LABOR WILL FIGHT
FOR LONGEVITY PAY
Legislative Agents to Go to
Congress in Interest Of
Canal Employees
MEMBERS OPPOSE
INCREASES OF PAY

Organized labor is preparing to
launch another campaign in the halls
of Congress for the purpose of having
restored to a large class of American
wOrkmen on the Panama canal the
longevity pay which was given to
them on executive oder of President
Roosevelt.
Congress put an end to the longev-
ity pay in the sundry civil apprD pria-
tion bill which went into effect last
July. Under the terms of the act the
employees would be entitled to con-
tinue drawing the longevity earned
up to that time. but not TO add still
further TO their wages from July 1893.
until the completion of the work on
which they arc engaged.
Agents Busy.
Legislative agents representing the
locomotive engineers, railroad con-
ductors and steamshovel men are in
/ Washington endeavoring to convince
members of the House of the justice
and necessity of restoring the long
evity.
Members of the Appropriations
Committee will fight the proposition
on the ground that the men for whom
Alt lhNithot III pay rs SuuEul are now
receiving far more than men engag-
cd in similar work i'm the United
states.
Locomotive engineers on the Canal
for instance. receive a base wage o.
S2l0 a month. Many of the engineers
have been on the Isthmus since th'
United States took possession al,
these men are today drawing tn
longevity earned up to July, 1909. Il
many instances this brings the wag
up to S2f0 a month.
Conductors employed on the dir
trains have a base pay of $3.50
month. compared with a wage of $40
a month, paid to freight conductors ol
many of the railroads in the Unite
States. I'm addition to the $l90 man
of the conductors are drawing long
evity pay earned prior to the clos
of the last fiscal year. making a ma
torial increase in their wage.

'IF ONLY HAD THE TINE"

Some boys will pick up a good

, GOOD WORD FOR THE FRIV-
OLOUS.

"Our besetting sin is to be too Sc
rious and set too high a value upon
sobriety,'' says Margaret E. Sang
ster in the Woman's Home Compan-
jon for August. Il hold a brief for
pure fun. Laughter is wholesome;
mirth does more good than medicine.
Not merely when we are on a holt
day, but in the mid-current OF the
daily round we are the better for an
interlude of amusement. The person
who was born without a sense or
humor is greatly to be pitied. NO
siuation is intolerable If one can see
the fun in it. When / hear or see
condemnation of girls gaitey, am
forced to the conviction that the
grave censor never had a girlhood
worth the name or else was born
under the baleful star. Immoderate
giggling belongs to transient phase
and should not be reproved when
children are in their early teens;
rather it should be rejoiced In, and
their elders look back in tender
usefulness on their own days of
such thoughtless delight. Be as
frivolous as you please, dear maiden
and matron, in the summer days and
be assured that in its place frivolity
is the sunshine that dances on the
wave. Some of. the most portentous
people one meets, people solemn and
severe, and given to frowning are
fools underneath their masks. Some
of the lightest-hearted, gayest and
most winsome in their capacity for
seeing fun and making it are among
the great and wise. If one has no
native sense of humor, one should
endeavor by every legitimate means
to acquire it. An evening spent at
play which from the first act to
the last scintillates with jests and ir-
resistibly provokes mirth is boon to
tired folks; so, too, is an hour with
novel in which the serious under
lying purpose is Illuminated by fash
es of fun on a summer day or win
