MUST STOP EARLY !.
THIS CHRISTMAS
LABOR COMMISSIONER DOHERTY
WILL ENFORCE NEW LAW
ON LABOR HOURS.
APPLIES TO STORES
FEMALE CLERKS AND CHILDREN
ARE NOT ALLOWED TO WORK
MORE THAN TEN HOURS
IN ONE DAY.
APPLIES TO STORES

Labor Commissioner James b.
Doherty will throw something In the
nature OF q bomb into the camps of
the mercantile houses of Virginia
which employ children and women
when in few days he will notify all
such employers that after June they
will not be allowed to work women
more than ten hours in any day ot
twenty-four hours. except on Satu.-
day nights, and that they will not
be allowed to work children und, r
fourteen years old more than ten
hours even on Saturdays
The old woman and child labor
law did not cover the situation in
regard to women children -srri-
pioycd by mercantile establishments.
and the law was amended during
the recent Legislature In spite ~
what the woman suffragists may say
In regard to men looking after the
interests of women the statute IFS
amended will protect women and
children go far as possible.
Old Statute Not Effective.
The original statute prohibited .he
working OF women in any factory
or manufacturing establishment more
than ten hours OF any twenty-four
hour day. When the practical work
Ing OF the statute was observed II
was seen that women and children
employed in mercantile establish
ments, such as dry goods stores and
millinery shops, were made to work
far in excess Of ten hours.
The employers were brought to
court, but there they proved that a
dry goods store is neither a factory
or a manufactory and the cases were
quashed.
In the cases of cash girls under
fourteen years old II was discovered
that they worked along with the wo>
men In the department stores. and
during the Christmas season some
times worked as much as fourteen
hours a day.
Do Your Shopping Early.
The amended statute will not al
low them to work more than ten
hours on any day. and the Labor
Commissioner IL going to see that
the statute II obeyed.
The amended statute will have the
effect Of helping out the slogan, DO
your Christmas shounnx early" Next
Christmas there will be no such
thing as keeping the stores open
until later at night just before Christ
mas unless the employers hire two
shifts OF women clerks Ten hours
a day during the week and open
Saturday night will be the best the
stores can do, and the Christmas
shopper will either have to etart
early or somebody Is going shy on

FURTHER INQUIRY INTO
THE DWINNELL CHARGES

Peoria, Jan. 15.-The official re-
port Of the committee Of ministers Of
the Central Illinois conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church, which
was called by District Superintend-
ent o. T. Dwinnell OF this city to in
vestigate certain charges against
Rev. J. r. Ramsey of Canton, alleg-
ing conduct unbecoming q minister,
was returned to the district super
intendent about 1890 O'Clock yes
tarday afternoon. The report con-
tains no definite verdict in the prem
ises, simply holding that some of the
complaints submitted were success
fully refuted, while others were of
such grave character that, in the
opinion of the committee, q formal
disciplinary investigation by the con-
ference is warranted, in the interests
of both the accused and the church,
and recommending that. il the
churches at Canton, Manhattan,
Kan, or elsewhere, have evidence
sufficient to justify such an investi-
cation. that the charges be formu-
lated and submitted TO District Sup.
erintendent Dwinnell of the Peoria
district.

NO MORE OUTBREAKS
ON TOWER LINE CARS

No further outbreaks of Milan and
Sears commuters occurred this morn
irg. The patrons of the street car
line rode in the cars sent out for them
and made no further efforts to demOl-
ish the cars. No more trouble is ex-
pected.
Officials of the street car company
explain that the cars which bring the
commuters in from the south are just
the same as those used for the other
early morning patrons and that while
they are not as good as the company
would like to give, nevertheless they
are the best available. Whenever the
company finds it possible, big cars
will undoubtedly be used wherever
the dinkeys are now doing service,
but that day is still sometime away.

NO VOTE BOUGHT.
LORIMER'S OATH

Washington, Jan. 15.-Senator
Lorimer continued before the inves-
tigating committee today his story
of motives which caused SO demo
Gratis to break the deadlock and vote
for him for senator. Today he re-
peated his declaration that every
man who voted for him did so for
personal friendship, to break the
deadlock or TO beat former Senator
Hopkins, and that no one had been
paid money or promised anything Of
value to vote for him.
Kern asked II the voters of Hi
nois had been for Lorimer.
"It would be egotistical for me to
say" replied Lorimer.
THE voters we're responsible in
the end, weren't they?"
"Oh, the voters-the voters, that's
the way men talk when they get VI
in the clouds-always the voters. OF
course they're responsible. But vot.
ers are human beings"
II don't know that they always
are" suggested Kern.
THAT may be the way it strikes
you, but my friends, men who be
friended me-have a good deal oi
influence as far as I'm concerned
Such men often get me 10 favor mer
who have been personally antago
nistic 10 me. But / don't think In

fuence me. Tn Just a human being
