CONGRATULATIONS
BY COACH HOLDEN.

1T certainly was a great
game. so great a game that IL
seems a shame that our team
had to lose. Bellaire earned
their victory. as they have
their long string OF previous
ones by sticking to IL to the
last. Their claim to the
championship is q clean-cut
one. and they are to be con
graduated.
while many of US who were
on side lines can figure out
how Wheeling might have
won, do not think anybody
with a heart could criticise
our boys. l asked them to
play their best and they did
IL. I could not ask more
from them. and am certainly
proud OF their efforts. /
firmly believe the magnifi-
cent stands they made at
various times will be remem-
bered when many OF Wheel
ing's notable victories will
have been forgotten. Defeat
under circumstances such as
those OF yesterday leaves no
sting. Guy Holden, coach

FIND BODY OF MISS
JESSIE M'CANN

New York. January 4.-The body of
Miss Jessie E. Mccain, the young set
tlement worker, who disappeared from
her Brooklyn home just a month ago.
was given up by the sea today. 1t was
found by a watchman shortly after
daybreak at Coney Island, having been
washed ashore by the heavy surf dur
ing last nights storm.
Long immersion had made the fea-
lures unrecognizable, but indentifica-
ton of the young woman by her fam
lily was made possible by signet ring
with the initials -. r. NJ and by ar
ticles of clothing Miss Mccain wore
the day she disappeared
Miss Mccain was last seen by her
family when she left her home Decem-
Der L. supposedly to attend to settle
ments work duties. few days later
her father, a well to do business man,
notified the police of her disappearance
and offered $1,000 reward for informa-
tion as to her Whereabouts. He also
had her photograph thrown on screens
or moving picture theatres throughout
the east
The police today gave credence to
the story of woman who asserted
that she saw Miss McCann the day a after
her disappearance near a bathing pa
vflion. at Coney Island. where the body
was found. T~e was no signs Of
violence on the body. according to the
physicians who examined it, and the
police have no clew as to the manner
IN which she was drowned

EVILS OF LONG WORK DAY
BY CHARLES SUMNER BIRD
President Il. w. Bird ~ Son

Exclusive Service The Survey Press
Bureau.)
For 100 years or more the paper mills
hours each day.
These mills usually start at midnight
Sunday and do not stop until midnight
Saturday. They are running 144 hours
each week. Those who are employed on
the continuously running machinery are
called tour workers, and they work one
week from a. m. to p. M, 66 hours,
and the next week from p. m. to Z a. m,
rs hours, with no time off for meals.
That has been the custom in paper
mills In this country until the past few
years, when many mills have adopted
three shifts Of eight hours, instead of two
shifts of II hours. A law should be passed
in every state that would require all con-
tinuous industries to operate on the three
shift system.
L have had practical experience in pa
per making. l worked for years in a pa
per mill when / was boy. both on the
13-hour shift and on the n-hour SHIFT.
nights and days. / know from practical
experience what it means to work 13 hours
from o'clock at night until o'clock the
next morning one week. and from In the
morning till at night, II hours, the next
week, year in and year out / know that
this sort of work is intolerable and
speak with deliberation and with knowl-
edge. Tt is intolerable, not only because
of the number of hours, which, under
any condition of labor would be excess
sive but also because in many paper mills
the conditions under which men work are
severe and trying
| ask the carpenters, bricklayers, ma
chinists and other industrial laborers to
consider what such long hours of labor
mean. How long would you work 70
hours a week? Compare the lot of these
men with your own hours of labor. 4S to
81 hours each week | want every man
and woman who reads this to think what
such long hours would mean to him or to
her in their home life What time can
a man who works IS hours each night
have with his family?. What time can the
same man have during the next week
when he works II hours each day with
no time off for meals?
That such hours are intolerable and
injurious to health and happiness no
fair-minded person can deny; in fact,
1T seems to me to be another form of
industrial slavery. In many ways 1t
is as dangerous to the future welfare
of the nation as was the slavery of the
black race; the men employed for such
long hours are taxed beyond their
strength and the physical exhaustion,
day after day, week after week. soon
results in a lower standard Of life. No
time or energy Is left for the devel-
opment of healthy home life which
is SO essential to the welfare of the
nation.

employment in Massachusetts a bill
was introduced in the last legislature
by the progressive party of Massa-
chusetts which provided that:
Persons employed as tour workers IN
any paper mill, foundry factory or In
any manufacturing establishment or
mechanical or other industrial estab-
lishment which is operating both day
and night, either continuously or in
termittently, shall be limited to work
4S hours per week and eight hours per
day.
Tour workers mean "all employees
who tend or are employed for the pur-
pose of tending machinery or appli-
ances of any description which are OPP
Grated both day and night either con-
tinuously or internationally"
This bill was defeated. One of the
arguments used against 1t was that the
extra expense of the three-tour sys-
tenn would drive the paper industry
OUT of the state. Such an argument
rs unsound. l doubt very much wheth-
er the increased cost of labor due to
a change from the two-tour to the
three-tour system in paper mill rep
resenting as it does, / think, approx
imately not over 2 per cent of the
average value of the product, would be
sufficient to drive anyone out of the
paper business. Furthermore, / doubt
whether 1t is TRUE that 1t costs even
that amount. because I believe that
mills that run on the eight hour basis
or three tours as compared to the 12-
hour or 13-hour basis, produce moro
paper and better paper, due to the i'm
proved spirit among the men and due
to the physical capacity of the men to
do better work.
1t wouldn't take much better spirit
or much better physical capacity on
the part of the men to produce enough
better and enough more paper In any
paper mill to make up the difference
between the labor cost of three-t tour
as against two-tour systems. Further
more, IL 1t Is necessary for any mill
in order to exist to employ men 72
hours week year in and year out
then the sooner that mill Is removed
from the state and the country the
better will it be for the men and wom-
en- of the country.
That bill ought to have passed and
some time such a bill will become
law. The public Is becoming more alive
each year to the economic waste Of
excessive hours of labor. 1t Will de-
mand legislation to correct these evils
because they will be remedied satis-
factorily in no other way.

of this sort in New England, for the saw
ings bank system of the New England
states possesses the entire confidence of
those who have savings to deposit
Gradually, however, large corporations,
particularly in New York, taking a hint
from these earlier experiences in the

fering interest upon deposits as high as
that offered by savings banks. The state
ment was made that deposits of this kind

the whole has proven to be convenience

Bankers of authority In this city, how

some danger. especially in times of bust
ness depression or panic, in the MAIN
tenance of private institutions of this

1t may be that the liabilities of S2500,OOO

Of the regular semi-monthly reports by
the census bureau on ginning and is gen.
orally expected to put an end to very
small crop estimates.
As opinion now stands the trade looks
for hearish figures and probably the ma
iority OF bearish traders expect a total
ginning from the first of the season in
excess of the governments crop estimate,
made on December IL. The figures viii
compare with 12,9O7, 405 bales ginned up
to the end of December last year and IA
a.1e2 bales glnned to the same time two
years ago. In the period between Decem-
her IL and December 81, last year, there
were ginned ass 1863 bales. Up to Decem-
Der 10 this year there were ginned l2,-
a23 900 bales.
II bearish expectations are met tho

The reason for this Is that last week mill
takings fell off. Bulls maintained the
shrinkage was due to holidays, but hears
said IL was due TO less favorable condi-
tions among the mills. Continued small
mill takings this week would be consid-
cred powerful argument in favor of a

spirit In bringing the Shrners here for
their 1914 convention, is one of the main
springs of the fight on the bulletins and
fer a very interesting reason.
1t is the evident purpose of the men
and religion movement, IL they can, TO
put all the locker clubs and near beer sa-
looms in Atlanta out of business. The
executive committee of the movement is
working as hard as 1t can in that direc-
ton.
1t Is feared II the Atlanta clubs were
all shut up before the meeting. of the
Shripers convention. the Shriners would
eancel their date with Atlanta and go
somewhere else. A Shriner convention
vithou. an oasis Is a thing almost incon-
ceiyabie, and from the Shriners' stand
point II would not do to offer these Wis
itors nothing but a dry, sandy desert on
their arrival.
According to the report, therefore, tho
attack ON the bulletins had for one of
its purposes at least checking the aggres-
siveness of the men and religion move
