The Kenyon-Shepard bill. which Is
framed TO prohibit the interstate ship
ment OF intoxicants into dry territory,
to be used in violation OF State laws,
will pass the present Congress. Fa-
vorable action was foreshadowed this
AFTERNOON when the House Judiciary
committee decided to vote next We'd
nesday on the Webb bill. which il
practically the same measure as the,
kenyon-Shepard bill. A com 5ination
OF dry" Democrats and Republicans
was the cause of the action of this tu-
dietary committee in setting a lme
for a vote on the bill. The six Repub-
lican members OF the committee have
been anxious TO get a vote on the
workingmen's compensation bill. The
dry Democrats have likewise been try
ing To get vote in the committee on
the Webb bill. The force spoiled
issues to-day and forced an order
through the committee compelling ac-
tion on the two measures.
II is conceded by the opponents Of
the liquor measure that once IL is
brought before the House it's passage
cannot be blocked. The Senate will
vote on the kenyon-Shepard bill on
February 10th. It's adoption by that
body is conceded by its opponen.s.
The Kenyon-Shepard and Webb bills
are aimed primarily at bootleggers.
The bill will have an important bear
ing on West Virginia conditions when
that State joins the dry column.

Hughes Wants Goats.

Congressman Hughes. of the Fifth
West Virginia district, has started a
movement which will probably result
in partial lifting the ban against tie
importation OF milk goats into Amer
lca from foreign countries. Mr.. Hugh
es today called upon the Secretary OF
Agriculture Wilson and discussed the
matter with him. Experiments by
the department of agriculture in i'm
porting goats have shown that they
bring TO this country the deadly
mouth and hoOf disease and the Malta
fever. A. a result the importation OF
those goats is prohibited by the gov
eminent. In Mr. Hughes district
are many Syrian coal miners. These
Syrians want the milk goats from
their native land. They claim that
seven goats can be kept at the cost
o. one COW. and one goat gives one
third as much milk as 2 COW. fhe
r"at milk is also superior. The ami
maIs also are free from tubercular

day. For this they are paid cent
and a half, and sometimes two and
a half cents a message, often for very
hard and long trips. Many times,
they complain, by system of Jug
Cling, they are cheated out of it, or
lose it through the imposition of a
fine. In this way the more sturdy
boys are able to earn dollar day,
but the majority of the boys earn only
$3.50 and 81 week.
And out of this meager sum they
have to buy shoes that are worn out
rapidly in the course of their work.
Another thing that the boys pro-
test against is the charge for clean
ing and pressing the uniforms. The
boys used to buy their own uniforms
from the companies, but it was found
that more money could be squeezed
out of the boys by giving them the
uniforms and then charging them for
service, that in a great many in
stances is not performed all.
The most ridiculous thing, if it
were not such a serious matter to the
underpaid boys, is the charge for this.
The Western Union takes 81 cents
every two weeks out of their pay for
this and the Postal takes 81 every
month.
They say this is for the benefit of
the service, as the boys must look
neat and clean. The mothers have
no chance to do this work and retain
the money.
Messenger boys are fined from 1
to 5 cents for being a few minutes
late, although they get paid by the
message.
One boy, employed by the Western
Union, recently worked three weeks
and received no pay. His mother
called at the Office and was told that
he was entitled to no pay because
his fines amounted to what would
have been due him.

1900 MESSENGER BOYS MAY
ORGANIZE UNION ..--
The Western Union and the Postal
Telegraph Companies may be called
upon to face more foes, which, while
they may not be as effective as the
United States government, will cause
these two big trusts considerable
worry.
For, with the encouragement of
Mrs. Fred Packard. president of the
State Humane Society, the messen-
ger boys in the service of these two
companies may organize and strike
to do away with the present condi-
tons of slavery.
Everybody is working for better
conditions for working women" said
Mrs. Packard, 'but none seems to
take any interest in these poor boys.
They have been organized into sort
of club for five years now and they're
' ting for just little support and
they will then show the telegraph
magnates they will no longer tolerate
such conditions. There are 1900
messenger boys in Chicago and they
must be taken into consideration.
when we organized five years ago
the superintendent of the Postal and
Western Union companies came to
me and tried to forbid us from doing
so. 1 told them that they didn't own
the boys bodies and souls and could
not prevent them from organizing, if
the boys felt like it.
The boys are between IA and 16
years old and are supposed to work
ten hours a day. But many of the
boys complain of being forced to
work twelve and thirteen hours a

WAGON AND CAR COLLIDED.
Boy Probably Fatally Hurt at Lynn,
Mass, Yesterday.

Lynn, Mass, Dec. 22.-In collision
between a Boston & Northern sand car
and milk wagon on Eastern avenue,
opposite Sheldon street yesterday, Harry
Armstrong, l6 years old, of 1874 Ingalls,
street, was probably fatally injured
when he was thrown to, the pavement
after the milk wagon was overturned.
Armstrong is employed by w. E.
Downing, Peabody milkman. Yes
terday forenoon, as he drove out OF Shell
don street across Eastern avenue, the
sand car, in charge of Motorman Fred
Wells, was bowling along the avenue at
a fair speed. Wells applied the brakes,
but the distance was too short.
The wagon was tossed on its side and
the impact. threw Armstrong about 20
feet. He was unconscious when the
men reached him and at the Lynn hos
pital it was said that his skull had
probably been fractured.
About the same time, another collision
occurred on Eastern avenue, when q
Summer street car struck wagon owned
by B. M. Cook at the corner of Empire
and Essex street. Nobody was injured,
but the wagon was badly damaged.

What to Do With Your Baby When
You Go Calling.

The January Woman's Home Com
panion contains "a Page of Good Ideas
contributed by readers. A woman
states, as follows, what one young
mother does with her baby when she
goes calling:
ut sometimes happens that baby
must accompany mother on her after
noon calls, or the calls must be given
up. 1t seems a pity that the mother
who cares for her own little ones should
be deprived of social opportunities, yet
many mothers, remembering their own
unhappy experiences with baby callers,
prefer remaining at home to inflicting
their children upon their trends.
''One young mother has successfully
solved the problem of taking her baby
to her friends homes, and yet preserv-
ing harmony, by means of her carriage
cushion. This cushion invariably ac-
companies baby on our outings, and for
it there are number of plain white
linen eovers-so that there may always
be a fresh one-made with a plain
pocket of the linen stitched on the back
and closed with a flap which buttons in
place. In this pocket, before leaving
home, the mother quietly places some
thing of which the child is very fond,
or some new plaything. Arrived at a
friends home, the child is interested in
her own cushion, and plays contentedly
without disturbing the furnishings and
brie-a- bac."

PRES. WILSON HINTS
ABOUT SEVERAL
But He Doesn't Say What
Corporations He Has
in Mind

Washington, d. c., Dec 22.-Presi-
dent Wilson let it be known to-day that
some other corporations, besides the
American Telephone and Telegraph
company, had shown a disposition to
take the initiative in reorganization
to conform to the Sherman antitrust
law. He did not specify what corpora
tions We're referred to, although in an
informal discussion with callers day
he spoke of having some in mind.
President Wilson made it clear to his
callers that it would be the policy of
the. administration to cooperate in
every legitimate way to bring about a
satisfactory understanding OF the law
by the business men of the country and
that the executive department did not
want to raise the barriers against those
who wanted to obey the law.
The president had glow of health on
his cheeks and looked as well as ever
when he met the newspaper correspond
ents for the regular Monday morning
conference to-day for the first time in
several weeks.
