LABOR LAWS PASSED
By LAST CONGRESS

Washington, d. c., June 29.-The la
Dor Legislation actually enacted at this
session OF the 6lst Congress is as fol
lows:
l. requiring common carriers to re-
port all accidents TO the Interstate Com.
Inerce Commission.
:. Compelling railroads, under penal
ty, to equip their cars with uniform safe
~ appliances.
). Amending the employers liability
act SO that suit may be brought at the
residence of the plaintiff and in the state
courts.
1. Appointing a commission to inves
tlgate the matter of employers liability
and 'workmen s compensation.
5. Providing for the establishment in
the Department of the Interior of a Blu
reau of Mines, and appropriating the sum
of $4,000 to carry this work.
q. Providing for an eight hour day in
the construction of battleships, golfers
and other vessels for the navy
Labor bills that passed either the
House or the Senate but failed of pas
sage in both are still valuable as vantage
grounds for the next session, especially
since the making of the new House rule
which allows members to call bills from
the committees that have been pigeon
holed.
Among these bills hung in mid air the
measure for the Government inspection
OF locomotive boilers will be vigorously
backed by the railroad brotherhoods at
the next session with a good chance of
becoming law.
Although the Dodds bill went through
| the House the Senate committee to which
it was referred would not act because of
! the absence of its chairman, the notori-
Gus Pennsylvania Republican boss Pen
| rose.
Although this leaves the labor press at
the mercy of the Postmaster General to
extinGuish it or not as he pleases, vet
1t is just possible this departmental po-
tentate will take no further action seeing
that Congress itself has not decided upon
| t he matter.

A court has deci led that wife
beating is not necessarily grounds
for divorce, and another court that
cigarette smoking on the part of
the wife is not in itself a cause to
legally break the matrimonial
bonds, because a wife has as much
right to smoke as her husband.

human reasoning, but the wav
some judges construe it is IA farce

Sod and Grass Widows.

AS to the difference between sod
and grass widows, we are indebt-
ed to Justice Guy, of New York
for the following luminous detini-
ton:
There are two kinds of widows
grass and sod. The sod species
sometimes known as the com
mon or garden variety of widows
is relieved of the burdens of a
spouse. The grass widow has IA
husband Oh her hands, but cannot
put said hands upon him"

Horse RdCinQ.

An effort will be made during
the coming session of the legIsla
ture to legaliZe horse racing in
Tennessee, placing it under con-
troll of the State Racing Commits
sion. A bill is being framed, it is
understood fashioned after the
Kentucky law.
Under a law passed several
years ago, betting on horse races
was prohibited in this State. The
bill was fought with vigor by all
those interested in the sports and
the argument was mad at the
time that it wouli destroy the
breeding Of fac hor>eo IN Tennes-
see.
The meetln"s at Jacksonville,
Fla, Oakland, Cal, Pensacola,

still gong on and the sport seems
t. hD clean and on the square.
The entries for some of the stakes
