BOSSES ATTORNEY INDICATES "THE WHOOP
WITH WORKERS UNABLE TO STAND PACE"

to sweat and asylums maintained by
the state to take care of the discard
of the bosses was the proposition of
Dudley Taylor, attorney for the As
sociated Employers Association, be-
fore the 8-hour committee in the New
Morrison hotel this morning.
Taylor declared that instead of an
8-hour low, which he defined as So
cialistic and not a 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.
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 8-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

who was also before che O'Hara In
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.
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 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 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.
The employees are also given well
fare work and he could not remem-
Der 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
sbosses 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 8-hour laws.
Taylor wanted sweeping inevstf-
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-(

l0WA'S GREATEST PURE
FOOD SHOW At WATERLOO

The great concerted agitation in
America at the present time for the
production of pure foods will be en-
phasized at the Pure Food Show which
the Waterloo Retail Merchants AS
sociation will conduct in conjunction
with the Dairy Cattle Congress Sept
9th to Oct. 3rd. All of the large ma
tional manufacturers of food will be
represented with attractive booths in
which demonstrations of their prod
ucts will be made. More than 5000
square feet of floor space will be used
exclusively for this exhibit. All booths
will be deliberately decorated and
thousands Of samples given away each
day.
This part of the show is being held
especially for the benefit Of the Ia
dies. Domestic science lectures and
demonstrations will be given by rep
resentatives Of Iowa State College.
These programs will be held in spe-
cially constructed building near the
exhibit hall. Comfortable seats will
be furnished to accommodate all who
attend and this building made the
headquarters for the visiting ladies
and their children.

propriety Of accepting the new worlds
record of minutes, II 3-5 seconds for

made In a special trial and not in a
race In the true sense Of the word
Few followers Of athletics realize the
difficulty Of finding field and condi-
lions that will give runner Of Taber's
type the opportunity to break such a
record even though he has the ability.

Of England established the worlds rec

LARGE SHOWING OF
DAIRY STOCK At WATERL 90

The showing of high quality dairy
cattle will be just as large this year
as ever before. Many requests for
premium lists from the middle west.
ern states indicate that this section
will be more largely represented than
in previous years. The smaller herds
Of Iowa will also compete In the show
ring this fall in larger numbers than
last year.
Undoubtedly when the show opens
there will be larger number of dairy
cattle representing the Mississippi
valley than have ever before been a..
sembled in the show ring. The pre-
MUM list which has just been pub
lished includes cash prizes given BY
the show proper which total $500.
In addition to this liberal Offering tho
cattle clubs and breeders associations
have supplemented cash prizes. cups
and special trophies with q total valu-
alton of moro than $1,000.
In order to make the show high
class in every respect. the manage
ment has been compelled to limit the
premiums offered to the Ave great
breeds Of dairy cattle, VIZ, the Guern-
seys, Jerseys, Holsteins, Ayrshires and
Brown Swiss. The premiums for each
of these breeds have been made very
large. and for this reason, together
with the general good fellowship de-
veloped among the exhibitors of cat
Ito at the congress last year. promises
to make this show q center for all
dairy cattle exhibitors. The show also
comes at time this year which does
similar exhibition, and occurs just
after the principal state fair circuits
have been completed. 1t Immediately
follows the Illinois State Fair at
Springfield and just precedes the Roy
al Stock Show at Kansas City. Spe-
cial trains will carry the cattle on
this circuit thus furnishing the best
accommodations at all times.
Many of the larger herds that will
be shown at the Dairy Cattle Congress
will also compete for prizes at the
Panama-Pacific Exposition. Those
who attend will therefore have an op-
portunity to see the majority Of the
dairy animals which will be on exhibit
ton at the worlds fair.
Those who wish to secure good
young foundation animals to estab.
lish q dairy herd will find the dairy
show an exceptional opportunity this
year. Hundreds of animals will be
available for inspection and trip to

A Bat Of Ancient Lineage.

George Perring, the hard hitting IN
fielder of the Kansas City Feds. uses
a bat that is more than thirty years
old and which came originally from q
prison scaffold that was the scene OF
many hnngings.
Perring's father was baseballer.
When III the heyday Of his career the
scanold in the Ohio state prison was
dismantled the older Perring got a
piece Of ia hickory joist-and had It
carved down into the size Of a baseball
bat.
For twenty years he used that bat.
and 1t produced large dock Of hits.
Seven years ago the father gave the
bat to the son. and the son has been
using 1t ever since.

around the bat for him. He takes 1t
himself in a special case.
