Begin in Two Weeks if
Weather Permits

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.

commence grading for our plant inside
of two weeks should the snow disap-
pear and the weather permit us to DO
So" were the encouraging words Of
General Superintendent Arthur Simon
son, Of the Tropenas Steel Company,
last night to City Council. The grade
of Seventh street is several feet above
its present state, and to erect the build
ings of the Tropenas Company would
cause considerable inconvenience. City

ed Broad street station it was only to
find that the Wilmington train was
gone. Then he waited for the next
train and when he arrived at Fourth
and French streets in Wilmington he
discovered that the New Castle car on
its forty-minute schedule had left two
minutes earlier. The members of Coun-
Gil waited until 9.40, when Mr. Simon
son arrived.
In addressing Council he said that
contractors in Wilmington are now
estimating on the office building. and if
there is a change in weather condi-
tions the grading win commence inside
of two weeks. The foundry building
will be placed along the Delaware rail-
road and the Office building at Seventh
and Larkins streets.
TO CHANGE THE GRADE.
Council passed a resolution request
ing City Solicitor Cooper to prepare an
ordinance repeating the one setting the
Seventh street grade at seven feet
above the present street bed and to
place the grade at it's present bed.
Council accepted an invitation to at
tend the housing of the Good VIII Fire
Company's apparatus on Washington
Birthday and the fire committee will
arrange for carriages. The bills con-
tracted by the Board of Health were
ordered paid.

CANNOT EXTEND
NINE-HOUR Law
Clear Definition Of Attitude
Given by Commerce
Commission

WASHINGTON, Feb 12-Clear, sharp
definition Of the attitude of the Inter

extend" the provisions Of the law which
will go into effect March after that date;
that any Extension" must be in the ma
ture Of exercise OF a power enjoyed before
the law takes effect. No relief can be
granted by the commission, 1t says after
March 4 except in the particular cases
where extensions may have been granted
prior TO that day
Operating vice-presidents of numerous
railroads recently appealed to the COM
mission for the suspension of the law pro-
viding that no more than nine hours be
devoted TO labor by train dispatchers,
telegraph operators and towermen until
such time as the law could be amended
TO meet the designs Of all concerned "

was misunderstood made the statement
that outlines its attitude concisely.

ators IN Julian, Pa, and followed the

AS we hear the whir Of the dynamo
or listen at the telephone, as we turn
the button Of an incandescent lamp or
travel in an electromobile, we are par
takers in a revolution more swift and
profound than has ever before been
enacted upon earth. Until the nine
teenth century fire was justly account
ed the most useful and versatile serv-
ant Of man. Today electricity is doing
all that fire ever did and doing it bet
ter while it accomplishes uncounted
tasks far beyond the reach of fame.
however ingenlously applied. We may
thus observe under our eyes just such
an impetus to human intelligence and
power as when fire was first subdued
to the purposes Of man, with the Inn
mense advantage that, whereas the
subjugation of fire demanded ages of
weary and uncertain experiment, the
mastery Of electricity is for the most
part the assured work Of the nine
teenth century and in truth very large
ly of its last three decades. 1t begins

one Seam Eor Fifteen Years.

II has been said that the most mo-
notonous form of labor is cumming
labels. But there are many others
which come very near it. In the boot
and shoe trade, for instance, the work
is divided among as many workers as
possible. One will thus make a single
cut in the leather and another give one
turn of the machine handle. In some
cases a pair Of shoes have passed
through fifteen pairs of hands before
reaching completion. AS natural re-
suit, there are workers who week after
week go on performing the same work
hundreds of times a day. Indeed In
one factory there is a woman who for
fifteen years has sewed only one seam.
Her machine works so rapidly that she
spends as much time inserting and
withdrawing her work as in the actual
