TROUBLE WlTHNEGRO, SOLDIERS
Il lie Probable That the Ninth Cavalry
viii be Renewed From
San Antonio.

San Antonio, Tex, April S.-Follow-
ing rloting in certain sections Of the
city following payday, 1t 10 more than
probable that the negro soldiers OF
the Ninth cavalry will be removed
from the maneuver camp after all. II
not the indications are that serious
trouble will result The negroes will
probably be taken entirely out OF
town, as Mayor Callahan has asked
that they be removed. There have
been frequent clashes with the police
and a number Of shots have been ex-
changed. The negroes are indignant
at the order for their removal and are
very arrogant and disagreeable. A
large number of the male citizens Of
San Antonio who find It necessary to
come in contact with the negro sol
diers have armed Themselves and It Is
feared that serious clash may occur
ifthe negroes remain.

SHORTER HOURS FOR WOMEN
IN MISSOURI THEY MAY WORK
ONLY NINE.
The New Law signed BY Gov. HadIey
Limits Hours Of Labor to 81
Per Week.

Jefferson City, April S.--Gpvernor
HadIey has signed the Women's Nine
hour law. 1t will not take effect un-
til June 20, but when 1t does there
will be a reorganization Of most Of
the large concerns that employ
women.
1t provides that no woman or girl
shall be required or permitted to work
in any manufacturing, mechanical or
merchandising establishment. laundry
or workshop more than nine hours in
any one day or more than 81 hours in
any one week. The nine hours is
about the time that women now work
in the stores except Saturday nights,
holiday times or when the store is
invoicing, but this bill does not allow
an average Of nine hours for the
whole week. 1t is an average Of eight
hours and twenty minutes for each
Of the six working days Of the week
and that is what will throw depart
ment stores and smaller stores clear
out Of line.
The present ordinary working hours
Of a department store begin at eight
O'Clock In the morning and end at
six at night. but there il approx
mately an hour for luncheon, 50 that
on the ordinary day, nine hours
would constitute a days work. A few
Of the larger stores do not attempt
to keep open Saturday night, but most
Of the smaller stores do and probably
half the women who work IN stores
actually work nearer 50 hourn Than
50 hour IN each weak, regardless Of
holiday and especially buay times. In

downward Of the wool schedule.
There will be cuts Of from rs to so

Following this will come other re-

There Is to be a caucus Of the Dem

reciprocity bill out from committee at
the earliest possible date. Mr.. I'm

that Democratic program contem-
plates the introduction Of the wool
schedule and q general bill reducing
the tariffs on the necessities Of life
by the ways and means committee.
To do this there must be a joint bill
involving the agricultural schedule

schedule.
Mr.. Underwood said:
1.-THE Democrats will try so far as
the tariff is concerned to reduce the
prices Of the necessities Of life. l

troll Of food prices. AS chairman OF
