CHASING THE RAINBOW.
Curious Legends That Are Told In
Different Countries.


We have all of us heard stories of
the treasure at the end of the rain
bow. There is a pot of gold there, you
know And if we could only walk far
enough, run fast enough, we might
find it and be ever thereafter happy
That is what our nurses tell US when
we are children, isn't it?
And sometimes we learn that the
rainbow is a bridge. and the thunder
is the roar of the heavy wheels going
over it.
These are the stories that we hear
in childhood about the rainbow. Chill
dren of other lands hear many other
stories.
In Greece nurses tell the children
that If any one by chance stumbles
over the END of the rainbow his or her
sex is changed. a fine story that to
run away from the ends of the rain
bow instead Of seeking them to find
our pot of gold
The little Turk hears from his nurse
that if he can but touch the band of
orange that spans the heavens in the
rainbow his head will turn to silver,
with rubies for eyes and teeth of gold.
In many parts of Russia the rain
bow is called a pump, and in Hungary
1t is called Gods pump" and "Noahs
pump"
In Russia, in some provinces, the
wells are covered with strong plat
forms, so that the water cannot be
drawn from them by the rainbow. and
In other provinces it is said that three
angels have charge of the rainbow
one to draw water through it from the
earth, another to give water from it to
the clouds and another to return the
water to the earth in the form of rain

DAY or REST UPHELD.
New York Court of Appeals Sustains
Labor Law Requirements.

New York Court of Appeals Sustains
Labor Law Requirements.
New York court of appeals has up
held the clause of the labor law giving
employees in factories and mercantile
establishments one day of rest in sew
en-. The question in dispute, however,
is likely to be carried to the United
States supreme court
The opinion was unanimous and was
written by Judge Hiscock, who said:
We see at the outset that it is ap-
plicable only to certain classes of en-
ployees, but these are they who work
in factories and mercantile establish
ments. We know as a matter of com
mon observation that such labor is
generally indoors and imposes that
greater burden on health which comes
from confinement many times accom-
panied by crowded conditions and i'm
pure air. Thus special conditions are
presented which become a reasonable
basis for special consideration
The thought of one day Of rest in
seven has come down to us fortified
by centuries of recognition. 1t is true
that often it has been coupled and per
haps subordinate to the desire for re
ligious observances. But the idea OF
rest and relaxation from the pursuits
of other days has also been present
and, whether we like it or not, we are
compelled to see that in more recent
times the feature Of rest and recrea-
ton has been developing at the ex.
pense of the one of religious observ-
ance.
In our opinion the views we thus en-
terrain are supported by both authori-
ties prescribing general rules for the
exercise of the police power and by
those dealing with this specific subject
of health legislation for employees.

Appeal For Funds.

last November, considered appeals for
financial assistance from three inter

instance was left with the executive

issued circular to all affiliated bodies
requesting that donations be made to

Way to industrial Betterment.

The workers cannot be saved; they
must save themselves. The shorter
work day for the unorganized and for
women is a problem of organization.
Let US not be beguiled into short cut
methods that lead into the quicksands
of lethargy imposed by legislation. In
dustrial betterment and progress lie In
the well known paths agitation, edu-
cation, organization.

from this tried and established policy

ingmen's compensation commission, tes-
titled recently before the federal COM
mission on industrial relations. In re-
sponse to an inquiry he said:
1T has been largely during the last
fifteen years that large combinations
have grown up. In some instances
they have resulted in improvement for
the men. The United States Steel cor
poration has done that in safety and
sanitation. But, on the other hand, it
has curbed the rights of the men, par
ticularly in denying the right Of organ
ization. / want to give the corporations
all the credit due them, but nothing
compensates for the denial of the right
to organize. There win be no perma-
nent industrial peace unless it is based
on justice. 1t will never come as long
as the men are denied the right to or
ganize. I think the discomfort is a
healthy, constructive one which makes
for the building up of better things"
Mr.. Mitchell pointed to Lawrence,
West Virginia and other places where
big strikes have occurred in the last
few years. He declared these dis
turbances due to the corporations re-
fusal to allow the employees the right
of association and organization, and
these strikes might have been prevent
ed, the witness thought, if the employ
ers had given the workers that priyi-
lege.
There will be no permanent indus
trial peace unless the workingmen
have the right of collective bargaining
for the sale of their labor continued
Mr.. Mitchell. What these men want
is not gifts, but independence. They
want reasonable security in their jobs.
They want to feel that they will not be
discharged except for a just cause"
The laws for the protection of work
ingmen are more strictly enforced in
the states where the laborers are or
ganized, the witness testified.
Where the men are organized they
have political power, not an active
power, but potential political power"
he added
Mr.. Mitchell thought the corpora
tions and large organizations of cap
ital had tended to lower the standard
of American citizenship wherein they
had made the men work longer and for
less wages.
"The standard Of citizenship is in
separable from the standard of wages"
he declared.
Wherever there is an increase in
wages l have found there is a raising

While the anthracite miners do not
get as high wages as they should and
work too long, their condition today

Canal Workers Protest.

A meeting was held at Panama the
other day of organizations of canal
workers to protest against the pro-
posal to charge canal employees for
rents, fuel and light as provided for
by an executive order effective March
]. Letters of protest were sent to la
Dor leaders in the United States, in
cluding Samuel Gompers, president of
the American Federation of Labor.
The contention Of the workers is that
charging rent is reduction in their
wages and that promise had been
made that no such reduction should be
made during the construction period
of the canal, which was extended to
July, 1916, by congressional action.

WAGES Out of SurnIus.

Warren S. Stone of counsel for the
enginemen in the western railroad
wage arbitration at Chicago expressed
the opinion that If railroad companies
could pay dividends out of surpluses,
as he alleged they did in 1914, they
could draw on the same source for the
advance in wages which the men were
seeking. 1T has been alleged here"
said Mr.. Stone, that railroad earnings
have been steadily decreasing of re-
cent years Forty -four roads showed
a deficit in 1914 and forty-one a sur
plus. Yet 1t is fact that 105, 105
miles, represented by these forty one
