BAY STATE CONTROLS WAGES
Minimum Salary Commission Created
by the Legislature Of tho
Commonwealth.

The first step toward the establish.
ment of a minimum wage In this
country has been taken by the quiet.
but always progressive, state Of
Massachusetts,. Wisconsin defeated
such bill last year. but the measure
which has been made into law in
Massachusetts La much less drastic
than the one which was presented to
the Wisconsin legislature IN 1911.
The amazing aspect of the Massa-
chusetts situation is that, although
this measure was looked upon as dan.
gerous and revolutionary when 1t was
proposed, not a single vote was
finally cast against 1t in the house
and only one In the senate. Massa-
chnsetts has been having Its attention
theoretically directed to labor trou-
bles during the present year, and has
been doing a good deal Of thinking.
The new law creates minimum
wage board In any occupation in
which 1t shall appear that the wages
received by a substantial number Of
women employees are insufficient to
supply the necessary cost Of living
and to maintain them in health"
The board is instructed to take into
account the financial condition Of the
business affected. If the finding of
the board Is approved by thu commits
sion, after a public hearing. the only
penalty against an employer for not
accepting the finding ID publication In
at least four newspapers in each
county of the commonwealth. This
Of publicity for the man.
datory provisions OF England and
Australia was obtained against the
wish OF those leading the movement,
but ia now thought likely to accom-
plish fully as much in the long run.
An appeal to the courts is also pro-
yided for, against the wishes OF the
leaders In the movement, but that also
may increase the publicity and
hasten the education of the public. 1t
is not expected, moreover, that en-
ployers will care to put themselves in
a position of public opposition after
the decision Of the commission.-Col,

! RENEW INTEREST IN ROAD TO
HIGH and.

a revival or INTEREST Ill tIe I'm
ton Forge Highland railroad pro-
ject is noted by the Clifton Forge
Review. In yesterdays issue OF
that newspaper, the following
editorial comment appears.
Interest has been revived here
abouts to some extent in the prof.
ect to construct q railroad from
this city UP Wilson creek and
through Allegheny, Bath and High
land counties and into West Vlr-
ginia. 1t will be recalled that
year or two ago a partial survey
of this route was made and found
to be entirely practicable, but for
some reason not known, the scheme
was Abandoned. A railroad through
this particular territory would open
up an undeveloped country abound
| ing in minerals, timber and agrlcul-
ture, prove good feeder to the Z.
and o. railway and place Clifton
Forge in easy reach of Pittsburg
and other important business CEN
tres. Railroads are business build
ers and this new line through. the
counties named would bring about
a new condition that would help all
concerned. Highland county is
without railroad facilities and even
if the proposed railroad did not ex-
t nd any futher than Monterey,
the county seat of Highland, it
woah', in our Judgment, prove a
paying investment. The people of
this city should do everything in
their power to encourage the build
ing of this railroad, for it would be
of lasting benefit. We believe the
trade of Highland county alone,
which, would be diverted this way,
would be worth many thousand of
dollars annuity. Then, again, there
are ore and mineral properties that
could be reached that only need q
railroad to bring about their de-
veIopment, not to mention the
boom it would bring to real estate
and other values in this and the adj
Joining counties. Highland is al
ready rich county, but it could be
Increased in wealth with a railroad
to transport the people and
their products to the markets of the
world. The Review suggests that
a meeting be held here with a
view of reviving interest in the
railroad to Highland and perfect
an organization that will cooperate
with others in the undertaking.
This city has no complaint to make
of it's present railroad facilities, but
lit is interested in securing an out
let to Highland and a large portion
of Bath that is not now reached by
any othes railway. With revival
in business that is sure to follow
the election we do not believe any
trouble will be experienced in rails
ing the money if we show our faith
by our works..

20, if / could just have one hour of
pleasure Happiness is not such
long word but it seems to mean vol
umes. Some people have to have much
to make them happy, while others are
happy over mere trifles. Each one has
his or her little dream of what consti-
tutes happiness. The child who is
without parent is happy over a smile
or kind word given by stranger be-
cause his or her life is devoid of affec-
ton. Isn't it strange how easily it
seems for US to smile. Take for in
stance a person we meet on the street
If he or she is smiling and appears
happy, some way or other we catch the
infection. Happiness is most de-
sirable microbe. Often times we hear
girls laughing loudly on the street and
sometimes we think just little boist-
erously Don't rebuke them so ruth
lessly. Much may transpire in day
to keep them from having another
such a time. They are merely young
and full of life. Be just little kind
and think of your own childhood and
youth. Sunny spots make Hfes path
beautiful. Crowd into the every day
life as many happy days as possible.
