AFTER INJUNCTION" GOULD.

Washington.-Recently the house OF
representatives adopted the johnson
resolution, calling for a congressional
investigation into certain fire insurance
companies in this city. Immediately fol-
lowing the passage of the resolution
Congressman Mann of Illinois, who had
strongly urged the adoption of the meas
ure. severely criticised two judges
whose names appear as directors OF the
companies to be Investigated, namely,
Judge Ashley NJ. Gould, of the District
of Columbia supreme court, and Judge
George w. Atkinson, of the court OF
claims. Congressman Mann said:
notice that there is published as a di-
rector of this company Hon. George w.
Atkinson, justice of the United States
court of claims, and as a director and
vice-president, Hon. Ashley NJ Gould,
Justice of the supreme court of the Dis
trict of Columbia. simply wish to put
on record my opinion that it is wholly
improper for those on the bench to be
appointed or selected as directors and
officers of life insurance companies or
other companies, especially those that
are involved in business complications
and seeking to sell stock by employing
the names of honorable and eminent
gentlemen as directors. ! know these
two gentlemen, and l do not intend to
cr1t1c1Se them, Dut DeileVe thdt IL tney
apprehend their duty they will retire
from these companies at once, and the
sooner the better" Justice Gould is the
gentleman who issued the first injunc-
ton against the officials of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, and the recent
incident is interesting from the point OF
view that congressman criticises the
justice for allying himself with CONNER
cial enterprises in the jurisdiction over
which he has judicial authority, and indi-
Gates that it is an incongruous situation
for judge to enter into business reia-
tions as referred to above.

FIGHTING LABOR.

Duluth, Minn.-The Minnesota EN-
ployers' association has been circulariz-
ing the state for the purpose of discred-
iting the efforts of organized labor to
secure from the legislature of Minnesota
legislation in the interest of the laboring
people of the state. The State Fedora
ton, in the last campaign, pursuant to
instructions, interrogated every candi,
date for the legislature as to his atti-
tude on certain bills to be introduced at
the coming session large number of
candidates for legislative positions pro-
claimed their entire harmony with the
suggested Legislation. Owing to this fact,
the employers are now using every
means at their command TO thwart the
efforts of the State Federation to secure
remedial legislation.

CHILD LABOR BILL.

New York.-The national child labor
committee in this city has been circu
larizing the clergymen throughout the
country, asking that occupiers of the pull
pit devote their remarks on January 25
or 26 to the subject of child labor day.
This campaign has been carried on for a
number of years. This year special at
tention is called by the committee to
child labor in tenement house manufac
turing. Clergymen are also reminded
that child laborers become unskilled
adult workers. recounting that the Chi
cago vice commission gives this as the
second greatest cause why 10000 girls
are sacrificed annually to an immoral
life.

Negotiations are in progress looking TO-
ward a settlement. but nothing definite
has yet transpired. The international
ladies' Garment Workers union Is also
taking a referendum vote of all employees

quite likely that If a settlement Is not
procured in the immediate future, pc
tween 10000 and 10000 employees IN the
latter trade will also strike.

MIR. Daniels Should Investigate

w Mr. Rafael Demoro, special agent for the F.
Jebsen & Co. shipping concern, is responsible
for story affecting the attitude of the commanders
Of two American cruisers which deserves the
attention of Secretary of the Navy Daniels
According to Mr. Demoro his company's ship,
the Jason, was recently in Santa Rosalie, when a
large party of refugees arrived from Guaymas,
whence they had been driven by the Mexican rebels.
The French officials in charge Of the mining
concessions in Guaymas and in charge of the
refugees wanted to get of their plight to the
French minister in the City of Mexico
They requested the representatives of the Tebsen
company to transmit wireless message to either
the Denver or the Pittsburg the two American
cruisers in the gulf of California, with the request
that it be sent thence to the French minister.
The wireless plant of the Jason was immediately
placed at the service of the refugees and for two
days the operator tried in vain to get in communi-
cation with either the Denver or the Pittsburg.
He was able to pick up messages from both the
cruisers, but both refused to pay any attention to
him. On the third day the operator on the cruiser
Pittsburg rewarded the Jason's efforts with the
following curt message
Tell that old wooden shoe that this isn't the
kaiser's navy, and to keep out"
That the beginning and the end of the
American warships' contribution to the effort to
relieve the troubles of the refugees
If this story is substantated, some one in
authority should feel the weight of the navy
departments wrath.
Obviously the wireless equipment Of the navy
should not be used for the benefit OF private
enterprises but there are still many Americans old
fashioned enough to believe that the American navy

Red hair is unpopular, if we be-
lieve all we read. For the cables have
lately brought an interview in which
a British professor, though admitting
that men admire red haired women.
asserts the existence of a deep seated
This prejudice has flourished very
largely since the introduction of Chris
tianity, he says, perhaps by reason of
the traditional redheadedness of Judas
Iscariot, and is now stronger than
ever-so much that the lives of many
sunkissed female children are cursed
and made burdensome by the jibes of
the thoughtless. Therefore, says the
professor, they change the color
scheme by artificial means the moment
they attain the age of autonomy and
red hair Is rapidly but surely being
dyed out of existence.
'Tis true. red hair is and has long
been universally recognized as pos
sessing humorous properties. 1t is
jocose subject matter peculiarly ap-
pealing to the non red headed Age

dim its brightly merry connotation, to
the mind of the immune. But, now
that one thinks of it, it does seem
possible that the joke may pail upon

A NOnskidding Pavement

"A At last worthy effort is to be made to put an
end, in Market street at least to the skidding
of automobiles and the slipping down of horses
wherever the pavement becomes slippery.
The board of public works has decided to cover
part, and perhaps ultimately all, of Market street
with the new nonskid pavement devised by Super
intendent of Street Repairs Mccoy. His method is
to heat the asphalt surface and then roll coarse sand
into the pavement. Experiments in Fell and in
Scott streets have proved satisfactory Work on
the south side of Market street from Third to the
Embarcadero, and the north side, from the Ennbar-
cadero to the west end of the street will be begun
at once.
Relief will undoubtedly be afforded bv this
method. Traffic troubles will surely be minimized.
Dangers to the unfortunate horses and the dangers
from skidding automobiles should be ended in the
parts Of the great thoroughare in which the asphalt
embedded gravel will be used
This is a good step in the right direction The
board of public works deserves much credit for at
last moving to put end to one of the Oldest and
long standing street problems.

now abominated by the informed And
since the ancient mother in law joke
is even now emitting its dying gasps,
may we not pluck up hope that the
sorrel top jest will presently go the
same way?
No one would knowingly injure the

that the clumsy testers forget how
sensitive is a child's heart They
would abstain willingly enough If they
realized the harm they did. They will

There's no lack of compensation for
the victims. Your red headed lad is
usually well able to avenge himself
upon the persons of any tormentors
in his class-and can count upon re-
naming so through life. AS for the
little girls, who may not fight, can
they not find full solace in the refiec
tion that the taunts of companions are
born of bitter jealousy? For 1t is as
