SAYS SWITCHMEN DISLIKE
EIGHT-HOUR LAW.

Flat rejection of the Adamson bill
is being seriously considered by the
railway switchmen in the Chicago
yards. These men have lO-houl
day, but provision OF their contract
regarding the lugeh hour results in
their generally being paid ior II
hours. The railways are discussing
the advisability Of installing three 3
hour shifts. This would talSe, gen
orally speaking, three hours of the
mems day and they seriously object
to such curtailment OF their income.
especially with the cost OF living in-
creasing by leaps and bounds.
switching foremen get 40 cents IN
hour. theoretically they have 10
hour day, but as has been said, in
practice they are usually paid Tor Il
hours work, and make $4.4O i day.
Under the three 8-hour shift system
they will get only $500 day, ana
lne difference makes pretty serious
nole in a mans income, especially ii
ne has a family to support.
Consequently the switehmen, who
all along were willing to submit THEN
demand for increased wages To arbi-
,ratIon, seriously contemplate flat
rejection OF the Adamson bIn on thy
ground that it is inimical, instead OF
uelp1ul, to labor. There is, OF course
some question US to whether, Con
gress having given statutory force
20 the Adamson bill with its social
cd S-hour provision, the switchmeH
IAN REJECT its provisions and procure
4rbitration of their demand for in
creased wages, and that question is
now being Investigated by their lead
crs.
More and more are railway men
coming to wonder if President vii
son did not hand them "A gold brick
IN his uncomfortable desire to gain
Jhe labor vote and promote his polit-
zeal fortunes by butting in to the
controversy between the railways
and their employees, or at least the
10-per cent OF them who are mem
ners of the four brotherhoods.

0RN SMUT NOT INJURIOUS TO
CATTLE

It is n quite common belief that
corn smut is iniurius to cattle, Num-
erous experiments have been made to
ascertain whether or not this is
true. One experimenter started feed
ing two ounces q day Of the smut to
each Of two cows. Later the amount
was increased to II pounds The test
listed forty-nine days, but no seri-
Gus results were evident. The cows
q I'd a normal milk yield at the end of
Tie period.
Other experiments have given
rractically the same results, so that
it may safely be said that corn smut
either in the field or in the prepared
ration is not poisonous to cattle. -

THE INITIATED AND REFERRED
BILLS

The voters of Colorado are called
upon to pass judgment on eight prop
ositions at this falls election. Near
ly everyone of the eight is more or
less complicated in its provisions.
The first is the Medical Bill. 1t
creates a board Of nine physicians to
be known as the State Board Of
liedical Examiners, and the general
health of the state is, in a measure
under the control of these nine physi-
clans. 1t serves the same purpose
as the present state Board of Medi-
al Examiners, with the exception
hat it is intended to include a larg-
number of medical schools within
is provisions. 1t recognizes great
+ number of schools as being caps,
BILE of curing the sick than does the
aw now on the statute books. When
nacted it was supposed to include
ithin its terms every known school,
1ut one branch of the Chiropractic
vas omitted from its provisions and
his branch has had the bill referred.
The members of this branch of the
hiropractic want the present law
mended so as to include all schools
# medicine, and they believe if the
roposed law is defeated the next
legislature can be induced to enact
law that will include all schools of
aedicine. Vote yes.
The second proposition on the of
icial ballot is known as the Civil
jervice Law. 1t provides: Appoint
aents and promotions in the Civil
'ervice of the State, and of all the
ivil Divisions thereof, including
jities of the first and second class,
.hall be made according to merit and
itness to be ascertained, so far as
Practicable, by examinations, which,
o far as practicable, shall be COM
1etitive. When necessary for the
'ood Of the Service appointments to
ositions requiring technical, profes-
ional or scientific knowledge or
training, need not be limited to quail
led electors. Laws shall be enact
d making a continuing appropria-
ion of an adequate sum to make
his section effective and continuous
y operative; and in the absence Of
dequate laws providing therefor, the
expenses of the commission and sal
aries of its employees shall be paid
,ut of the general funds of the State,
IS the expenses and salaries of ex-
cutive officers and employees are
paid.
The enforcement of this section
nd of all laws and rules relating to
Jivil Service shall be vested in three
competent persons not more than
-wo of whom shall be adherents of
he same political party, as Civil
Service Commissioners, appointed
by the Governor, to serve for six
years, four and two years, respec-
lively, from the date of their ap-
pointment, and until their success
ors are appointed and qualified.
Every alternate year, the Governor
shall appoint one person, as the sue
cessor of the Commissioner whose
term shall expire, to serve for the
term of six years from the date of
appointment and until a successor is
appointed and qualified; vacancies
are to be filled for the unexpired
term only. The Commissioners may
each receive such reasonable salaries
as may be fixed by law, in addition
to expenses, while in the discharge
of their duties"
