 Fore 100 years or more the paper mills of this country have been op- erated 24 hours each day.
 These mills usually start at mfd- night Sunday and do not stop until hidnight Saturday. They are running IA hours each week Those who are employed on the continuously running machinery are called tour-WoIkers, and they work one week from a. m- to 6 D. m, 66 hours, and the next week from S D. m to a. nn-, 78 hours, with no time off. for meals.
 That has been the custom in paper mills in5cthis country until the past few years when many mills have adopted three shifts of eight hours, in- stead of two shifts of 12 hours A law should be passed in every state that would require all continuous in dustries to operate on the three shift system

I 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 B hours each night have with his family?

 That such hours are into1erab1e and nutritious to health and happiness no fair-Hinded person can deny; in fact. it seems to me to be another form of industrial slavery. In many ways it 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 ex-

Flanagan Signs With Crackers
No Anxiety Over Dent Report

the New York Americans, undecided
whether to take a chance with Chance
or stick to the automobile business

fled with the Maxwell people.
In either event, it is improbable
that Carl will wear a Cracker uni

ted. He did some sterling work the
latter part of last season.
A NYWAY, there doesn't seem to be
much anxiety at Cracker head

contract, and not long ago he wrote
to Manager Smith, asking for small
shipment of baseballs, to begin light

and there seems to be little or no

chances and very little
strenuous training for that
sterling young Michigan bearcat,
Adolph Wolgast. The former
lightweight champion is going to
fight shy of the bouts with the
smaller fry of the lightweight
class, mindful of the fact that 1t
was against men of this classif1-
cation that caused\him his great
est troubles in the past. This in
cludes a couple of fractures of
the arm, obtained respectively in
battles with Jack Redmond and
Tommy Mcfarland.
WOLGAST Is not going to pass
" up these battles entirely, as
he needs them in his business, or
In other words, as a means of
keeping himself entirely Mt for the
more serious foes of his division.
But he Is going to be mighty gin
gerry about the kind of company
he picks out. Neither Is he going
to make any weight for any of
them unless there Is plenty Of
money in sight. Wolsast Is not
going to train any more in the
future than he has to in order to
keep a nice edge on his condition.
A IL this was brought out by
"A the negotiations that have
been in progress for several days
relative to meeting between
Wolgast and Tommy Gary in
Cincinnati. 1t was this same
Gary who took sick two days be-
fore he was matched with VOL
CAST in Fond du Lac and whose
substitute that night was Tommy
Mcfarland. AID rebroke his arm
then. The Cincinnati match was
not clinched because the promot-
ers didn't come through with a
guarantee OF sufficient size. 1t
brought out the statement from
Wolgast in Cadillac that he
wouldn't be bound down with
weight conditions for men that
were not right UP there near the
top.

MAXWELL AGENT IS
HOT after "C0LD|E"

e. S. Johnson, Maxwell agent at
Twin Falls, made an overland trip to
Boise this week. His mission to this
city was expressed to the Capital News
representative as follows:
II came here to get more Maxwells.
Sold out at Twin Falls and have got
the livest bunch of prospects in Twin
Falls that an auto salesman ever saw.
1t would make any man sick to see
what | am liable to lose II Mr.. Gold
stein don't furnish me more cars. He
says he has FIVE carloads on the way,
but Just take 1t from me 1 am going
to stay right here in Boise until I get
my share out of that shipment. Never
saw any car take as we'll as the Max
we'll and l am not new in the game
either"
Manager Goldstein of the Central
Auto company was very much peeved
because of the present situation in
Maxwell shortage, but he has kept the
wires busy in an effort to rush the
present shipment. He says that the
Twin Falls dealer is simply an ex-
ample of what he has to contend with
all over the state. 1t was only re-
Gently that Salt Lake dealers We're

Mr.. Goldstein limited that perhaps he
would resort to that method OF getting
