RIGHTS OF WOMEN.
Justice Brewer Holds They Are Para
mount to Those of Men.

Washington, Feb. 25.-That laun-
dries and other concerns employing
females in mechanical labor in Oregon
may not require such employees to
work more than ten hours a day in
compliance with the law enacted by
the legislature of that state in 1908, is
proclaimed by the supreme court of
the United States in the case of Curt
Muller, laundryman doing business
in Portland. versus the State OF Ore
gon.
Muller attacked the law as being
unconstitutional, claiming that 1t puts
a limitation on the power Of contract.
The Oregon supreme court upheld the
statute on the ground that it is a po-
lice regulation, and It's decision was
affirmed by the federal supreme court
in its ruling. The opinion was by JUS
tiCe Brewer.
Holding first that women's rights
can be no more infringed than those
of men, Justice Brewer went still fur

though all restrictions on political,

RAILROADS CHANGE POLICY.
Men VIII Be Dismissed in Preference
to Cutting Wages.

Washington, Feb. 25.-The retrench-
ment policy to be pursued by the rail-
roads has been materially affected by
the presidents letter to the interstate
commerce committee. directing that an
investigation be made to see whether
the earnings Of the roads justify the
wholesale cuts in wages which the pres
ident has been informed are about to
be made. 1t Is learned from the Off
Gals and counseloEs Of about fifteen
railroad systems, who are now in Wash
ington, that the roads will resort to
disn1issals instead of reductions in
wages.
The railroad men state that it is es-
sential that the roads practice econo-
mics to meet the shrinkage in revenues
growing out Of loss of business.
The original programme was to retain
the bulk of the working forces and eff
feet savings by reducing wages all
around. They now say that the presi-
dents letter has rendered this plan i'm
practicable, and, instead, they will re-
sort to dismissals.
President Mellen, of the New York,
New Haven & Hartford railroad, who
had a talk with the president last night,
indicated today that this will be the
policy of his road and Of other sys-
