OVERTIME is HARMFUL.

Manchester, England.-The Cotton
Factory Times makes this comment on
the annual report of the chief Inspector
of factories and workshops:
Special attention has, of course, been
devoted to the effect on health of the ex-
tended hours of labor which emergency
orders have rendered permissible. AS
the year advanced the tendency grew to
substitute shifts for the long day fol-
lowed by overtime, which was found to
be uneconomical as well as detrimental
to health For the same reason Sunday
labor has become less prevalent. 1t
would appear, however, that no great
success has yet followed the endeavors
of the inspectors to persuade managers
to substitute eight-hour shifts for spells
of II. 12 or 13 hours. The wasteful
expedient of overtime and night work,
for young girls especially, needs no
further demonstration. Whilst as re-
CARDS adult women it may be the good
cause that gives good heart Tor work,
as one of them is quoted as saying, ma
ture is never cheated.
Overtime in cotton mills is rarity,
because, as it is well known, cotton
workers have resoutely set their faces
against it; but where, to meet special
emergency overtime is permitted to CON
tinue uninterruptedly, the periodical ex-
animation of the operatives is compul-
sorry, and power is given the examining
surgeon to suspend, either wholly or
for period. anyone showing undue
signs of fatigue. 1t is satisfactory to
know that the question of the health
of the tolers is the subject of so much
solictude. Out of the evil of the war
at least some good has come"

STRIKE FAVORED
BY 80 PER CENT
OF RAILROAD MEN
Unions Declare No Halfway Meas
ures Will Satisfy-Lines Allowed
Time To Discuss Situation.

New York.-More than 80 per cent
of the 100000 employees of 225 railroads
of this country voted to strike unless
they are granted an eight-hour day and
time and half for overtime.
This announcement was made Tuesday
at conference between representatives
of the big four" brotherhoods and the
National Conference Committee of the
railroads.
The meeting broke up without the
roads showing their hand to reconvene
Wednesday morning. The adjournment
was taken to allow members of the rail-
road committee to discuss the situation
after the union representatives had de-
clared no halfway measures would sat
isfy them and their followers.
The organizations which voted on the
strike question are: The Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers, the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen, the Order
of Railway Conductors and the Order
of Firemen and Enginemen.
The result of the referendum as an
nounced by the Secretaries follows:
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers Southeastern territory for a
strike 9,S72, or 9S per cent; Western
territory 9,035, or 80 per cent; Eastern
territory 9,459, or 94.6 per cent.
Order of Firemen and Enginemen-
Total vote 1868, or 9S.3 per cent in
favor of strike.
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen-
For a strike 124,S32, against strike
1876.
Order of Railway Conductors-For a
strike s7.5 per cent of total Total vote
34,S46.
One railroad was not included in the
vote of the order of conductors, but it
was said to be small and unimportant
one.
The announcements were made by
the following heads of the organiza-
tons: Warren S. Stone for the Broth
erhood of Locomotive Engineers; w. q.
Lee, for the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen; A. B. Garretson, for the Or
der of Railway Conductors; and w. S.
Carter, for the Order of Firemen and
Enginemen.
Before the result was made known
the question of whether negro tiremen
were to be given recognition by the rail-
road was brought up. Elisha Lee
chairman of the managers said that the
meeting was not authorized to consider
that question. w. G. Lee of the Broth
erhood of Railway Trainmen responded
that any agreement that might be con-
cluded must refer to all employees
Mr.. Garretson and Elisha G.. Lee, fol-
lowing the reading of the vote, said the
managers now must consider the senti-
ment of the rank and file and said they
hoped the railroads would allow some
concessions. Mr.. Garretson made plea
for modification" on the part of the
employers.
"In regard to this, it is matter of
hope rather than of assurance" Mr.. Lee
replied.
w. G.. Lee made conditional offer to
turn over the vote by railroads. About
225 railroads are included in the vote.

WHAT is "GOOD GOVERNMENTS

Indianapois.-The official paper of the
Bricklayers' International union says:
IF good government were possible
through the medium of law, the United
States, individually and collectively,
would have reached the millennium, for
the reason that we have been passing
laws to fit every kind and sort of condi-
ton. Good government does not come
that way. Every reform in history has
come up from the people, not down
through lawmaking power to the people.
The future of this country rests with the
great common people - the everyday
man who never gets into the newspa-
pers but who does his days work and
raises his family and lives his life He
is the man who is the court of last re-
sort. His ideals are growing higher
every year. And as he raises his stand
ard so the standards of the state are
raised, for he is the state"

PLAY OLD DIVIDING GAME.

Jerome, Ariz.-The city council has
ordered that public speeches on the high
ways of this municipality shall cease
forthwith. This action was taken be
cause of petition from committee of
Mexican residents who aver that agita-
ton on "any subject would tend to
cause misunderstanding between Mexi-
cans and Americans.
Trade unionists laugh at this state
ment. They say the United Verde Cop
per company is behind the move, and is
only interested in checking any agita-
ton that will bring American and MeXi-
can workers together.
