NAVAL BILL RETAINS
FIGHT HOUR CLAUSE
Enemies Of Shorter Work Day Re-
sort to Many subterfuges to
Defeat Labor.

WASHINGTON. July 1S.-During
the consideration of the naval appro-
priation bill in the house the Hughes
eight-hour bill was inserted as an
amendment for the reason that while
the house had passed the eght-hour
bill the senate had not yet taken ac-
ton.
In order that the senate might be
compelled to act upon this legisla-
ton it was incorporated in the, naval
appropriation bill as an amendment.
The senate finally concurred in, with
slight amendments, with the Hughes
eight-hour bill land it has been
signed by the president. However,
the Hughes eight hour bill does not
become effective until January : l..
1913. .,~
In the consideration of the naval
appropriation bill in the senate an
effort was made to eliminate the
eight-hour amendment on the plea,
that the eight-hour day was already
established by law. 1t was contended
by the friends of the eight hour
amendment that it's effect was to
make the eight hour provision eff
fective. so far as naval construction
was concerned Immediately, and that
if it was stricken out contracts could
be entered into prior to January /,
1913, which would not extend the
provisions of the eight hour law to
contractors and sub-contractors, on
this naval appropriation bill, and
which is a salient feature of the
eight-hour law that goes into effect
in 1913.
An amendm ent was finally adopted
that carries the eight hour law into
effect Immediately on all contracts
provided for in the naval appropria-
ton ball.
The amendment follows: That the
provisions Of the act of congress en-
titled an act limiting the hours of
daily service of laborers and mechan-
les employed upon work done for the
United States. or for any territory,
or for the District Of Columbia, and
for other purposes approved June
10, 1912, shall be in force as to all
contracts made under this act from

School Land Ship.

One of the features of their public school training which the boys of Der lin, Germany. enjoy most is the Hand ship" on which young sailors go through a regular daily training. The Iltis Is the name Of the land ship which has been built and which has a crew of 120 boys. The larger boys act as officers. When they are at work on the land ship the boys dress in mid dy blouses and caps. There is gun practice on the land ship every day, and 6 naval drill. and all the usual work of a ship is done by the boys. They have the greatest fun in climb ing the spars and hoisting the sails, and life on the Iltis is SO popular that there are always more applicants for the crew than there are places to be dlled.

SAL yAGE SHOT FROM THE SEA
seamen on English Coast Earn Money by Selling Old ProIeetIIes
 10 the Admiralty.

Shot picking Is the "art" of retriev- ing shot and shell from the bottom of the sea. In order to practice this profession nowadays a man must be in possession of a boat, plenty of cour. age and license.
 Target practice is carried on almost every day at Portsmouth, England, and the admiralty are willing to pay a good price for shells which are re- covered from sand banks and shallow water.
 Shot pickers go out to sea in boats, watch the firing intently while 1t is in progress, and then, as soon as the last shot has settled in the water, dis perse in various directions in order to discover the shells.
 These are located by means of a long line weighted with lead, which has small buoy fixed at one end. This end is thrown overheard, and the boat is rowed slowly in a semicircle. The weighted line drags over the sand beneath the water and catches against any shell that is projecting above the sand. A thln, firm pole is then lowered, so that it makes a clean fine from she shot to the side of the boat, and, while this is held in place by one man, pick Is thrust down by another to draw the projecting shot from the sand beneath the water./

Plans for opening the soccer foot ball season will be made at a meet ing of soccer enthusiasts that will be held on Sunday, August 4, at 1880 p. m At this meeting a team to rep resent Bisbee will be formed, and other teams will be formed in quick succession, and later a league will probably be organized, composed of as many teams as wish to enter.
 Soccer has been growing in popu- larity in Bisbee since the supporters of the sport introduced it here sey- eral years ago, and last year a regu- lar schedule of games between three teams was played. Games were also played with the Morenci team, in which the Warren district team proved itself the champion. The game has a large following in the district, especially in the English colony.
 John Martin requests that all who are interested in the formation of a Bisbee soccer team confer with him.

CULLEN LOOKS GOOD ID FANS
 AI WORKOUT
Excellent Condition; Con- tents Self with Light Practice at Jennings
 in Lowell

Danny Cullen, who is to meet Frankie Gage in a 25-round bout at Agua Prieta Sunday afternoon, took his first workout since coming to Bis bee, yesterday afternoon at Harry Jennings place in Lowell. A crowd of local fight fans were on hand to see the boxer who has been substi- tuted for Waugh in Sundays match go through his training stunts. They were impressed with his work. all though he took it easy on account of the altitude. to which he is not yet accustomed. A number of fans from Douglas who are backing Gage to win also attended the workout, and insisted that their favorite would put it all over Cullen when they meet Sunday.
 Handball, bag punching, rope jump ing and few fast rounds with Jim mic Evans, his trainer, were the stunts that Cullen went through yes terday This afternoon and tomor- row he will go through the same pro- gram, only, as he becomes used to the altitude, he will lengthen the work each day. Robbie Waugh was an interested spectator at the train ing quarters, and watched the work of both Cullen and Evans closely He is expected to meet the winner of the Cullen-Gage match August IS, and the simmer on that day will probably be matched to meet Evans, so that he may be called on to fight each one of the boys now working out here within the next few weeks.
