THE RIGHT TO REST.
New Standard In Court Decisions or
Labor LEGISLATION.

New Standard In Court Decisions an
Labor Legislation.
The supreme court OF Mississippi has
established a new standard for other
states to follow. 1t has handed down
decision which marks q new epoch
in the progress OF labor legislation.
This decision, which has passed al
most without comment, sustains the
validity OF the Mississippi ten hour
law enacted in March, 1912. Other
courts have sustained other ten hour
laws, but the new and startling fea-
ture Of the Mississippi decision Is that
for the first time in the history Of the
United States 1t uphods, as a reason
able health measure, a general law
regulating the hours of labor In manu-
featuring industries, applying to men
and women alike.
Hitherto no general statute regulat-
ing the hours OF work for men In pri-
vate employment has been sustained.
Only In occupations manifestly dan
gerous to health have the courts held
that mans hours of labor NAV be
limited by law or Ia an occupation like
the railroad service where public safe
ty Is at stake.
The urgent question now arises
whether the ultimate authority, the
supreme court of the United States
will sanction the advanced stand OF
the Mississippi supreme court and thus
open the way for legislation In other
states.
Two more years will probably inter
vene before the validity of the Missis-
sfppi law viii come before the su-
preme court of the United States, and
the question of limiting mems hours of
labor by law will again, after lapse
Of ten years, be presented to the high.

Applied Local Tactics,

A gray haired lawyer enjoyed
laugh at the expense of his friend. an
uptown bank cashier, the other day.
The youngest member Of the law
firm, also known to the cashier, think
ing possibly to make the latter the
butt Of a practical joke, had attempted
without success to change a counter
felt fifty cent piece at the window.
Told OF the incident an hour later
the elderly lawyer reached into his
pocket and drew out number OF

STATUS OF G0MPERs CASE.
Unusual Court Proceedings of tho Dls-
trict of Columbia.


]. J. Darlington, representing the su-
preme court of the District of Colum-
bia, recently appeared In the United
States supreme court to make a motion
for certiorari to review the judgment
OF the court OF appeals in the case OF
Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell and
Frank Morrison At the same time the
labor leaders formally submitted their
side Of the case TO the supreme court,
Ii being the second time this contempt
action has been before the highest tri-
bunal
Attorney Darlington based his motion
on the ground that the court of appeals
had no power to diminish the sentences
imposed on the labor leaders His ap-
pearance on behalf Of the supreme
court of the District of Columbia was
unheralded and aroused considerable
comment among the members of the
bar as most unusual proceeding.
The court OF appeals OF the District
Of Columbia had previously reduced
the sentences of the labor leaders to
one months Imprisonment for Com
pers and fines for Mitchell and Morri-
son. The court then denied a motion
for rehearing Of the contempt case
and also declined to grant a writ OF
error by which Gompers and his asso-
ciates sought to have the appellate
court agree that the case be reviewed
by the United States supreme court

noticed that one man was wearing the

explained that he had left his kilt ut

Tommy discovered the snake Just as

HAZARDOUS MAIL ROUTES.
Postmen In Some Countries Are Never
Sure of Their Lives.

The camel postman in the Sahara
hasn't any cinch-that is, if he has a
family he's anxious to live for or hap
pens to be leading care free bachelor
existence. for he needs all the nerve
that he can possibly summon on every
trip that he makes. for the wild tribes
regard him as their particular prey.
and he never does know when he starts
out whether or not he is going to reach
his destination
Neither has the postman in some
parts of Switzerland the safest job in
the world In fact, in several places In
that country 1t is considered just about
the most dangerous profession that a
man can enter
You see some of the postoffices are
situated at height of 1000 feet There
is even a letter box at the summit of
Vanguard, which is nearly 10000 feet
above the sea level Here all sorts of
disastrous things have happened to un-
fortunate carriers of mail Three have
been crushed to death by avalanches
and a large number swooped down
upon and killed by fierce eagles.
Then In India the postman always
has to be on the lookout for snakes. 1t
is claimed that within the last year
$50 were killed by snake bites and
twenty-seyen eaten by tigers
Queer, isn't It, when in this country
the business Of being postman seems
about the most harmless and least dan
gerous Of any man could pick out?
In parts of Siberia they have only
two mail deliveries a year, while in the
interior of China they have no regular
delivery or regular Chicago

members were doing their duty
by the union label these efforts
among them would not be need
