JAP LABOR LAW
Prohibits Child Employment in
Any Heavy Work.
Limits All Female TOilerS to
Twelve Hours a Day.

Toxic, Feb. 24.-Social reformers are
expressing satisfaction over the put
ting into operation of new law by
which something like a million Jap
anese factory workers will be bene-
fitted.
The new law applies to some II 900
factories employing ordinarily not
fewer than 1 5 operatives or those en-
gagged in dangerous or injurious work.
The main features of the bill are the
prohibition of child labor in any
heavy work; the prohibition of EN-
plOyment of male workers under 3
years and females of any age for more
than 2 hours in a single day and the
prohibition of the employment of male
operatives under Is and all females
between the hours of 10 p. m. and 4
a. m. except in exceptional cases when
speedy execution of a contract on
hand is required.
Two Holidays a Month.
Furthermore. factory owners are re-
quired to give at least two holidays
a month to male operatives under 5
and to all females, with the under
standing that this number is to be
doubled in case the work is carried on
day and night and the operatives en-
gagged are divided into two groups and
work in turn. 1t is forbidden to en-
ploy boys under Is or women for
such work as cleaning, oiling or re-
pairing of machines in motion or for
any other dangerous work such as the
handling of explosives or poisonous or
any other injurious material and in a
general way where conditions are dan
gerous or hygienically harmful
Another provision is that in case of
injury or death of the operative
through no gross fault of his own the
owner of the factory shall give relief
to the operative or his family. The
regulations also provide a fine for VIC
lation of the law.
$1,000 Girl Workers Under IA.
The latest factory returns show that
about $4,000 boys and $4,000 girls UNI
der IA years of age are employed
throughout the country. Consider
able scope is given to the inspectors
under the new regulations and it may
reasonably be expected that a great
many of the present day evils of the
Japanese factory system will be Grad
/ icated.

Tense at several important points in
Indiana in March, April and May will
see other important engagements with
the anti-liquor crusaders attacking or
defending as the case may be.
Indiana's Invest issue. the saloon
question, bids fair to retain its aScen-
dency for years to come unless the foes
of General Barleycorn sweep in from
the rural districts and in statewide
movement drive his legions from their
hitherto impregnable entertainments
in wet regions of the big cities. In
no other way, say the liquor men, can
such cities as Indianapolis. Fort
Wayne, Evansville and South Berd be
made dry in this generation. Yet 1915
was winning year for the dry forces,
according to figures obtained today
from the headquarters of the Anti
Saloon league.

In the scores of elections held, the
dry forces put out of business 112 sa-
looms. The vets re-established five.
OF Indiana's 80 county seats, 54 are
without saloons. There are 33 coun-
ties without a wet spot in them. There
are $40 dry incorporated towns and 3S
dry cities.
Elections in 1915, according to the
Anti-Saloon league, added territory
with 1000 inhabitants to the dry part
of the state. The desperate character
of the struggle in Indiana is best indi-
Gated by comparison of the total wet
and dry vote for 1915. In twenty-four
cities the total vote was: Dry 22,021;
wet 20,64S. Muncie may be the next
battle-ground. Muncie went dry in
1914 by 462 majority and its Tiger
troubles have been displayed to the
state ever since that time. Green's

day before election to obtain addition
al campaign funds. They say that the
graft they charge went toward the
payment of this note but that it was
maintained long after the note was
paid, in fact, that enough was COL
lected to pay it two or three times
over.
Mayor Thompson admits that such
a note was discounted by the Harris
Trust company but asserts that the
money obtained was used for legiti-
mate campaign purposes and that it
was paid when due from his personal
resources.

HELD FUNERAL TODAY
Remains of Mrs. Emma Swadener
Were Laid at Rest in Moscow
Cemetery

The remains of Mrs. Emma Swad-
ener, the widow of the late Charles
Swadener. arrived in Moscow today
from Spokane accompanied by rel
atives and this afternoon at the Grice
chapel the funeral services were held,
many sorrowing friends being present
to pay their last respects.
The services were conducted by the
Rev Hare of the Presbyterian church,
of which the deceased had long been
a member The services were simple,
yet beautiful and quartet composed
of Messrs. Morley Eldridge, Axtell,
and Reeves sung sacred hymns.
The pail bearers were chosen from
among pioneer friends of the deceas-
ed and were R. Hodgins, VIM. Hunt
er, D. w. Hannah, and DR.. W. A.
Adair. The floral offerings were pro
fuse and were most beautiful. Many
friends followed the remains 10 their
last resting place.

more of the grain than if it dissolved
more quickly and was tasted sooner.
The starch paste is the vehicle to
carry the insoluble poison, and syrup
is added to make the bait more palata-
BILE, to strengthen the paste, and to
give an attractive odor. Glycerine
keeps the paste from drying out and
rubbing off.
Saccharine is five hundred times
sweeter than sugar, and is used to
cover the bitter taste of the dissolving
poison and has the virtue of not fer
menting and souring the grain.
Samples of the grain that was pre-
pared in the demonstration were CIV
en- to farmers present, and they were
advised to watch the effect it would
have when tried out. Squirrels Will
eat from three to ten minutes before
they are seized with the first convul-
sion. They can be caught then and
later developments can be watched.
Following the first convulsion, they
are normal for a few minutes and are
then likely to run into their holes
and die there. Some survive sec
ond convulsion but none survive the
third. 1t is probable that more than
eighty per cent will die in thelr
holes.
If used as directed, and not thrown
down in little heaps, the poisoned
grain is not at all likely to be dan
gerous to stock, but chickens may
gather enough to kill them. The pre-
pared grain will keep indefinitely IN
dry place, and will stand "a to 4S
hours of rain before becoming inef-
fective.

Minnesota's fiji st pr, sidential prefer
nee primary went through today only
after a fight in the supreme court.
Under the law, delegates to national
conventions must pledge their support
to some officially recorded aspirant
for the presidential nomination. Many
prominently mentioned as presidential
timber refused to permit their names
to be filed on the Minnesota ballot.
This eliminated any delegates who
wanted to go to the national conven-
tions for them. 1t was upon thispoint
in the law that the two supreme court
attacks were made.
