Relating To Employment of
Help In Stores and
Shops.
HOUR WEEK
Is All The Law Allows = Governor
Warner Has Signed
The Bill.

A law, which, when 1t goes into
effect and IL enforced, promises to be
a great benefit to women and child
rem is the new labor bill which was
passed by the legislature. The bill,
as passed makes some radical changes
and will affect all classes of labor
where children and women are en-
ployed, in both shortening the hours
in which they are to work and in
making 1T mandatory upon firms en-
ploying women to furnish them with
suitable seats and not compelling
them to stand on their feet during
their working hours.
Women are also given protection
in that they cannot be employed from
the hours of 6 p. m. to a. m, under
Is years of age, nor can men or W.
men under the age of g be employed
mort than 54 hours per week, nor can
they work more than 10 hours in
one day.
The bill is quite lengthy and takes
up the method of carrying on this
work factory inspection, coal mine
inspection and several other phases
of the labor problem, and tends to
improve the laboring conditions, and
is another of the better class of bills
passed by the last legislature.
No male under the age of 1S years,
and no female, shall be employed in
any factory, warehouse, workshop,
clothing, dressmaking or millinery
establishment, or any place where
the manufacture of any kind of goods
is carried on, or where any goods are
prepared for manufacturing, or in
any laundry, store, shop or any other
mercantile establishment, for a per-
iod longer than an average of nine
hours in a day or 81 hours in any
week, nor more than ten hours in any
one day. Provided, however, that
the provisions of this section in re-
lation to the hours of employment
shall not apply to nor affect any per-
son engaged in preserving perishable
goods in fruit and vegetable canning
establishments. No female under
the age of Is years shall be employ
ed in any manufacturing establish
ment between the hours o'clock
d. m. and o'clock a. m. No child
under the age of 16 years shall be
employed in any manufacturing es-
tablishment or workshop, mine or
messenger service in this state be-
tween the hours of 6 o'clock p. m.
and o'clock a. m. except as mes
sengers for a postal telegraph or
telephone company or in the postal
service of the United States.

but what anyone of you old veterans
would give il the same definition.
War is not always evil. There are
times when the end to be obtained
makes ii just and imperative. Such a
war was the one in which you were en-
gagged. War represents great cause.
The nations which have gone down in
peace might have been as strong again
if they had had war.
When they went into war in 6l o '64
they did not stop to think of the posi-
BILE results To themselves. They thought
only of the cause which they espoused.
No man can be in the presence of any
great cause without becoming imbued
with the cause. When this nation went
into war it was TO redeem itself. The
principles planted by our forefathers
were at stake and ii fell to your lot TO
maintain them. War makes men chiv-
alrous if they fight for cause. Splen-
did men came after the war.

your war hsa passed, let hatred die.
God was in the fight and right pre-
vailed and he has scattered those who
delight in war while the nations hosts
with one accord praise the name of the
great statesman, who by his magnlfi-
cent character and majestic manhood
broke down the barriers of hatred and
by his diplomacy brought the hearts of
the blue and the hearts of the gray into
fellowship one with another.
AT the close of the sermon Mrs. Geo.
W. Fish in behalf of the w. H. G. pre-
sented the rector and society with a
beautiful flag. Her address was one of
beautiful words and patriotic thoughts
and touched the hearts of all present.
Rev. Jackson, in behalf of the society
thanked the ladies for the beautiful
gift and assured them that the flag
would ever be placed where its wavy
folds should inspire his people with
patriotism.

excellent remarks showing that he is
familiar with what Decoration day
stands for and introduced Comrade
Wilbur III. Locke who read Lincoln IS
Gettysburg address. After singing the
"Star Spangled Banner" Rev. Edrie
Collins was introduced and made a
most excellent address. He began by
relating witty Irish story saying he
had right TO do so because he was
three-quarters Irish himself. He spoke
briefly OF the sacrifice made in 1851 -64,
i'm preserving the union of states. He
paid eloquent tribute To the soldier and
sailor who went into battle and also 10
the loyal wives and daughters who re-
mained at home giving aid and en-.
couragement i'm the trying hour. Az
ter singing "America," Rev. G.. w.
Maxwell pronounced the benediction.

give evidence that soon their tread will
be heard no more TO assist in the an

The Memorial day services were held
in the Holy Trinity Mission church
Sunday morning and were well at
tended, the services throughout being
most impressive. Rev. j. Frank Jack
son preached a most excellent and in
teresting sermon from portion of the
both verse of the 6Sth Psalm: "Scatter
thou the people that delight in war"
He said in part: II am reminded
this morning as | look down into the
faces of these old veterans of two COM
panionion pictures which | saw when

was named "War" tried in its meek
way to impress upon those who saw it,
the awfullness of war, showing fences
homes and vegetation in a most dis
rupted and broken down condition.
The other one marked "Peace" showed
the direct opposite with every thing in
the picture in thrifty aud prosperous

Ireland he said, was helping herself.
Seven times since 1885 she had sent
four-ffths of her representatives to de-

considerable funds for twenty-five
years in support of home rule and

many instances the tenant might have
made q better bargain. 1t freed the
tenant from every symbol of landlord
ism. One-third Of all the land and
practically all Wexford were now in
the hands of the tenants. A tenant
owner became a better Nationalist,
appreciating more keenly the ineffi-
cheney and stupidity OF the present
government
"Of course" said Mr.. O'Connor, "Ire-

congested districts was still serious
one and probably the Improvement In
this regard is not so great.

new Dreaduoughts among New York's
tall buildings.
