SPRING IN MlDwlNTER
Weather Samples of All Varieties in
Weeks Time


1t seems that Dame Nature has been
intent the last few days on showing
the versatility of her moods. Within
the passing of a week she has freely
distributed a wide range of samples,
including winters extreme Brightness,
a snowfall which approached the
severity of a blizzard, a day of sleet
and rain which resulted in about as
liberal an amount of undesirable slush
as ever happened, day of slippery
surfaces, when one pranced along the
walks as though in fear of hurting
the bricks under his feet, and today,
as if to partly compensate for the tor
ture of its preceding varieties, as
balmy day as ever occurs in mid
spring. Indeed, one person vouched
for having heard a robin, and because
of the loneliness of the day he was al
lowed to continue his way unmolested:
The pessimist argued: wait till the
end of the week. but his opponent
made use of what was here and went
on his way smiling. Let it suffice to
say that the day is about as rare a
one for February as is recorded on the
minds of the octogenarians. that is,
taking it from the, rubber tops up.

GIVES NO RELIEF
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion Declines to Suspend
the 9-Hour Law
APPLYING TO RAILROADS
Holds Congress Has Decided and Con-
tention of Financial Loss Has
No. Weight Now.

Washington, Feb. IAN important
the interstate commerce commission
respecting its attitude toward the re-
quest recently made by railroads that
the so-called nine-hour law, relating to
the employment of train dispatchers,
telegraph operators and tower men be
suspended by the commission until
such time as the law could be amend
ed to meet the desires of all concerned
Fnc commission holds in brief that it
has no authority to extend the time
or suspend operation of the law except
in a particular case or cases when a
hearing has been held and good cause
shown for the extension asked. The
law goes into effect March 4 next.
Not Justified in Doubt.
The commission expresses the opin-
ion that good cause for extension is
rot shown when it is merely alleged
| or made to appear that the law ought
not to be enforced at certain stations
or classes of stations because the num-
| DeI VI Tram OIuSTS udHuleu Is Sllldll
and that there is mo need" of increas-
| ing the force OF employees. Neither
would it be goo / cause, as they be-
lieve, to show that additional opera
tors cannot be obtained at wages here
tofOre offered. II appears reasonably
certain that higher wages would pro
cure the requisite number.
| Financial Hardship No Object.
These are purely questions of legis
lative policy whichegmust have been
and were determined by congress ad
versely TO the carriers. and the com
mission has not the right or author
ity to postpone the taking effect Of
this law merely because its observ
ance will involve inconvenience an(
!, financial hardship.
I'VE are also of the opinion tina
such power as we have must be ex
ercised before the law takes effect
Our power is to extend the period
allowed for preparation. not the powe
to suspend after the law has become
obligatory. Therefore we can AFFORD
TO relief after the fourth of March ex
!, cept in particular cases where exten
sions may have been granted prior Il

Labor is to have a newspaper system

prise capitalized, ii Is said, TO the ex-
tent Of issuing a paper 10 the cities
Of New York, Philadelphia, Washing

the syndicate In this city said few
days ago that publication would begin
Sept. ! and that the policy OF the COM
pany would be one OF ultra conserve

labor movement from merging with
the more radical socialistic element that
has been making great inroads on the
membership OF the unions composing

sfF VIEW
As result Of their activity the
trades unions Of Ohio have secured
the passage Of two bills BY the pres
ent Legislature which are Of practical
benefit, the Reynolds child labor Bill
ana the MetzGer employers liability
blll. The first ONE, introduced BY Rep
resentatiye Reynolds, member Of
the executive board Of the Interna-
tional Association OF Machinists. pro-
vides that no child under fourteen
years Of age can be employed ana
none under sixteen years employed
more than eight bours a day. The
Metzger bin Il IN substance the same
as the national employers liability
bill. The initiative and referendum
was defeated, however,, aud the Tole-
DO Union Leader asserts that this ac-
ton means complete obedience to
those who fear placing weapon 10
the peoples hands whereby they could
rule themselves.
