NEW STATE LABORING LAWS
-CANADA'S STATE ARBI-
TRATION ACT - TELEGRA-
Pliers SHORT-DAY FIGHT.

In nearly every state in the un-
ion in which legislatures are in
session this winter the organized
working people are making ag-
gressive efforts to secure the en-
actment of laws to improve the
lot of the laboring class. In most
of the states these demands take
the shape of further restricting
woman and child labor, passage of
employers liability laws, inspec-
ton Of workshops and factories,
better sanitary regulations. etc.
In Maine, Massachusetts, and
Rhode Island new laws have Just
taken effect prohibiting the en-
Payment of women more than 81
hours a week in manufactures
and commercial establishments,
and in Ohio and several other
states the unionists are endeavor-
ing to secure laws fixing a mini
mum of eight hours day for
women toilers. In the Buckeye
state children are already prohib-
tied from working nights, while
girls under Is and boys under 16
may not work longer than eight
hours in the day time.
Similar laws have been gained
in New York state, and Missouri
has abolished night work FOR chill
dren under 16 and arranged a
nine-hour limit for day work.
Boys and girls will not longer be
permitted to work on dangerous
machinery, or about acids, paint
or white lead in Minnesota. Con-
siderable progress is also being
made in Iowa. Wisconsin, Nebras-
ka, New Jersey, Illinois, Oklaho-
ma, Michigan and other states.
One of the most important ex-
periments in the matter of concil-
iation and arbitration ever at
tempted on this continent was the
test Of the Canadian industrial
disputes act, which has Just had a
two-year trial and which was
watched with keen interest on
both sides of the boundary line.
The Canadian minister of labor
has made a report showing that
during the past two years 55 dis
putes were officially brought to
the attention of the proper au-
thorities, and of this number all
but two were settled without re-
sorting to strikes and lockouts. In
the two exceptions noted the find
ings OF the Cancellation board
were finally accepted.
The Canadian Cancellation and
arbitration act virtually compels
employers to recognize unions and
to treat with committees through
government officials. 1t also pro-
tects employers from sudden walk
outs and consequent business
losses. While in the main the law
appears to be satisfactory to both
sides, the labor people are at pres
ent seeking to secure the adoption
of several amendments in parlia-
ment which they believe will re-
move some minor objections that
have been raised.
1t is quite likely that the Can
adam Cancellation and arbitration
act will serve as a model after
which some of the states will pat
tern laws.

attempting to minimize the eff
fectiveness of the national employ
ers' liability law by enforcing the

corporation by which he Is employ
ed is incorporated. still another
Iaw-that of restricting the work
ing hours of telegraphers to nine
hours per days now compelled
to run the gauntlet.
When the law was pressed
through congress the telegraphers
were aiming to abolish 12-hour
shifts and substitute eight-hour
shifts. This change, besides pre-
venting overwork and increasing
the safety of the travelling public,
was also designed to furnish en-
ployment for idle operators.
But the corporations are uncon-
WINGED of the economy or justice
of the act, and, led by the Santa
Fe railway, they attacked the
nine-hour law and have just won
the first round in the United
States circuit court of appeals at
Chicago. The Santa Fe cut the
nine-hour day into two periods
with an intermission of three
hours in the test case made, and
AYERS that its employees had not
been on duty more than nine
hours. The government, which is
prosecuting the case. claims that
the three-hour intermission is
part of the days work. Judges
Grosscup, Baker and Seaman de-
cided in favor of the railway and
now it looks as though another
labor law is going to be smashed
into smithereens.
In Baltimore the cloakmakers
on strike at large factory are
wondering whether they must be-
come aviators to obey the injunc-
ton and keep out of jail. Nearly
all the strikers live in the vicin-
ity of the factory, and in granting
an injunction against them a court
prohibits the cloakmakers from
|picketing or congregating or walk
ing in the vicinity of the struck
establishment. The strikers are
at loss as to how they can get
in and out of their houses, except
by the airship route, without be-
ing lin the vicinity.

He Got Value Received

A RECENT graduate OF tho Ohio state uni
Il Versity, before engaging in farming on
his own account on a portion of his fathers
farm, kept In mind for four or five months
the problem OF getting q complete equipment
within his means. He first noted all the
items which ne considered necessary. basng

ond step consisted OF the task OF obtaining
the net retail prices of the various articles
The result was total so large that the third
and most difficult step. that OF determining
the actual necessities, was pursued for CON
siderable time. Having finally reduced his
list to the minimum lie entered into nego-
tlatons with several Of the local merchants
TWO of these made special efforts TO obtain
his order. and each made the suggestion that
he take a trip at the merchants expense to
one OF the cities in the state and select his
equipment from the large stocks in the
wholesale supply houses He accepted one
OF these offers. and during the state fair
spent a half day in large warehouse select
Ing articles of the style and quality desired
The goods were shipped to the local dealer
who obtained his profit and stin gave the
purchaser a cash discount of 10 per cent
from the ordinary prices The young farmer
brought his entire stock OF miscellaneous
equipment from the store at one trip with
a team and wagon. and then spent a day or
two arranging his workshop and dlsposing

Venlent places, the extent of his outlay inn
pressing him with the necessity OF taking

cral items which were not up To tho stand
ard were taken back and exchanged for nor
feet goods at the local store. and in this wav
the entire outfit WAS delivered at the farm
with very little expenditure OF time and an
noyance and in perfect condition, By fol-
lowing this method the farmer was enabled
to make his selection from Well known
brands and from a larger stock than that
afforded by the ordinary store besides hay
ing a pleasant outing HIS total purchase
amounted to about 1925 portion being for
