Old Folks at the Game.

After ALL the most interesting thing
about q Yale-Harvard football game

ready az ever to sit for hours on the
hard bleachers and thrill from crown

and shiver with apprehension when
the line bends and breaks and the
hostile backs crash through. And, OF

There are 1T laast 100000 section
workers., and over 1900 section fore
men on American railroads today.
These men are Just a. Jealous Of their
good names and Of the reputation OF
their work. aud . little moro 30 l
think. than any other body OF workers
in the country, writes ]. O. Faean IN
the Boston Herald. They certainly
deserve more appreciation than the
average, and receive good deal less.
Not only is this true, bat IN ny ovtb-
ion, this track work which l am now
discussing is probably the very
strongest and best feature IN all the
realm Of railroad labor at the present
day. Just 1t this time It will be we'll
for the public to read little about
the duties and responsibility Of these
track workers. Man for man they
actually do twice as much work. both

trainmen. and they receive only .
fraction as much pay or appreciation.

CONGRESS Opens
. REGULAR SESSION!
Clark and Marshall Call The
Houses to Order.
MANY MEMBERS ARE ABSENT
Ambitious Program Is Laid Out For
the Nations Lawmakers and They
May Be Busy Most Of
... Next Year.

Washington, Dec. AT the stroke
Of noon savels sounded in Senate and
House SIGNALLING the opening OF the
second, or first regular, session of the
Sixty-third Congress.
The familiar figure of Speaker
Champ Clark was seen in the House
chamber. In the Senate Vice-Presi-
dent Marshall called the senators to
order. This was the first regular SEES
sion of Congress in many years which
was ushered in under entirely Demo
cratic auspices-with Democrats in
control of the House and Senate and
Democrat executive in the White
House.
AS is usual on such occasions, the
galleries were filled, there being a
brilliant display of millinery and win
ter fashions by women spectators.
The diplomatic galleries in both
houses were we'll filled, diplomats OF
South America and Central America
predominating in the attendance.
In the House the blind chaplain of
that body, Rev Henry N. Couden, de-
livered the invocation, after which a
few new members were escorted to
the speakers desk to take the oath
of office. This ceremony over the
House proceeded to undressing rou-
tine business Routine business and
preliminary skirmishing over the cur
rency bill occupied the attention of
the Senate.
Many members, who were detained
here during the summer and autumn
months, have not returned yet, some
declaring they would remain away UNI
til after January l., so as to be at
home for the holiday season. They
think little important business will
be transacted until after the begin
ming of the new year.
Although the program had not been
definitely formulated, members look
forward to taekling one of the most
ambitious legislative tasks that Con
gress in a long time has attempted.
Here are some of the subjects of legis
lation that the new Congress will take
up:
Final action on the currency bill.
Antitrust legislation.
Rural credits.
Naval program.
Passage of dozen appropriation
bills.
Train safety and safety on the
ocean.
Regulation of the shipping trust.
Final action on the reports of lobby |
investigating committees.
The cost of living problem.
Legislation to protect women |
workers.
River and harbor budget
Legislation looking to the building |
of government railroad in Alaska.
Another important matter which 1t !
is believed will engage the attention /
of Congress is discussion of the Next
can problem.
Congress will be on the job until
about December 10, when an adjourn
ment will be taken over the Christmas
holidays until January 3. Appropria-
ton bills will be under consideration
within a week or two, it being the eX-
pectation that the District appropria-
ton bill will be the first one consid-
cred. Many members predicted that
Congress would be in session during
the coming summer and perhaps un-
til the autumn

The number OF smoking rooms now

would considerably astonish Queen
Victoria could she but see them. Her
late majesty could never bring herself
to do more than tolerate the weed in
any form. and the smoking room was
always relegated to a very distant

rival they were specially warned not
to do so.
