l 1-2 Minutes.

Postmaster Barnes and the superin-
tendentNof the registry division of the
Washington city postoffice. Granville
n Hunt. are determined that Santa
Claus shall have no just ground for
complaint against the dispatch of his
Christmas presents this year.
The registry division has undergone
a number of Improvements recently that
are calculated to Increase its efficiency.
new form Of registry receipt Just
adopted makes it possible 20 handl8 a
letter or package submitted for regis
tration in about thirty seconds, whereas
under the old form the customer was
detained on an average Of one and one
half minutes. This saving Of time will
be of vast Importance during the Christ
mas rush.
Time has not only been saved By the
simplifying OF the registry form, but
the safety TO the parcels is guarded by
system Of time checks and indorse-
ments. From the time a registered piece
IS handed in by a patron until IL is
finally delivered to the address the time
it is handled by each employe is indi-
Gated either on the parcel or the vari-
GUS registry receipt books, each sue
ceeding clerk or mail agent receipting 10
tho previous one.
