QUESTION OF IMPORTANCE TO

Original Bill Gave Industrial Commits

form, may well make employers Of

| tice.
compensation for labor paid, whether
by time, piece work or otherwise, sutti-
cient to enable the employee receiving
| it to maintain himself or herself I'M
der conditions consistent with his or

Any one can file a complaint that
certain employees are not getting a
living wage. On complaint being filed
the industrial commission shall inves-
tigate the charges made in the COM
plant Furthermore after July l.,
1918, the commission may and after
July l, 1914, shall, on its own initia-
tive, investigate all complaints.
In the original bill, and in the sub
stitute amendment which took the
place of the original bill, it was pro-
| vlded that the commission, in it's de-
termination Of living wage, should,
among other things, take into consid-
Grafton, together with the needs of the
| employee, the financial condition of the
industry or occupation and the prob
able effect on the establishment Of
the proposed living wage.
All this was struck out by an
amendment offered by Assemblyman
| Carl Minkley and adopted by the as
| sembly. In consequence all that is left
to be considered by the bill in it's pres
ent form is the needs of the employe.

ming November I, 1913.

st. Paul, Mimi, July 2~-The fed
eral court here Monday approved the
plan agreed upon by Attorney General
McReynolds and attorneys for the
Union-Pacific railroad, and the famous
Union-Southern Pacific merger.
The decree will become effective
with it's filing in the federal court at

Shortly before four o'clock Judge

court had decided to enter final de-
cree, approving the plan as presented
by the attorney general and the
roads counsel, with practically but
one exception.
This exception was the naming Of
Louis G. Krauthoff of New York city
as a commissioner of the court to see
that the letter and spirit of the plan
is carried out. The court also direct
ed him to report to it from time to
time.
In brief the plan, which had the ap-
prevail of President Wilson, presented
by the attorney general and counsel
for the road and approved by the
court, provides that the Union Pa
cific shall exchange $38,000,000 Of it's
100000 holdings in the Southern
Pacific for the Pennsylvania railroads

to the general public through the
Central Trust company of New York;
that no present stockholders in the
Union Pacific, continuing as such,
may buy any of the Southern Pacific
stock so sold; that the transaction
shall begin November /, 1913, and if
not completed by January 1, 1916, the
court should direct the disposition Of
any Southern Pacific remaining I'M
sold.

Youths, Awaiting Opening of Munich

Into Merrimac River-Four Sis

Lawrence, Mass, July 2-Twelve
boys under ten years Of age were
drowned when a wooden bridge con-
Meeting the municipal bathhouse with
the bank of the Merrimac river col
lapsed. 1t is possible that more were
drowned.
The boys, ranging from nine to fl
teen years, were waiting for the bath
house keeper to open the door. No
one knows how many there were In
the party, but 1t is thought that forty
Is a conservative estimate. The boys
were jumping up and down as they
shouted for admission, when the sup
ports sank and the walk extension
dropped like trap door.
There is swift current at this
point, drawn by the falls, quarter OF
a mile below. Many OF the boys could
not swim. Witnesses on the river bank
say that all disappeared in flash. but
a moment later there was struggling
mass on the surface. The stronger
ones. who could swim, struck out
bravely for the boathouse and score
saved themselves Their cries brought
aid and several others were pulled
ashore. Five unconscious forms were
brought from the water and two OF
these were finally resuscitated. Eff
forts to restore the others were futile.
1t was thought at first that only
three drowned and Il was not until
two hours later that the probable loss
of life was realized. A boy in the
crowd of distracted persons on shore,
missing his chum, set up cry:
Il don't see Rollie. He must be
drowned"
Boats and graphing irons were then
brought and the river bed was drag
ged When the work ceased late at
uight II bodies had been recovered.

NORTH AND SOUTH
B|VOUAC IN PEACE
Veterans Pay Tribune to Stars
and Stripes at Gettysburg.
SlCKLES GREETED BY GRAY
Aged Women of Pennsylvania Village,
Who Strew Flowers Before Victo-
rious Blue Army, Attend Re-
union on Battlefield.

Gettysburg, Pa, July 2.-Oh the
field of Gettysburg where the blue
and gray armies fought fifty years ago
the soldiers of peace from north and
south troOped into the tented city,
where a gigantic reunion Is now In
progress and will last for four days.
It was an army united in sentiment
and united in fact. The Blue linked
arms with the Gray and marched the
dusty road together from the village.
They sat down at the same mess Ia
bles and talked over the war before
the same campfires tonight.
Officials of the regular army in
charge of the camp estimated that
nearly $4,000 veterans came In during
the day, bringing the total close to
10000, probably the greatest army
that ever assembled on Gettysburg
field after Lee and Meade left 1t to
glory and history.
The sun blazed Just as fiercely as
ever, but down from the Blue Ridge
tumbled a lively little breeze, carry
Ing vigor to the tired veterans. In
consequence of this relief there were
fewer prostrations.
There was a reception by survivors
of Buford's division of Meades army
and Wheeler's division Of Lees. The
meeting began fifty years to the hour
from the time when the first shot pre-
ceding the battle was fred. The gray
cavairymen, who fought the skirm-
fishes that led up 70 the three days
fight pledged themselves in the shad-
ows OF the Stars and Stripes to "for-
get and their brothers in blue swore
by the Stars and Bars that the fight
was over for all time.
There were several women from the
village at the meeting tent, and six
of them. gray-haired and aged. sang
Rally Round the Flag. Boys" The
women who sang the battle song were
among those who thronged the streets
of Gettysburg after the advance guard
of the southern army left it fifty years
ago.
On that night, when Buford's men
came riding into the village on the
heels of Wheeler's men in gray, maid
ems strewed flowers along the streets
and bells in the churches pealed out
the new of the coming Of the blue,
and the town went wild. OF all the
scores of girls who welcomed the van
guard OF Meade only a half dozen
could be found, and they stood, white
haired, with tears in their eyes, on a
platform In the big tent and sang to
the weeping soldiers in the seats be-
low.
Four governors came into camp.
Governor McGovern of Wisconsin was
the first arrival, Governor Tener Of
Pennsylvania was close on his heels
and Governors Mann of Virginia and
McCreary of Kentucky arrived later.
General Sickles. the only corps COM
mander of the Union army on the
field, was the center Of attraction Of
hundreds OF men in gray. He sat on
the porch Of the Rogers house on the
field near the spot where he was shot,
shaking hands with hundreds.
Before the southerners left the Rog-
crs house they shouldered the general,
carried him out into the battlefield and
stood him up before the camera fire
and moving picture machines.

MiLITANTS PLAN TO SLAY.
Suffrasettes Will Avenge Deaths Of
Hunger Strikers.

London, July 2.-The Daily Express
announces the discovery of a suffraget
murder plot, which, it declares, has
hitherto been known only in the inner
circles of the home office. 1t is a
scheme of a small and dangerous
section of the suffragets to avenge
the death of any militant, through self
inflicted starvation, upon members Of
the cabinet. The paper says:
Should one of these militants die
while under sentence, the life Of no
member of the cabinet would be safe,
and the life of the prime minister
would be in the greatest jeopardy"
