decision, however, TO prevent Congress
from taking the tariff off of shoes and
shoe manufacturing machinery - which
would be quicker and more certain way
of reducing the present exorbitant prices
than favorable court decision.

downpour of rain did not dispe the

"army' today-the realization that
they are now on the "homo stretch
of their hike from New York. The

pears fresh enough after this twelve
mile march, General Jones may push
on to Bladensburg, a couple OF miles
nearer the national capital. The suf-

show as possible tomorrow when they
march into Washington. and don't
want too long hike along muddy
roads before they tramp through the

This was the second rainy day the

and the knowlede that the hike was
almost concluded overcame the disad-
vantages of water-soaked clothing.

ATTORNEYS EXPLAIN
THE 10 HOUR BILL

The following statement signed by
Caleb E. Burchenal and Charles T.
Curley. attorneys for the Ten Hour
Law Committee, who drafted the ten
hour bill, is authorized by The Ten
Hour Committee. IL forms the basis
Of a letter addressed Feb. q, by Mr..
Curley to James F, Hoey, OF the / Y.
L. Laundry, in reply TO certain ques-
tions asked by him:
The paragraph Of Section OF the
said bill reading, The presence OF any
such fema on the premises az any
other hours than those stated IN the
printed notice shall contitute prima
facie evidence Of a violation OF this
Act does not forbid the presence Of
employees on the premises during the
forty-fve minutes recess. The lam
guage is at any other hours than
those stated in the printed notice and
the Act provides that the time OF tho
forty-fv7 minutes recess appear in the
printed notice. n the time OF the re-
cess does not appear in the printed no
ltice it will be because Of permit from
the inspector who Is authorized in
certain contingencies. to allow the
omission.
I'm regard 70 another question, that
of the possible breakdown Of machin-
cry, a possible case has been sug-
gested in a normal work-day of from
to 10 a. m, and from 12.45 to 5.45
p. m.
"If Il wers found in the morning
that the machinery we're out Of order
and the employees thereby unable tC
work, and If it were estimated that two
hours work would be required to ad-
just the machinery. in our construe-
ton Of the Act, it would be competent
for an employersto change the begin
ming OF the working day, for that par
ticular day, from a. m. to . n. m.
Changing the hours on the printed no
tice accordingly. and dsmissing th'
employees until 2 a. m
This Act does not expressly or i'm
pliedly attempt to fix the beginning ol
ending hours OF a working day for an
employer affected by IT, but only pro
hibits the employment OF any EN-
ployes for more than ten hours he
tween the hours Of a. m. and II

ASKS FAIR TREATMENT
FOR CITY VISITORS

Charles r. Rudolph. one Of the most
prominent business men of the city.
was very indignant this morning when
seen by a reporter Of THE EVENING
JOURNAL. over the treatment ac-
corded a stranger in this city by one
of the conductors of the Delaware
avenue line of the Wilmington and
Philadelphia Traction Company.
Mr.. Rudolph said that a travelling
man named G. r. Rapple, OF New
York city, arrived in town and board
ed what he believed to be a Della
ware avenue car at the French street
station. The man was a stranger, but
had heard of the Clayton House and
told the conductor to let him off at
the hotel or to take him on 10 the
best hotel in town, If there we're one
better than the Clayton House. Evil
IDENTIFY the conductor paid little at
tention to the stranger for he was car
ried about two blocks above the Clay
ton House and then given Delaware
avenue tranfer by the conductor
which carried him back to the hotel.
Rather than risk being carried out OF
the city the next time the man walk
ed back to the Clayton House He
has since been to the Hotel DUPONT.
As soon as Mr.. Rudolph learned the
story he telephoned +. S. Taite, man
ager of the Hotel DUPONT to learn II
any discrimination was being prac-
ticed against the new hotel by con-
ductors on the trolley cars. Mr..
Taite said he knew Of no such dis
elimination.
Mr. Rudolph said he would take the
matter up with officials Of the traction
company and see if better treatment
could not be given to strangers in
the city. no matter what hotel they
wished to stop at.

EXPECT GOOD
BUSINESS YEAR

IN Its March -trade review the Ma
tional Bank OF Delaware says
1.-THE volume Of business can drop
quite a little from its present high
level without bringing any bad effects
and such a drop would ease up the
money situation and make IL possible
for large concerns to go ahead with
much needed additions and improve
ments.
For the month Of January the bank
clearings OF the country increased
more than Z per cent over the same
month Of 1912 and 1875 per cent. over
January, 1911. Outside New York city
January clearings showed a gain of
10 per cent over 1912, II per cent
over 1911 and Is per cent in ex-
cess Of 1910. January clearings
totaled 16,309 million dollars and out
side New York. 6,970 million dollars,
this latter figure being a new high
record.
while business failures we're fewer
in number during January, they were
greater in volume. January witnessed
1.814 failures with total liabilities OF
% million dollars. The amount in
volved was an increase of 3 million
dollars over January of last year, but
decrease OF one million dollars as
compared with January, 1871.
Some recession in business is TO
be expected. but transactions recently
have been so heavy that what would
appear to be a material falling off
would be nothing more than return
ing to the normal. Trading has been
in excess OF consumption and per-
manently trading can only equal con-
sumption While we cannot expect
to set new records in many lines il
looks at this time as though the year
1913 would give a good account OF
itself.

Attention. working women aud

The Ten Hour Law Bill does
not say that you MUST work ten
hours day as some Of you have

If you understand II so the bill
has been falsely represented to
you.
What e does state is that mo
female shall be permitted TO work
MORE than ten hours In any one
day or more than fifty-iive hours
a week
That means that ten hours is
tho greatest number OF hours, it
does not mean that you have TO
work ten hours. II YOU are em-
ployed only eight or nine hours
day. the bill does not affect YOU.
your employer would not mind
such a law because it would not
concern him. but II you work
over ten hours n day. will it not
be a blessing to have time for
rest and recreation? All Of YOU
must try TO win this hght--it Is
righteous cause and victory
means so much. N you work
