TO ABOLISH NIGHT WORK IN
BAKERIES.
BY Marie KantzIer, w. c. N

| BY Marie kantzIer, w. c. N.
The present war, upsetting as it
does, the political conditions of life, is
also affecting the economic side. This
has been the case, for instance, with
the night workers in bakeries. In time.
of peace, night baking was regarded
as necessary evil, although it's dis.
continuance had been repeatedly agi-
tated. Legislation interfered to mod
crate the worst abuses resulting from
night work, especially the employing:
of children for early morning delivery.
When the war broke out in Ger
many, these conditions were suddenly
swept away. The employers and work.
ers in the majority of cases favored
the prohibition of night work.
ut is astonishing to note," says the.

Bakers Associations in the light of the
new experience, have cast aside their
old views, and are determined to re-
tain the prohibition of night work also
after the war;"
In 1901 an agitation began in
Minister for the abolition of all night
work, but its effect was negligible. A
bill has now been drafted to forbid
night work from eight at night, until
five O'Clock in the morning in every
kind of bakery, and further, that on
Sundays and holidays all work cease
from nine o'clock in the morning until
six o'clock at night. From six o'clock
at night until seven, one hour only is
allowed to make preparation for the
GLOWING day. When holiday follows.
a Sunday, the Sunday hour is to be
omitted.
A very small number of Bakers
Associations are opposed to the re-
quirements of this bill. In general the
popular sentiment is in favor of the
change.

CRISIS AND LEADERS.
Seldom has the Irish Hier.

CRISIS AND LEADERS.
Seldom has the Irish Hier-
archy been graced by a man of
greater courage and patriotism
than the Bishop of Limerick, the
Rt. Rev. Thomas O'Dwyer. Many
times the Irish Standard has Civ
EN- space to patriotic utterances
and accounts of deeds of devotion
on the part of Bishop O'Dwyer.
The Bishop has placed his name
on the roll of honor among the
pure patriots who have worn the
garb of the church and whose
names have become immortal
through their interest in Irish lib
erty. At other times, the Irish
people found leaders among their
churchmcn. The list of Irish
martyrs considered by the church
at the present time for canoniza-
ton, men who died in defense of
their faith, gives sufficient proof
that the patriotic clergymen in
Ireland have taken their places in
danger and martyrdom has been
their reward. In the interest of
the peace plea of Pope Benedict
and with the desire to advance
the interests Of the Holy Father,
Bishop O'Dwyer addressed a let
ter to Redmond. The letter was
at first ignored, and when press
ed for an answer, the leader of
the parliamentary party explain
ed that the government was not
in sympathy with any peace
movement. In making this state
ment, he answered for the gov
ernment without any attempt to
express the sentiment either one
way or the other OH the part of
the Irish members, it being taken
for granted that England knew
his answer. The recent comment
of Bishop O'Dwyer on the treat
ment accorded young Irishmen
who desired to sail for America
by the mob at Liverpool has been
heralded around the world.
What could be more fitting
than that this new and dominat-
ing figure should come from Lin
crick. The city of the violated
treaty" has produced a, spokes-
man and a leader. His determi-
nation is unquestioned, his con-
victions are outspoken. He has
made Ireland conscious of the
contempt in which Irish senti-
ment is held. The English mob
in the streets of Liverpool
thought themselves fit to express
the proper sentiment that should
be accorded to Irish young men
because they desire to seek new
home in America. The history
of British intrigue; the suffering
which the church and the priests
have endured under the penal
laws, makes it a glorious spectacle
to see member of the Irish hier-
archy champion the cause of Irish
freedom with the vigor of his
Grace. A particular significance
is attached to the personality of
the fearless, outspoken Bishop of
Limerick whose See city recalls
the memories of the broken
treaty.
