Barbarian Of Convict labor.

Why is it that the columns of the
daily press contain no word of criti-
cism as the result Of the shameful sto-
ries that are current in regard to the
efforts being made all over the country
to perpetuate the barbarism Of convict
labor? Can it be that the cause is
that those who are fighting for that
perpetuadon are men Of money and.
being men Of money, are also men Of
standing in their respective communi-
ties? There does not seem to be any
other explanation, sad to say. But we
all have to thank God that there are
organizations Of God fearing, decent
men and women all over the land who
are worthily discharging that and 9TH
er duties which a sensational, money
mad daily press is everywhere ignor-

beas corpus act, by which power was
given to the ministers to arrest any
one they wished
1t was mainly against this iniquitous
act that the blanket meeting was held
The meeting was held at Manches-
ter. Goaded almost to desperation by
the evil conditions of the times, some
1900 people came together in st. Pc
ter's field to discuss the situation and
to voice their protest against the high
handed fashion in which the great lords
and their henchmeu were triding with
the rights which had always been re-
vered by Englishmen.
The great assemblage consisted al
most entirely Of workingmen. mostly
mill operatives. Not knowing how long
it might take them TO transact their
business, most of them brought blan
kets. for the purpose Of sleeping on the
ground; hence the name that was
given to it The great multitude was
peaceably inclined and simply desired
to give expression 10 its grievances

its music in it. The officers of the law

earliest attempts on the part Of labor

California Supreme Court Upholds Wo-
mems Eight Hour Law.

mems Eight Hour Law.
In 1911 two American states enacted
eight hour laws for women. In April
the supreme court Of Washington hand
ed down it's decision UNFOLDING the
Washington eight hour law Now the
California law has been sustained by
the California supreme court.
The California law provides that no
female shall be employed in any manu-
featuring, mechanical or mercantile es-
adjustment, laundry, hotel, restaurant,
telegraph or telephone establishment
or Office or by any express or transpor-
tation company for more than eight
hours in one day or more than forty
eight hours in one week. Employers
shall provide seats for their female
employees and shall permit them to
use them when not engaged in active
duties.
The law came before the court on the
appeal of Frank A. Miller, proprietor
of the Glenwood hotel at Riverside, for
a writ Of habeas corpus to release him
from custody on the charge of having
the law by requiring a female
employee in his hotel to work nine
hours in one day The appeal was
made on the ground that the law i'm
,airs the freedom of contract and that
{ is special in nature.

a tnrus, In the forearm, and he Jared
no better in the third Both injuries
being slight, however, it was decided
that the fight could continue
Nothing particular happened in the
three following encounters, but in the

beginning, Senior Garcia Calderon
scored an advantage He wounded his
adversary, and there WAS a rather long
pause While the doctors who had heen

not to be sufficiently serious to warrant
the termination of the duel so the priu-
