PLUMBERS LAW ILLEGAL.

Dallas, Tex, July s.-The Court Of
Civil Appeals has declared unconsti-
|tutional the state law requiring cities
of more than 10000 Inhabitants to
appoint boards for the issuance OF
plumbers licenses. Last year the en-
ploying and employers associations
started suit to conrpel Dallas to com
ply with the law. The court held the
law illegal because of the clause which
provided that all plumbers mustF Sc
cure iceuses, and that every plumb
ing firm must have at least one mem
Der who was licensed plumber A
strictly grammatical Interpretation OF
this twofold prescription would seem
to end with &he conclusion that some
men could be members of plumbing
firms, but not plumbers; but the court
chose to look at it from another angle.
According to the courts point of, view
some plumbers who belonged to firms
could operate without licenses, while
no independent plumber could do SO.
Hence the law was decided to be class
legislation discriminating against
plumbers not members of firms, and
was declared unconstitutional

ceived Monday by Sheriff Smith of
Marion county, asking if Fannie Sell
ms was confined in his jail. Follow
ing this came a letter asking if it
were true tat she was confined "in a
cell with men," This would seem to
be another deliberate attempt to make
it appear that Labor was misrepre-
sent1ng the case. It was never charg-
ed that she was in "cell" with men,
but that she twas the only woman
in Jail with men," Her cell, of
course, is occupied by herself alone.
but there is no privacy whatever, the
open barred side of the cell facing the
corridor, there being absolutely no
protection.
Her confinement, under the circum-
stances, is simply inhuman, and is
doubtless done in tie deliberate. pur.
pose of wrecking her health and

Every possible effort is being made
by the Ohio Valley Trades and Labor
Assembly to bring about the release
of Fannie Selhns, and these efforts
are being backed up by the other la
Dor bodies of the state, the most ac-
tive among them being the West Vir-
ginia Federation of Labor, through
President Corcoran and the Fairmont
Trades Council.
The latest step was taken by the
Ohio Valley Assembly last Sunday
when telegram was sent to Pardon
Attorney James A Finch Of the De-
partment of Justice, and this was fol-
lowed by lengthy letter.
Mr.. Finch had written J. A. Cheno
weth, for the Carpenters Union here,
stating that misrepresentation were
being made by Labor in the Fannie
Selins case, that she was not in jail,
but had been released on her own per
sonal bond, thus indicating what a
kind and good judge Daytono was. He
complained of the post card petitions,
which "are pouring into the president

THE STRUGGLE

Te climb is hard, the way is steep,
The path is rough and hard to keep,
The goal is far, and foes deride
The traveller on every side;
Yet, day by day, and night by night,
We nearer draw unto the height,
Until at last the dawning sun
Shines on the prizes nobly won;
And all the strife, and vain regret
By which the journey was beset
Forgotten lie amid the haze
OF fast receding yesterdays.

There will be great change In the

these are is not known, but II will
include two new ends. new half
back, and new quarter.
The half back shift will not be the

that Buzz" accomplishments lie
wholly In his ability to advance the
ball himself, and when It comes to
blocking and to catching punts, he Ia
not there. Yost announced the most
probable change will be the taking Of
Johnny Lyons from right end and US
ing him at right half. This shift was
a tremendous surprise on the campus.
Lyons performance on defence last
Saturday did not impress Yost as
much as did his plunging and line
bucking, so he decided that Johnny
could add strength to the offensive
end OF his team while his loss would
not be materially felt at the end Of
the line due TO the wealth of material
for the end positions. This is the
