There has lately been great rivalry
between the girls basketball teams OF
two Pennsylvania towns-Big Bend
and Wehrum. Not long ago the Big
Bend team went to Wehrum deter
mined to avenge their defeat. They
had borrowed for the occasion a first
class player who was entered in the
game as Miss Herrick,'' but whose
real appeIIation was supposed to be
unknown.
During the warming up practice II
was evident that Miss Herrick was
some wonder on the floor. The Web
rum girls, growing suspicious, sudden
ly rushed Miss Herrick into a corner.
snatched off her wig and discovered
Bill Jones, one Of the huskiest basket
schooters in the country. The Big
Bend girls say they will get even if

Attorney General Of Colorado De
clares State Has Right to
Work Employees Longer. IL:

DENVER, July 31.-The attorney
general Of the state recently .EaVe an
opinion on the state eight hour zlav
to- the secretary. OF state, who is albA
state tabor comm1ssi0ner::.''- .''-.s
This opinion states that the law
does not prohibit the women. from
working women employees a longer
period than eight hours, but urges
that all state institutions establish
the shorter workday for women: -,
+ Among other classes Of women im-
mune from the low, according to the
opinion. are compositors, linotype
operators, proofreaders, photograph
ers, lady undertakers, those engaged
in advertising agencies, and employees
Of sanitoriums and hospitals, except
in laundries operated by such institu-
tions. The attorney general, however,
states that women telephone and tele-
graph operators must not be en-
ployed more than eight hours. !.
It is asserted by officials who have
to do with the direct enforcement OF
the law that the subterfuge of SELL
ing or giving a woman employe one
or more shares of stock in a concern
will not be permitted as the means
Of evading penalty for violating the
law; neither will switching or tra6in :
to another be tolerated-that is, no
woman can work six hours for one
employe, two hours for another, and
any given number of hours for a
third during any twenty-four hours.

No time was lost in securing man.
An order was placed for 10000 cards
bearing this wording: "WorkinEmen

on strike in the Michigan Copper
country against slavery conditions.
Keep away. Don't be a traitor to the

The miners of the Michigan Cop

Friday and $4,000 men responded to

cuse Governor Ferris was induced to
send the state militia into the strike
zone. Since then the governor has
been attempting to induce" the mine
owners to- meet the men and settle
the strike.
His efforts, however, availed him
nothing. for he was promptly in
forH4ed by the local managers that
tha companies would have nothing
whatever to do with the Western Fed

ter stands. 1t in all probability will
be a fight to finish
AS usual, where the militia is on
hand during strikes, it is only strik-

one else is ever injured. It Is not
the exception in Michigan now. Only
a few men have been shot at, but
they are strikers, every one of them.
