TO HIT FOR TEN-HOUR DAY.
A ten-hour day for railroad en-
ployes throughout the country will be
asked by the railroad unions at the
next meeting Of congress. This, if
passed, will take the place Of the six
teen-hour law now in force.
The General Managers Assn,
composed of railroad heads, will
fight the propose Iadw. They say
that a ten-hour day would force them
to employ twice as many men as they
now hire.
The union will ask several other
changes. They are expected to de-

JUDGE FoELL REFUSES TO SET
INJUNCTION ASIDE
Judge Charles NJ. Foeu refused to
set aside the injunction he issued to
the United States Broom and Brush
Co. restraining the picketing of
strikers at that plant. Atty Dan
Cruice claimed that this Injunction
was granted on an insufficient state
ment of facts.
The injunction issued by Judge
FOell is one Of the most severe ever
issued in a strike. It prohibits the
strikers or any one connected with
the union even appearing on streets
approaching the factory of the broom

It forbids any members Of the

A LEGEND OF OUR LORDS CROSS

Lot had escaped from Sodom when
there appeared to him an angel hold
ing three cypress cuttings in his
hand. "Plant these" said the angel;
land If they live and grow, your
great sin shall be pardoned. If they
die, you shall be punished as you de-
serve. The water with which you
refresh them must be from the River
Jordan and must be brought fresh
each day.
Here was hard task, but Lot did
not question its justice. Every morn
ing he made journey to the sacred
river, bringing back the water for his
precious trees. which grew and
fourished amazingly.
One morning, as he was returning
to Hebron, a beggar met him by the
roadside, and asked for a drink of
water.
II can give him little." unused
Lot, land then have enough for my
trees"
But when the beggar's thirst was
quenched. there appeared another.
and yet another, until the water was
gone. Then lot threw himself down,
buried his face in the sand, and wept
When at length he raised his head,
an angel stood near him.
"Why do you weep?" he asked.
And Lot told him.
BE not alarmed" answered the
heavenly visitant. obedience is ac-
ceptable in the sight of God, but
charity is even more so. You served
Him in succoring His poor. Hence
forth, as your reward, the trees shall
thrive without water. Your long pen
ance is over"
Thus it came about that the cy-
press trees grew without the aid Of
Lot. And when one of them was old
and mighty, the Cross of Christ was
made from it: that He. the legend
runs, "who died for His love Of man
kind, might suffer on the Tree which
was blessed by the grace of charity. !"

CELEBRATE PoPE's RETURN,
Catholics Observe Centennial of Pins
Wis Arrival in Rome.


The Catholic Church has celebrat-
ed with fervor the centennial of the
return to Rome of Plus VII-the
Pope who suffered at the hands of
the great Napoleon almost as much
as did his predecessor, Plus vi, who
died in exile in 1900.
Plus VII had the satisfaction of
re-entering Rome in triumph, and he,
as well as Plus x, 100 years after,
regarded that event as triumph for
the Church.
1t is recalled that when the exiled
Pope arrived in Rome over the Via
Flamina, he was met at the Piassa
del Popolo by large concourse of
the faithful. among whom, on the
steps of the Church of Santa Maria,
was a nobleman, % years of age,
who knelt, making the sign Of the
cross. When the Pope impaired the
Papal benediction he showed great
emotion, the tears running down his
cheeks. The young man was Count
Giovanni Maria Mastai-Ferretti. who,
forty-one years later. sat in the chair
of st. Peter as Plus TX.
Count Ludovico Pecci, the eldest
nephew Of Leo XIII, has recalled an
other interesting incident:

One Of the most important fea-
lures of the Panama-Pacif1c Interna-
tional Exposition will be the great
series of Congresses, Conferences and
Conventions to assemble in San Fran
cisco between February 9th and De-
cember 4th, 1915. AS the material
exhibits will show progress on all
lines, so will the Congresses and Con-
ferences gather together the expert
ence of the ages in education, sci
ence. art. industry and social service.
The President and Directors of the
Panama International Exposition
have from the first recognized the de-
STABILITY of providing for series Of
Congresses and Conferences that
would stand as a monument long af-
ter the material features Of the Ex-
position have been forgotten. The
progress already made justifies the
statement that this hope will be fully
realized. Two hundred and twenty
six Congresses, Conferences and Con-
ventions have already been definitely
scheduled for San Francisco during
the Exposition. Both the American
and the International Associations
are evincing the keenest interest in
participating in this great series of
National and International gather
ngs. With the Exposition as
world forum, every conceivable line
of human thought will have represen-
tation. Delegates will be present
from practically all civilized nations.
With educational, scientific, indus
trial, social and spiritual service the
central thought of this great series of
Congresses, Conferences and Conven-
tions, the participation of all relig-
ious denominations is much to be de-
sired. In this connection, it should
be noted that the nations, predomi-
nantly Catholic in their religion, are
participating in the Exposition, as
world event, making for National and
International progress and harmony.
The American Federation of Cath
Ollie Societies is such representative
body Of the highest type of American
citizenship and its meeting in San
Francisco in 1915 would represent
most important element in this Ma
tional and International series of
meetings.
In every sense the Exposition of
1915 is an undertaking which, while
devoted to the welfare of the world,
is nevertheless to become an express
sion of the pride and patriotism of
the people of the United States. AS
both loyal Catholics and patriotic cit
liens, I trust both yourself and the
members of the Executive Commit
tee of your great Federation will give
the most careful consideration to the
suggestions made as to the part your
Federation may take in this celebra-
ton and especially in it's intellectual
program.
Very truly yours,

Dear Sir:
beg to acknowledge receipt of
your favor of the 14th instant. The
Universal Exposition at San Fran
cisco in 1915 is a distinctly National
undertaking, determined upon by
the Congress of the United States,
and designated by the President of
the United States, for the purpose
of celebrating the opening of the
Panama Canal, national accom-
plishment that Importantly affects
the entire world.
In assuming the burden and ex-
pense of this mammoth celebration,
in response to the call of the Presi-
dent and Congress-. the people of
California are discharging an import
ant public duty and executing Ma
tional trust shared by every State IN
the Union and by the entire citizen
ship of the Nation. While this great
interhemisphere waterway is a Ma
tional project, it is nevertheless a
Worlds asset, and the celebration Of
its opening will be participated in by
all countries and all peoples.
In February, 1912. the President
Of the United States issued Procla-
nation, announcing the holding Of
this great Exposition and inviting the
nations Of the world to take part on
scale BETTING their dignity and i'm
portance.
The negotiations with foreign ma
tions following the invitation of the
President of the United States to
participate in the Exposition are con-
Quoted entirely through the depart
ment Of the State. It is not expected
that the officials Of the Exposition
are to be consulted, or have any
