THAT EIGHT=HOUR
LAW WAS NOT VIOLATED

The preliminary hearing of George
E. Wycoff, superintendent for the Bird
Mendenhall Construction company, of
the street paving in the city was
held this morning in the probate court.
The complaint which was filed yes
terday by one Howard, laborer, who
had been employed on pick and shovel
work on the streets for some time, al
legged that he had been worked for
ten hours per day in violation of the
states eight-hour law. The COM
planning witness denied the general
supposition that he was an I. w. w.
and testified that he merely wished to
see the laws of the state enforced
also that ten hours per day were
too many for such hard work" 1t ap-
peared that the complainant had been
paid on the basis of 25 cents per hour
and had never been ordered to work
longer than eight hours.
The principal ground of defense ad-
The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1913-06-24

vanced by Attorney Morgan was that
the condition of the streets through
out the entire paving district created
such an emergency as to endanger life
and property, and under such circum-
stances the enforcement of ten-hour
day would not amount to a violation
of the state law 1t appeared in the
evidence that injuries had actually
been sustained in several instances
as result of the open bitches and
the sewer basins throughout the paw
ing district and that it would be next
to impossible to protect the sections
of the city which are affected by the
paving from fire in case one should
break out
After hearing the testimony and the
arguments of counsel Probate Judge
Morgareidge ordered the defendant
discharged on the ground that there
was not sufficient evidence on which
to bind him over for trial in the dis
trict court.

PEDESTRIANS KEEP
off NEW PAYING

1t was found necessary today to
station Moscow's entire police force
at the south end of Main street to pro-
tect the soft concrete from unthinking
citizens who, in their eagerness to test
the new pavement, cannot resist the
temptation to walk across it. 1t is
requested that people keep off the
concrete until the top has been laid,
not only because it is yet so soft that
it can easily be scuffed but because
it is necessary to keep the surface
clean until the top is ready to be
placed.

A TARIFF REFERENDUM.

OF course, Senator Gallingers proposal for a
national referendum on the tariff legislation before
it shall take effect will have only the effect of some
what embarrassing the Democrats. The referendum
in that stage of progress where its enemies invoke
and its friends fear to accept it. Senator Gallnger
doesn't believe in the referendum, but there is
chance to make trouble by demanding it. The Demo-
cratic party declares its belief in the referendum
principle but manifestly doesn't want to apply it to
tariff. That's the way of politics. The best possible
reason why there will be no referendum in this case
is that there is not real popular demand for it, and
no machinery through which, if there we're such a
demand, it could be registered. In addition to that
proposal to keep the issue alive for another year,
and to worry business with long discussion on the
hustngs would arouse the country to well-nigh unan-
imous protest. Nobody would want referendum on
this subject at this time and nobody would want it
less than Mr. Gallinger, if there we're real chance
to get it.
Again, the Congressional election of 1914 will be
referendum on this legislation, in any case
Whether the country shall think, at that time that
the measure has made good" will be the one over
shadowing issue in the election. Can the country
vote more intelligently after trying the law for
wear, or after talking about it for a year without
trying it? Quite plainly, after trying it. All the Con-
versaton from all the stumps in all the States could
not lumine the real issue half so well as twelve
month experience with the new schedules. .

This is serious charge. 1t certainly justifies
having the lobby investigation look into the feather

Without doubt there are two sides to this feather
