cial) Tho passage of the women's
eight hour law and the Introduction
of women's minimum wage law in

hornets nest and yesterday members

The eight hour law had already
been reported favorably by the senate
committee but yesterday on request
Of two members Of the committee IL
was rc-referred until they could se-
cure additional data on the matter.
Certain employers Of female labor
are leaving nothing undone to defeat
the law while the labor organizations
are pushing the bill ahead.
At a meeting of the local council
Of labor yesterday IT was charged that
employers Of women I'm this city were
coercing their women employees to
work against the bill by threatening
to discharge them. The labor council
appointed n special committee to in
vestigate the matter and lay II before
the committee.

Eliminotcs Cushing Field.

Another provision of the bill de-
clarcs that after a flow Of gas is
struck in n well, that the well must
be drilled in in two days or be cap
ped to preserve the gas. This would
practically eliminate all the oil wells
In the Cushing field. In nearly all
OF the Cushing wells strong flows OF
gas running well up into the mil.
lions, are struck before the oil sand
is reached ana in many cases the gas
pressure is so strong that It takes
weeks to drill into the oil sand.
II this bin becomes a law it would
mean that at the end of two dava
fter the gas is struck, if the we'll is
not drilled in, the well would have to
be capped and me simply a gas well.
Both Of these bills have been re-
forrcd 10 the oil and gas committees
where it is pretty certain they will
be either greatly amended or killea

MORE OF THE JACOBS TRAGEDY
The Record Printed Headlines On
Monday Stating Certainty of Ira
gedy Being Murder.
Columbia Record, 30th.

Columbia Record, Goth.
The first reports of the tragedy tnat
wiped out the Jacobs family-fatner'
mother and four children, near Little
Mountain in Lexington county, ludl-
Gated that lightning had struck the
home, rendered the occupants help
less and setting fire to the mousse
caused them to be burned in their
beds.
Sheriff S. ]. Miller of Lexington
county began an investigation as soon
as the report of the tragedy reached
him. From what he and others found
at the ruins of the home, he was led
to the conclusion that the family had
been murdered and the home fired
with the hope of covering up the
crime.
A telephone report from the sheriff's
Office at Lexington at noon today was
to the effect that Sheriff Miller had so
far been unable to detect a single
clue that might put him on the track
of the murderers and incendiaries.
Mr.. Miller was engaged in a case at
Pelion at noon and had not had op-
portunity to return to the scene OF
Friday mornings awful occurrence,
but it was stated that be would con-
tinue his Investigations.
Examination of the bodies showed
that the skulls of three Of the Jacobs
had been crushed in. Mr.. and Mrs.
Jacobs and Miss Jacobs were found
on the spring mattresses of their beds
Indicating that they were murdered as
they slept. One of the boys was
found beside his mattress and the
other in the dining room that ad-
