EIGHT-HOUR LAW TO
Be ENFORCED HERE
COMMISSIONER or LABOR SAYS
LOCAL CONTRACTORS ARE
VIOLATING LABOR LAWS.

A warning has been issued by the
state department Of labor that unless
certain contractors in Tulsa comply
with the eight hour labor law, prose-
cutions will follow. State Labor Com
missioner Charles J.. Daugherty has
written to County Attorney Pat NAL
10y calling the matter to his atten-
ton.
The letter in part follows:
1T has come to the attention of
this department that certain sewer
contractors in the city of Tulsa are
attempting to evade the provisions
Of the state eight hour law by employ
ing men by the cubic yard. ] under
stand that in one instance an en-
ployec made something like $3.50 for
a weeks work. This condition seems
20 be In existence in two or three
cities in the state and is similar to
the condition that prevailed in the
city Of Muskogee some time since
This department will not countc-
nance any such proceedings as are
being practlced as it is merely a sub
terfuge to evade the provisions of our
statute. Should contractors fail to
comply with the provisions of the law
in this respect, this department will
certainly prosecute for each and ev-
cry offense."

a DUKE SCRUBBED FLOORS.
The Master of School Was No Re.
spcctcr of the Sons of Queens.

SittttE vi TIC SOiiS OI t(uccuSs
From the Chicago Tribune.
Cases are on record where young
women (also old ones) have objected
to scrubbing floors. There are even
housewives who decline to scrub tho
floors. They say scrubbing is hard
work, and that sort of hard work
that no one of any special position
and standing can be expected to do.
As to the first objection, there is not
much to be said; scrubblng is harder
work than some other things. But
on social grounds no one can possibly
have any objection. Scrubbing Is an
art INDUCED In by such notable per-
sons as his royal highness, the Duke
of Coburg- Gotha.
OF course, the duke does not scrub
every day. lie has some feeling for
the rights of the public. He does
not wish to take more than his share
Of what scrubbing Is to be had.
But he has certainly scrubbed in
his time. The first occasion is Of in
terest. for Il occurred when the duke,
then very young royal highness, was
taken by his mother, the Duchess Of
Albany. to Mr.. Wesley's school for
boys. Before taking In the royal
youngster the master stipulated that
the new pupil must conform to all
the rules. This was agreed.
One day his royal highness upset q
bottle OF Ink on the floor. Get a
bucket of water and wipe 1t up" said
the master.
But" objected his royal highness.
you don't mean me to scrub 1t up,
do your"
"Yes, indeed"
"But you must forget my grand
mother Is the queen
"On the contrary" said the master,
81 remember 1t very well. Get the
water"
Whereupon his royal highness, the
Duke OF Coburg- -Gotha. scrubbed. And
nobody has been able since that time
70 flout the duke or TO make fun Of
his social position because Of the
scrubbins.

If you should go to Metz. which Is down
near the border of France, in Lorraine,
one of the provinces annexed to the Ger
man empire after the war OF 1871, and
ask permission to enter one OF the fort
resses, you would be regarded as a luna
tic. The city is surrounded by successive
rings of earthworks for six miles, and
they are occupied by a garrison of $4,000

the 10Th Army Corps, and within the
walls are all the institutions and APP
purtenances required for a fortified town.
. The French forts are practically ADAM
dOned. They were surrendered after the
hattie of October ~ A1s70, to the Ger
mans. 1t was probably the greatest capit-
