EIGHT-HOUR LAW FOR WOMEN Is
URGED IN MESSAGE TO PRESI.
DENT WILSON

New York, December 3-Resolutions
calling for the passage of eight-hour
work day laws for women and indors-
ing a bill now pending in Congress to
establish a women's division of the
Department of Labor were passed by
the Middle Atlantic eight-hour confer
ence here today The conference, which
began last Friday and ended today, was
held under the auspices of the National
Women's Trade Union League of New
York and Philadelphia.
Long working hours for women, the
resolutions said, were injurious to
health.
A telegram was sent to President
Wilson urging him to include in his
legislative program bill for an eight
hour day and maximum 4S-hour week
for women, "the products of whose la
Dor go into interstate commerce"
The resolutions passed by the con
ference called upon all working women
ito organize themselves into trade un-
ions for the purpose of demanding an
eight-hour day through collective ac-
ton as well as through legislation"

first break in the Cabinet is imminent
The report that Attorney General
Gregory intends to quit has been def

his purpose is being withheld to give

John w. Davis, Solicitor General and
recognized as one of the governments
ablest legal official; Secretary of the

California.
1t has been suggested that Lane
might be given the Attorney General

the campaign for Wilson in California
has been suggested as good timber for
Gregorys place.
Reports OF this possible Cabinet

CONTROL OVER CONsTANTINOPLE
PROMISED TO GEAR BY ALLIES

Petrograd, December 3 - At the
opening session OF the Duma yester-
day, according to the semiofflcial news
agency, Premier Trepoff read a proc
lamatlon announcing officially that an
agreement, concluded by Russia.
France and Great Britain in 1915, and
later approved by Italy, establishes in
definite manner the right of Russia to
the straits and Constantinople."
Premier Trepoff's announcement Is
quoted by the news agency as follows.
For more than a thousand years
Russia has been reaching southwark
toward a free outlet on the open sea
This age-long dream, cherished in the
hearts of the Russian people, now rs
ready for realization.
From the beginning of the war,
wishing to spare human lives and suf-
fering, we and our allies did our ut
most to restrain Turkey from mad
III Aui MY
received formal assurances guarantee
ing her, in exchange for neutrality,
the integrity of her territory and in
dependence, and also comforting on her
certain privileges and advantages.
These efforts we're in vain. Turkey
surreptitiously attacked us and thus
sealed her down.
I'VE then concluded an agreement
with our allies which establishes in
the most definite manner the right Of
Russia to the straits and CONSTANT
nople. Russians should know for what
they are shedding blood, and, in &C
cord with our allies, announcement of
this agreement is made today from
this tribute.
Absolute agreement on this point
firmly is established among the allies,
and there is no doubt that after she has
obtained sovereign possession of
free passage into the Mediterranean
Russia will grant freedom of naviga-
ton for the Roumanian flag. which
now floats in battle side by side with
the flag of Russia.
81 thought it was my duty not to con-
oeal from you the difficulties and sacri-
fees which we still have to endure in
order to bring the present war to a
victorious conclusion, but no difficulty
and sacrifice will stop Russia and her
brave allies on the path of reconstruc-
ton and consolidation.
"A bright future will be the heritage
of all nations fighting for a just and
holy cause"

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous In
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube Is intiamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when 1t is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored
to Its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.
