 Advices respecting monetary condf- tions abroad were more favorable and the easier tone today of day-to-day accommodations in the home market assisted operations on the long side.

CHINESE PRESIDENT APPROVES OF PLAN
 TO END. CONGRESS

Pek1rs Dec. r19--A mandate issued by President Yuan Shis 5Kai today ex- presses full approval of a proposition purporting to emanate from General Lii Yuen Heng, vice-president of the Chinese republic and the military and civil governors of all the Chinese provinces suggesting the definite ter nination of the Chinese parliament which met for the first time on April B. this year, but was never afterWard able to bring together a quorum of it's members.
 The round robin advising the pres1- dent to adopt this course says in part:
 .~The Chinese parliament enacted no important law in the seven months of it's existence and will not do so if it be permitted to continue for a hundred years.
 'TVice President Ii Yuen Heng and other prominent citiens of the repub- lie cannot continue to remain silent while the country goes to destruc- tion.
 .'The administrative council now corlvened in Pekin is similar to the convention formed by the 13 states which assisted George Washington in the revision of the American consti- tuition.
 we and the whole of the Chinese people disapprove of the conduct of the bad parliamentary members For eigners likewise disapprove of it. Therefore, the president of the repub- lie need not hesitate.
 President Yuan Shi Kai has submit ted the question to the administrative council he formed in November. This council consists of Il mem bers, com prising cabinet membe and others appointed by the president and the provincial governors.

May Change Schedule
 Of Working Hours.


 Hartford, Dec. 19-Attorney General John H. Light, in replying to the re quest of Factory Inspector John J. McPart1and, yesterday gave an opin- ion on the new law concerning the employment of women and minors. The law provides that no woman or minor shall be employed more than ten hours in any one day or hfty-fve hours in any week. and also provides that every employer must post a mo- tors stating the hours of work requir- ed on each day of the week.
 The question raised by the inspec- tor was whether an employer might change the hours of work at any time providing that they did not exceed hfty-dVe in a week or ten in "a, day. The attorney general decided that the schedule might be changed from week to week, but that the. hours must be fixed for that length of time.
 He says:-
 'tTne units of time for the employ ment of women and miners under 16 years of age to labor in any fnanufac- turing or mechanical establishment, are the day and week. The employ ment in any day must not be more than ten hours, or fifty-f five in any calendar week. I am of the opinion that any manufacturer may alter such notice at any time by giving Q new notice containing 9 different appor- tionment of the hours, within the statutory limits. but every notice should be made to cover 8 full. cal endar week.
