THAT EXTRA SESSION.

on the first day of October, to
give authority to the city of
Jacksonville to own and operate
its terminals, and the Board of
Trade Of Jacksonville has agreed,
it is said, to pay the expenses of
the session. Well, we have
thought upon the question, and
then thought again. We would
be the last ones in Florida to
hold back the business growth of
Jacksonville, and we are glad to
see the city prosper in every line
Of legitimate industry.
But as to whether the State

The city of !, Nsonville has been
progressing funder the old sys-
TEN. and would continue to pro
gress, until it secured relief at
the next regular session, The
measure proposed in only a local
one, andthe cutand dried program
is for the Governor to call the
session. for the bill to be drafted
beforehand the Legislature to
pass it, and then adjourn. All
of which looks to us too much
like a case Of THE tail wagging
the dog, " Had there been such
a crying need for municipal
ownership, there was the 1911
session for the bill to be present.

Furthermore, the Governor has

enough to say whether this was

Since the Legislature has been

to do with it, which
we haven't, would, with our
knowledge, favor the

act as they see best when the
matter doesn't concern US. If
Jacksonville wants to own her

Task Of Asserting.
Few persons outside the service realize
what a tremendous task 1t is to assert
ana audit the money orders issued an
nually In the United States. When the
little blue slips disappear through the
postoffice windows they enter upon
eight months Of activity and twenty
before they are finally macerated out OF
existence. In 1911 about 100000 OF
these slips of paper. taken in by post
masters In exchange for more than
$500, O00, 900, were sent to the office OF
auditor Kram.s, They are assorted and
reassorted until each order Is in the

LABOR TO RECEIVE
BENEFITS At THIS .
CONGRESS SESSION
Believed Government Blu
reau Will Be Enlarged
and Strengthened.

Out Of the discussion-o of the propos-
ed labor commission and the proposed
Department of Labor, there In likely
to come legislation of importance TO
labor at this session Of Congress- 1t
probably will take the form of an en-
larged and strengthened Bureau Of
Labor into which shall be concentrate
ed all the activities of the Govern
ment with respect to labor.
Recently, q delegation headed by
Rabbi Wise called on President Taft,
and urged that strong labor COM
mission be appointed to Investigate
relations between labor and capital.
ana other important questions with
respect to labor. The President has
this matter on his desk The delega-
ton was prompted to lay the matter
before the President largely as the
result OF the confessions of the Nc
Nsmaras at Los Angeles.
Wide Attention.
The recommendation that such
commission be established has at
tracted wide attention. Leaders of
organised labor In general take the
position that the commission would
be q step in the right direction.
something to be welcomed as tending
to shed light on labor problems.
Before the House Committee on Labor.
which II headed by Chairman Wilson.
Of Pennsylvania, former official Of
the United Mine Workers, there is pend
ing q bill by Congressman Sulzer Of
New York for q Department OF Labor.
Congressman Hobson OF Alabama also
has D. bill before the committee for the
establishment OF commission to in
vesttgate industrial accidents. 1t Is ex-
pected that some one will introduce q
bill for labor commission Of the sort
asked by Rabbi Wise and other sociolo-
gists.l The committee. Chairman Wilson
says. will soon take up the bill for the
Department of Labor.
Congress Sentiment.
The sentiment against commissions is
pronounced In Congress. This Is due
to the claim that many of the commits
sions never get anywhere, or, IL they do,
their reports are given no attention.
Labor leaders want one representa-
tive in the Cabinet. and one department
which concerns itself with labor ques-
| tons. but there Is little likelihood this
wish will be satisfied Immediately. What
Is much more probable Is that the House
Labor Committee will take steps toward
enlarging the scope and authority of the
present Bureau of Labor.
