MANY RAILROADS
VIOLATE HOUR LAW
Several Companies Appear to Believe
It Easier To Pay Fines Than To
Obey Measure Of 1907
LIMITS DAY TO 16 HOURS
Have Various Excuses for Not living
Up To Requirments But Still
Others Have no Such Trouble

From Congressman C. H. Tavenner
Washington, December 20-In
March, 1907, the Congress enacted a
measure known as the Hours of Ser
vice Act, which forebade railroads
working their employees more than
16 hours at a stretch. That law is
being most flagrantly and willfully
violated, according to a report just
issued by the Interstate Commerce
Commission, which has been studying G
the matter.
The report shows that in the past
year 261,332 railroad employees were
required to work longer than Is
hours at a stretch, some of them as
long as 65 hours at a time. Every
one Of these violations Of the Hours
of Service Act could have been avoid
ed, according to the report In it's
Intellectual effort to enforce this law
the Commission has collected $780,
600 in fines, a sum which the rail-
roads willingly forfeited for the pri-
vilege Of disreSarding the law.
The railroads, of course, plead that
emergencies made it necessary to
work their employees illegally. Some
of the various excuses offered were:
Taking or running for water, by
clearing fires, by poor coal, bad wd-
ter, by leaking engines, by collisions,
by derailments, by track defects and
distractions, by landslides, high wa
ter and fire, by adverse weather con-
ditions, by congestion of traffic, by
station work, waiting for orders, and
meeting trains, by wire troubles, by
air troubles by hot boxes, by coupler
and drawbar defects, by sickness,
death, and personal injury, and by
iscellaneous causes.
This would all be very fine, and
perhaps the Commission would be
gulled by these excuses, except for
the significant fact that certain rail-
roads succeeded in obeying the law
almost to the letter. Certain roads
managed to escape the floods, derail-
ments and sudden death that affIct-
ed the offending roads like a plague
Of locusts
The answer is, of course, that the
offending roads did not wish to obey
the law. They took their chances on
drawing fines instead.

Ten thousand dollars for a sinsle
story! That is the reward for excal-
Nnce. 1t was won by Miss Leona Dal-
rymple of Passaic, N. J. When Miss
Dalrymple saw the announcement
that a Western firm would pay $4,000
for the best story she determined to
compete. Her Diana Of the Green
Van" was the successful story. This
is not her first effort, but it is her
hest. The author is young woman,
scarcely over twenty, and a bright
literary career has been foreshadowed
by this early success. The small pic
ture shows her winning smile.

Hoosier Poet Helps Red Cross Sale

James Whitcomb Riley's chief con-
tributiOn to theanti tuberculosis cam
paign in his native state, Indiana, last
year, was his autograph, written with
his left hand on a card which was
mounted a Red Cross Seal. The card
afterward was auctioned off for near

his name to any document for months
but he wished to do what he could,
although he could not use his right
hand at all. With much pain and Ia
Dor, however, he made his left hand
do the work.

of other nations and which called
upon General Villa for a strict &C.
counting of his acts should the rights
Of any foreigners be violated.
A communication also had been re.
ceived from General Carrarza, the
head Of the revolution, following the
protests Of the SpaniarGs that thei1
property had been seized and the
protests of other foreigners that they
| had been forced to pay money to the
rebel cause.
Ordered Property Held.
''I ordered all property belonging to
| Spaniards to be contscated and held
by the rebel government pending an
| investigation as to what Spaniards
aided Huerta," said Villa.
"In order to guarantee the property

CALGARY HAS MUNICIPAL

MAKES 1T PAY WELL

CALGARY, Alta, Aug. Sin spite
of the fact that a large number of
outlying feeder lines have been built
during the last year, tending to re-
duce the profits per passenger car
ried, the net earnings OF the Calgary
municipal railway system for the
month of June show $12,136.52 as the
net earnings for the thirty days.
The gross earnings Of the system
for the month showed the large to-
tai of S69.967.S5 as compared with
54,s0s.03 for June OF last year
which is considered very satisfactory
increase.
Wages of motormen and conductors
for the month of June amounted to
close to $4,000 while the wages paid
for the corresponding month Of 1912
were only about $4,000. TIE increase
is due to two things, the growth Of
