 F0R THE CH|NKS Plan Another RebeIIion-Patriots Ask Aid of Bandits to Start the

PEKIN, China, Dec. 2-The Chinese rebels are becoming more; and more active and they have started negotia- lions with the bands of outlaws i'm festing the country to start a new rebellion and they promise to organ ize large army" soon as the first blow is struck.
 The southern provinces of China are dissatisfied with the dictatorship of President Yuan Shih-Kai. who now holds the reins of power, and who has imprisoned nearly all of the mem bers of parliament who disagreed with him. The rebellion of last July was short-lived, but since that time the rebels have been secreting arms and are said to be prepared.
 President Yuan has ordered the army in readiness to attack the reb' els at the first sign of trouble and already has ordered many executions of men believed to be favorable to the rebel cause.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2.-The Un- ited States federal court has decid. ed that the California law prohibit ing the employment of women for more than eight hours in any one day is constitutional.
 The employers of female help plan to carry the case to the highest court in the land and immediately gave mo- tice of appeal from the district court to the supreme court at Washington. The judges decided in favor of the eight-hour law on the ground that pub lie policy justified the passage of laws discriminating in favor of women The attorneys for the employers argu- ed that any law which was not op- erative against all citizens alike was unconstitutional.
 Several men are now under indict- ment and 2 few have been convicted for violating the law and compelling women to work longer hours than the law allowed.

CHILD LABOR LAW
 |S HELD VALID
Supreme Court Decides Against Min ing Companies Who Attack Con-
 stitutionaIity of the Act.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 2-The su- preme court has ruled that the Illin- ois child labor law passed by the st te legislature is valid. The law went into effect last spring and re- suited in numerous prosecutions of companies which employed children in their establishments.
 The case which was carried to the higher court concerned boys employ ed in the mines. The companies con- tended that the law was unconstitu- tional and appealed to the courts. The lower court held that while there was no law covering the case it was in the best interest of the public and should be sustained. The supreme court has taken the same view.
 The decision of the court is receiv- ing favorable editorial comment from many of the large daily papers. They agree that while it would be danger ous for the court. to do more than interpret the laws that in like cases where the best interests of human be- ings are concerned their decisions must be approved by the people gen erally.

DEER HUNTING
 SEASON ENDS
Fatalities Have Been Unusually Heavy Despite the Fact That ResuIa-
 tions Were Enforced.

CHICAGO, Dec. 2.-Deer hunting ended for the season on Sunday night in five states along the Great Lakes and the hunters are returning from distant camps with their trophies.
 During the open season one hun dred and forty persons have been killed and the same number suf- fered injuries which will render many of them cripples for life. One hundred thousand licenses were granted 10 hunters.
 The number of fatalities this year las been unusually heavy despite the fact that hunters are required to wear .ed caps while stalking deer through 'he timbers. This precaution is nee e5sary to protect them from inex- terienc"d hunters who shoot at the first sight O moving object.
 Many of the injured are being cared for at distant camps in the forests. It k expected that many bodies of missing hunters who have met their ta1es in the woods will later be found by the forest rangers.

MINES MUST PAY CORPORATION TAX Government Will Get Double Revenue on Profits From the Successful
 Mining Ventures.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-Profitable mines must pay the corporation tax the same as any other business. ac- cording to a decision handed down by the supreme court yesterday. When the income tax went into ef- feet recently many of the large min ing companies protested against pay ment of the corporation tax. They claim that profits from the mining industry would be subject to dou- ble tax if the company had to pay the corporation tax on it's profits as the individual stockholders would have to pay the income tax on the same profits which had already been paid through the company.
 The decision will mean many mil lions of revenue for the government, as the, mining industry of America is one of the most profitable indus tries of the nation.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-The su- preme court has handed down a rul- ing to the effect that publishers can not fix the selling price of copyright, ed books. The decision is a death blow 10 the publishers trust, which has heretofore maintained the price of books at uniform rates in all parts of the country.
 The case was carried to the su- preme court by dealer who sold be- low the price asked by competitor. He was refused a second consign- ment unless he signed written agree ment to sell the books at the prices set by the publishers. He appealed to the court. claiming that the book trust was acting in restraint of trade. The case was decided adversely to the trust in the lower court and has now been confirmed by the supreme court.
