NO BASIC SANcT|TY

Texas Judge Takes This View of
It In Upholding Validity of
Compensation Act.

WACO, Tex, March 1S.--If it is
legal to tax owners of dogs to create
a fund to pay for the destruction Of
dogs, Judge McCullouEh, OF the Mines
teenth District court, can see no rea-
son why the recently enacted compen-
sation act should not be classed as
good law @,%-i -ss-s--@-s---,,7t~.- - -
: This Vas the first time atcourt pass
ed on the legality Of the law, and tn
case was watched with interest. Judge
Mccullough holds that the several de-
fenses of the employer, known as '.fel-
low-servant's - rule" -, ''contributory
negligence: and assumed risk" are
have. no constitutional. sanctity, and
away with them altogether as de-
fenses. That very thing has been
done and approved by, the courts in
this and, many other. states.
- The. court further holds that the
state has the power to regulate in
dustries for the economic welfare Of
the community by levying tax, in
the form of an insurance, upon. the
same for the benefit of the employees
injured therein. This comes under
the police powers.
Judge Mccullough agreed that the
law was new departure for Texas,
but held that it was not antagonistic
to the federal or state constitution, as
it is based upon the proposition that
under our present system the loss
falls Immediately upon the employe,
who is, almost invariably unable to
bear it, and ultimately uon the COM
munity, which is taxed for the sup
port Of the INDECENT, and that our
present system is uncertain, unscien-
tific, and wasteful, and fosters a spirit
of antagonism between the employer
and the employe, which it is to the
interest of the state to remove"

voters of the party.

are doing, and they do not propose
to be .swayed by the charges made
against them by the, ,standpatters.
" In explanation OF their, position the
state conference, committeeman, head
ed by J. r. Jacobson, have issued the
following statement in answer to the
misleading statements made by the

The conference was not called in

M0YER TELLS STORY
IN COPPER INQUIRY
Closing Evidence Indicates That
Copper Country Is Dominated
: BY Mine Barons.
G@c%.EN WERE ORDERED: .
%x1eoR0V0KE VIOLENCE
They D'; with a vengeanee'
Strikers v Tolerant Truth
Comes to>Surface.

The closing evidence In the In
vestigation conducted by the congress
'sional committee in the Michigan
strike indicates that things were car
ried with high hand in the copper
country by the servants of the mine
owners. Every instrument OF the
state and local governments was
turned against the strikers.
Professional gunmen, under oath,
declared they we're instructed by their
captain to provoke the strikers to an
ger and use every means to induce
to start trouble. Henry Batters, one
of the gunmen, testified that he had
with the strikers; that he and others
broke up a strikers parade to get
them to commit violence; that Curry,
another gunman fired into boarding 8
house of Mrs. Benson of Mohawk,
with the idea that the company would
decide the house should be guarded
and that it would be a soft beat"
for Curry.
Meyer Was Dramatic. -
The testimony of President Moyer
about the manner in which he was
deported from the copper country was
most dramatic in It's effect Moyer
told straight forward story, and he
was asked a number Of important
questions by members of the commit
tee. He left, no doubt, in the minds
of any about the connection James
McNaughton and other representa-
tives of the copper kings, had with
the affair.
Mr.. Meyer took occasion to state
to the committee that he at all times
was opposed to violence in a strike
or at any time. He explained, and
he was emphatic in his explanation,
that he at all times urged his men to
obey the law. When asked by the
attorney for the miners whether or
not he believed in the government
ownership of mines. Meyer answered,
yes" - ~
;. The attorney for the mine: owners
also wanted to know If Moyer-bereved
that labor should be master over the
product, and he replied: Yes, by all
| means.".

WOMAN Y MAJ N'sllIN ". LEGAL G


WASHINGTON. March 13.-The
United States Supreme Court has rul-
ed that Ohio's law regulating, the
working hours of women, lis Legal.
The law declares that noewon1an shall
work more than nine hours day or
more than 81 hours week.. The
fight has been carried over q period
of three years, and was the result OF
an agreement between Attorney Cen
eral Hogan and the attorney for the
Ohio Manufacturers association to-
test the law. A milliner in Columbus
worked one of her employees SIS hours
in one week and was held in techni-
cal custody. According, to Ohio off,
cials the decision affects $4,000 WON
en- in workshops and factories alone
and over :25,oo0 in mercantile estab
lishments who come under the law,
which is now declared legal by the
highest court in the land.

EFFECT OF WOMAN LABOR ON HOME AND SOCIETY

years the increase has been more
rapid than in the first part Of the
same period. OF the population in
the United States in 1900 one-flfth Of
its women were bread-winners; in
Great Britain, "a per cent; in Austria
40 per cent. Women labor in Austria
not only extends into the realm of
industry. but also into the realm Of
agriculture. Last year I passed
through southwestern Austria at the
harvest moon and it was a very
common thing to see the women
working with the men in the fields,
moving, raking and carrying in the
hay. The same 10 true in Switzer-
land, though the per cent Of women
labor Is not so high. In France the
per cent is 49,, in Germany rs and
in Italy 81.
/ :, Their Health Is Menaced.
In our own country it is to be noted
that the greatest increase in woman
labor has been in the trades most
dangerous to health, such as tobacco
workers, bookkeepers, glove workers
and leather. workers. A large per
cent Of the cigars are made by wo-
man and child labor. At the Chicago
industrial exhibit few years ago,
there was placed on exhibition the
different lines Of industry and espe-
cial care was taken to present the diff
ferent features Of woman labor. Hero
they were working in film factories
ten hours a day, in room so dark
that the visitor had to be led, by the
band, In the tWine workers section

the nursery, it is practically turned
loose upon the street, and soon it
becomes a, rasamufhn OF the street.
Where there are no children in the
home, he:husband works in one sec!
ton and the. wife in another, there Is
a gradual lessening Of the home ties
and these in time nndt thsit solution in,
the divorce court. ...s..-.,
Again, there may be, by reason Of
the woman's being able to independ-
entity earn her own living, a false
standard set up in the home, and in
stead of giving. her time and thought
to making the home cheerful, she re-
fuses to do the "drudgery" Of the
household duties, and thus the home
sie rent asunder. - @
Decreasing in Churches.
Women Of this. class are constantly
decreasing in the churches. This is a
sad omen, nevertheless a true one.
They will tell you their work is so
hard during the week they must have
Sunday as day of recreation. and
usually in the morning they sleep and
in the evening patronize some cheap
place Of ofsamusement. I do not agree
with some religious leaders or social
students who say that to elevate
wages y to stop crime but there is
some connection between low wages
and low or isnoble living. Just how
much we are not Bile to say, but from
nang observations among different
cities We -un derstan ia somsthing of
