 fne Office of the Commissioner.
 Labor Commissioner William H. Sco- yille has published bulletin, detailing the doings of his bureau during the year 1909.
 The opening pages of the bulletin are devoted to brief review of the various subjects treated upon,
 In his reference to New Factory or Mill Construction Commissioner Scoville says: "It will be interesting to note that the expenditures for the purpose indi- cated, during the year 1908 amounted to $1. .791, ,167, while during the correspond ing period of 1909 the sum expended was $2, ,064, 100, an increase of $272, ,933 or 15 9 per cent"
 Space In the bulletin is given to 8 brief description of the operation of the "Tene- ment House Act" in the six cities to which the law applies. The work &C., complished by the five free public em- ployment bureaus is treated upon and h btsLbCAnOAb All OA O1buhOAOuo bO~ cured for the unemployed is printed as is also brief description of the system adopted and in use by the Superinten- dents of the offices which, the Commits sioner says, "has proven 8 great improve ment Tn material results attained"
 Regarding labor disturbances such as are characterized as ''strikes and lock- outs" in the bulletin, Commissioner Scoville reports as being flew in mum Der during the year and are distinguished for the entire absence of any resemblance of lawlessness; the most important of these difficulties was that having refer ence to use of the union label in the hating industry with it's resultant seri- ous loss in time and in wages"
 A complete directory of the labor or ganizatIons in the state appears ill the bulletin as does a revision of Connecticut | Labor Laws and a resume of legislation relating to the interest of labor intro duced into and rejected by the General Assembly of 1909.
 III lSl6EElup lO JHe EoCeuI N0EuICb lu the "hatters' case' the bulletin says: "The important principle was decided that labor organizations have no special 1 rights under the antitrust law and must suffer legal penalties for intimida- tion and similar restraints on trade and commerce. just as any other corporation or organization must which undertakes to use an illegal weapon like the black list or secondary boycott. Analysing the decision, it is plain that under it an en- ploying firm or corporation is entitled to discharge its employees, if contracts do not prevent, and the employees have a right to agree not to use the articles manufactured by the employer. The ! boycotted concern is not entitled to con- spire with other concerns which do em- ploy them. Similarly the boycotters S must not use intimidation to discourage outsiders from handling or buying the boycotted firms products. Briefly stated the parties to the quarrel must deal each with the other and refrain from draw ing innocent third parties into the con- troversey."
 The bulletin also contains brief ex. cerpts from thesis by LiHdley D. Clark A. M, IL. D. upon the legal liability of employers for injuries to their employees

work of her daily lie, a woman must
undergo unusual demands upon her
strength at special times. Unless the
blood is fortified to meet these added

One OF the most common forms OF
weakness due to impoverished blood and

as a party. are afraid of the prohibit
ton question in this state. No county
conventions have yet been held, and
the fight is altogether among the lead
ArS. The county option side of the
question is cspGused by William j.
Bryan. " 10 is practically alone, 50 far
is the old-line leaders are concerned
Mr.. Bryan is engaged in a desperate
effort to save the Democratic party
rom ITSELF and he is reading out of
the party ranks many of the leaders
VINO oppose him Whether these men
will remain outside, at Bryan'S best is
a question.
Since opening his campaign Bryan
has publicly notified nine Democratic
state senators that they are not true
Democrats. and he has called upon the
tricts to repudiate them. The offence
committed by these men is that they
are opposed to Bryan and in favor of
Whiskey. Governor Shallenberger is
seeking reelection on an eight o'clock
closing program for saloons. Dahl
man is candidate for governor on an
out-and-out "whiskey" platform. while
Hitchcock, who is editor and owner of
the Omaha World Herald and cand-
date for ths United States Senate, is
opposed to County option. Whether
the Democratic voters will follow
Bryan into prohibition or will stand
pat for personal liberty" will not be
known until election night.

there is conflict Six Of the seventeen
members of the state Anti Saloon
League executive committee have re-
signed because of differences with the
other members, and there has been or
ganized, by these six deserving mem
hers. the Nebraska State County OPP
ton League. This league will fight
the Anti Saloon League in every way
POSSIBLE, and in turn will receive no
support from the anti saloon people.
Deep down among the voters of all
parties, however, there is a strong
feeling in favor of prohibition-of
either the county option or absolute"
brand, and when the time of election
comes, there may be 50 many of the
rank and file of both parties voting in
favor of prohibition as to place either
county option or. a straight prohibits
ton law on the statute books, despite
the efforts of the leaders to sidetrack
the measure.
