to sweat and asylunlS maintained by
the state to take care of the discard
of the bosses was the proposition of
Dudley Taylor, attorney for. the As
ISOLATED Employers Association, be-
fore the 8-hour committee in the New
Morrison hotel yesterday
Taylor declared that instead of an
S-hour low, which he defined as So
cialistic and not health measure,
physicians should visit the different
factories, examine the workers and
weed out those who were not able to
work the number of hours the bosses
desired. go.
Rep. Madsen asked Taylor if he
understood that this proposed legis-
lation was to prevent the workers
from being broken down and Taylor
replied that the employers were ex-
pected to shoulder too much of the
responsibility. He believed the state
should take care of those unfit by this
means to work long hours in fac
tories.
Taylor believed that employers, if
just left alone and not hampered by
legislation compelling them to lower
hours, would of themselves do this.
He said most industries have GER
tain busy seasons when it is impera-
tive that they be allowed to work
their employees overtime and when it
is to the benefit of the employees to
be worked overtime in order that they
may make money to last them during
idle priods, and then he declared that |
employers kept employees on their |
payrolls during these idle periods at |
a loss to themselves.
Both the S-hour bill and the |
amendment to it which was not in
troduced in Springfield on account of |
the motion of Leech that sub-com-
mittee should be appointed to con-
duct investigations through the state |
are being considered at the present |

BOSSES ATTORNEY INDICATES 1.-THE WHOOP

turing Confectioners, State of Illinois,
who was also before che O'Hara i'm
vestigation committee on low wages,
told Of the hardship the proposed leg
islation would work on the girls en-
ployed in the candy industries on a
piecework basis. ln
He stated that in the rush seasons
when they work long hours, these
girls, who must be experts, make at
the very best $40 or $11 a week and
most of them average 81 and So and
their wages would be cut If their
hours were shortened, as at present
they were speeded to the very last
degree and could not b speeded any
more. ~
He spoke of the sanitary conditions
existing in some of the factories and
said somefactories, were better in
sanitary conditions than the homes
of the women who make 81 and So in
busy seasons. .,,A "
THE employees are also given well
fare work. and he could not remem-
der a single instance where the health
of any girl or woman was hurt by the
hours she worked.
He appealed to the committee not
to strike at PROSTATE business and
echoed Taylor's cry that already the
bosses were overburdened because of
social legislation, but had no answer
to the reminder of Rep. Hicks that
the competitors Of the Illinois candy
manufacturers are in states where
there are S-hour laws. ~
Taylor wanted sweeping ineEsti-
cation before this new hardship is
put on the bosses, but when asked by
Rose Schneiderman of the Woman's
Trade Union league if he would favor
an industrial investigation commit
tee he hedged and declared things
would adjust themselves by educa-
ton.

The hardest lesson for some of us to
learn is tolerance for the opinions of
others. We should learn to grant
the other fellow the rights we claim
for ourselves. Why should we hate
those who do not agree with us?
Why should we wish to deny others
the right to be heard? 1t isn't
hardly worth while to tear our shirts
because somebody happens to believe
that what we believe is wrong, and
that what the other fellow believes is
right. We should all be seekers
after truth, and truth comes of in
vestigation and discussion. Let us
think things over and act like civil
lied beings.

Good friends may help you at the
start, and head you for success ard
fame, but on your own undaunted
heart you must depend to win the
game. | often think that helping
hands are prone to injure more than
aid; when they're withdrawn, the
helped one stands all undecided and
afraid. He's learned on others tc
rely, his courage leaks away, oft
soons; and he who started out for pie,
is satisfied to gather prunes. Not all
unlucky is the youth who says, 81
have no friends to help; I'll have to
hoe my row, in sooth, with none tc
aid me when | yelp. My comforters
like those of Job, will jar me more
than they will bless; so l must show
this cheap old globe what sort OF
mettle possess. So he at once
gets down to tacks, and Yields what
ever tool is his, the pen, the bucksav

learned to make his way, without tn.
help of any man, he gains success

Deputy Sheriff Jewell, who is also
probation officer of the county, left
Tuesday morning for the Cavendish
country to investigate some nine cases
of delinquency among children of
school age The law holds parents or
guardians responsible for the school
ing of children, and failure to obey
the law is serious matter. The law
is one of the most sacred ever written
on the statute books of the state, for
the education of the children is of
paramount Importance. To rob a
child of his education is not a matter
to be lightly dealt with, and the Off
GERS propose to enforce it. Teachers
are under obligation to report every
case in their districts.
1t is reported that in one district
in Clearwater county two of the
directors are violating the law, their
children not attending school. The
cases are to be Investigated.

Getting Results,

County Attorney Smith returned to
the county seat from Elk River the
first of the week. He was tired out
with the strenuous work of ten days
cleaning up his home town. but the
job he has started is enough to make
any good man sweat. From what we
have heard from Elk River the county
attorney is not the only one who is
sweating. The law gives the county
attorney authority to summon wit
nesses and question them under
oath, and County Attorney Smith did
this during his recent visit to the
lumber town on the head waters of
Elk Creek. A large number of wit
nessses were examined and some i'm
portant information is now in possess
sion of the authorities. Ninety days
in the county Jail for refusal to an
swer questions under oath, and per-
jury and the penitentiary if witness
lies. More than one witness sweat
real blood during the ordeal. But
they coughed up the information.
And we were told there was no law
and that the county attorney was
handicapped, and couldn't do thing,
and besides there wasn't any bootleg
ging in Elk River anyhow.

A New Discovery.

Two physicians of New Orleans
think they have discovered the cause
and the remedy for the disease that
leads to the destruction of one half of
the permanent teeth of the human
family. They say it is pharasite
that can be seen with the microscope
and they say drop of the fluid ex-
tract of ipecac on the wet tooth once
a day will prevent the disease and in
early stages will cure. In chronic
cases they advise consulting the den-
fist. If this harmless medicine will
do SO much untold blessing will re-
suit. 1t is at least worth trying, for
it will not harm the person using it.
