The appearance Of the women
workers In this plant" said a member
Of the committee, was very dis.
heartening. They were worn and
pale and their clothes, faces and
hands were covered with oil and hemp
cloth. Many Of these women, SO called,
are only children in age and they have
to lug huge piles Of hemp, weighing
$50 pounds each. across the floor, the

which is kept In constant motion by
the line shaftings despite the require
ments of the law. This dust IL
breathed continuously by the women,
many OF whom complain of chronic
coughs and colds. The dust and dirt
are SO thick upon the clothes Of the
girls that at the noon hour-which In
many cases consists of but a few
minutes-and at the close OF the days
or nights labor, the girls have to
sweep each other clean with brooms."

ployed in the mills, 200 work all night.
When George w. Perkins was asked
by a New York Times reporter for an
explanation OF the conditions In an
establishment Of which he Is one OF
the directors, he made, in part, the
following remarkable reply: This
night work has been rendered neces-
sary largely because Of the govern
ment's perfectly unreasonable attitude
toward large corporations. which has
made It impossible for managers OF
large concerns to know whether they
were on foot or horseback. whether
they could expand their plans to keep
up with increasing demands or not"

IN HE country is at the food tide of prosperity.
The last four years under Republican laws and Re-
publican policies mark a triumphant climax in the ma
TONS history.
From the day that William Mckinley, in the name of the
Republican party, assumed control of the government, down to the
present time, when William Howard Taft is proving the worthy
and patriotic successor of the martyrcd president, there has been
uninterrupted progress, unexampled prosperity, marvellous growth.
Business everywhere is booming. Labor is in great demand
and wages were never better. Banks deposits n increasing. Rail-
roads are carrying enormous quantities of freight. Shipbuilding
has taken on a new lease of life. Farmers are making money and
miners and all other classes of workers are busy. Never was such
universal activity known before.
The details presented in these columns tell their own con-
vincing story. They are gathered from all sections of the country
"a broadside of interesting, instructive facts that demonstrate
the widespread blessing of prosperity all over the land.

wins this fall. as I believe he will. the
old balance between the politicians by
which the interests won whether the
coin falls heads OF tails and the peo-
pie lose whether the coin falls tails

a title more happiness for each man

tween men,. There will be shorter
working hours for the laborer, better
laboring conditions and the world will
be a little better place for the aver

PROPOSITION
Slaughter House Question
May be Aired at Coun-
Gil Meeting Tonight.

When the city council meets in reg
ular monthly session tonight, it is ex-
pected that slaughter house PROPOSE
ton will be submitted by the butchers
of the city. The butchers would give
out nothing regarding the question
that a proposition would in all prob
ability be submitted.
The slaughter house question re-
ceived considerable attention at the
last meeting of the council, but moth
ing definite was accomplished. At
that time the butchers did not seem
to know what they wanted. and, as a
result. the proposition submitted by
p. F. Werstlein was not acted on.
Mayor Murphy told the butchers at
that time hat they would have to get
together and prepare some kind of a
plan to submit to the council at to-
nights meeting.

ROBINSON TO
START TOMORROW
Bad Roads Prevented Geta-
way Yesterday-He's
Ready and Anxious.

After learning that the rains Of
Saturday night had made the roads
bad. Seal Robinson, who will repre-
sent the Evening Times on a motor
cycle trip from Grand Forks to Los
Angeles, gave up starting yesterday
morning.
The warm sunshine of today is dry
ing the roads rapidly. according to re-
ports from towns south and east of
here, and Robinson proposes to get
away tomorrow morning. He will
leave the Times-Herald building al 3
o'clock on his long journey. n Of
the longest and toughest trips ever
attempted by a lone rider.
Robinson's junket cross the coun-
try will be a Times affair.
He will start from the Times-Herald
building in Grand Forks. will repre-
sen the Evening Times en- route. and
will complete his trip in front of the
Times building in Los Angeles.
The Los Angeles Times has already
been notified Of the cross-country mo-
torcycle trip and plans are under way
in that city for a welcome for the
North Dakota boy after he has cross-
ed the desert sands and arrived In
the land of sunshine and orange bios.
SONS. AS the Times never does any
thing by halves, Robinson may feel
assured Of a rousing reception when
he reaches California.
Other newspapers along the way
have also been advised to watch out
for the young traveller and he will
fall into kind hands wherever he puts
up for the night or stops for a meal.
When Norman B. Black. general
manager Of the Times-Herald, was in
the east last spring he enjoyed meet
ing General Otis of the Los Angels
Times and before they parted they
became warm friends. Mr.. Black
will send greetings to General Otis
over the motorcycle route by Robin.
:son.
Robinson's trip is already arousing
much interest in Grand Forks. The
Times has been called by phone re-
'peatedly today by persons curious to
know how far the rider had gotten
land what he had sent back about the
roads. From these phone conversa-
lions it would seem that everybody in
california by motorcycle.
The young rider himself is aching
to be off. When he appeared at the
Times office this morning his face We.

Thought you we're half way to
california;" said one Of the reporters.
II thought I would be at this time,'
replied Robinson, ''but the rain made
the roads bad and I had to call 1t of
for a day. This weather makes me
sick. Here I am with my machine
in fine shape. feeling like a million
dollars myself and have to stick
|around in town when I ought to be
cutting off the miles IN great shape.
I'm be the mad boy in the morning
IL I don't get away, believe me-"
Robinson figures that his trip to
Los Angeles will take him about
twenty days. He realizes that it will
not be smooth sailing all the way
and that he is very liable to bump
into some hardships. Other motor.

then speeding swiftly to the east. to all
appearances satisfied hat they were
on the right track, thirty racing
pigeons were released from the roof
OF the Times-Herald building at exact

flight to st. Paul. Their destination in

The big basket containing the thirty

southwest corner of the building. A
light wind was blowing from the
southwest.
Hesitating for a second, the pigeons

Persons who are not very familiar
with the homer pigeon had no end
of questions to ask the man in charge
of the birds when he came down from

pressed the belief that the flyers

SPOHOMORES PUSH
FIRST YEAR MEN
ALL OVER FELL

The sophomore-freshman class fight
which was held on the football field
at the university Saturday afternoon.
resulted in a victory for the second
year men. Instead of the annual cane
rush. the students engaged in a push
ing" contest. There were about thirty
men on each side, and they lined up
fifteen apart. The first year men tried
to push the sophomores over the lat
ter's line and the sophs endeavored to
do the same with the freshies. When
the first rush was called off, the sophs
had showed fourteen freshies over,
while the latter had only eight to
their credit. The result of the second
rushed showed thirteen fresh ones
across the line and only six sopho-
mores.
The two wrestling matches were de.
clared draws. In the heavyweight
event Gottfried Arnston represented
the freshmen and Ray Heising the
sophomores. Lloyd Campbell repre-
sented the first year men in the light
weight class. while Herbert James
wrestled for the sophs.
