 This means taking the work from about 400 men in the Pittsburg dis trict, and many of them own their own homes at McKees Rocks. The work men will be permitted to retain their jobs if they move with the railroad in to Ohio, however.
 Recently the New York Central wanted to remove it's shops from Me Kees Rocks to Newell, Pa, thirty miles, but there was such a shout from the unions and threats made to strike that the company apparently yielded to the demands of the workmen and announced that for a time, at least, the headquarters would not be taken from McKees Rocks. In the mean time steps were taken to remove the headquarters of the motive power out of the Pittsburg district entirely.

Against Unsexing Law

Editor of The Farmer, Sir:
 notice that a bill has passed the House at Hartford, permitting the un- sexing of a certain class of females called degenerates. This bill confers upon certain men of the medical pro fession power with which no human being ought to be entrusted. What is legeneracy often times but a matter of environment. Is it not a well known act that children of these same de- generates when placed in a suitable environment make reputable citizens? Has medical science become all at once such an exact science that the tate can afford to confer on the class If men who generally get appointed to ,ur public institutions the privilege of determining this question. Have they hown such superior wisdom in mat CTS medical in the past that they hould be entrusted with such powers? Vhy is not this law made operative n both sexes? Are there not degen- rate males also? Perhaps the doctor was looking out for his own safety. In my opinion the first one to be acted upon under the law is the man who in the light of the 2cth century civiliza-- ton and progress could have the un- paralleled effrontery to present such a bill.
