SOME BAD FEATURES OF THE
i A6AMsON LAW

Eight hours as standard work DAY
or for the purpose of recl onins wages
Il not necessarilv wrong There is
nothing immoral or dangerous o.
strange about that The people who
are discussing the Adamson bill are
not considering those elements exceDt
as details. No one is against an eight
hour dav or raise in paw in any line
where it is justified by the profits and
conditions of the business. Those
features OF the Adamson bill are the
least obnoxious of the measure, be-
cause thev OF themselves do not en-
danger either the permanencv OF the
government or the independence Of
labor.
But there are some things about this
bill that are wrong, One Of them is
the mode by which it was passed.
When any body of men. employees or
employers. presume tn command the
congress of the United States tn per.
form for them a certain act within a
certain time limit or they will cause
disturbance OF industrial, bus ness
and peaceful conditions of this coun-
try. that body of men is sticking dag
ger in the heart of .his republic. When
an administration obeys such COM
mand. it is striking as vital blow at
the rermanency of this government as
arc those who make the demand.
When president and congress en-
act legislation at the time limit de-
mands of any body of men, EMPLOYEES
or EMPLOYERS. they are doing away with
the rights and privileges of free gov
ernment. Thew are. seitin5 the very
nrecedent that destroys governments.

a FIRE SCAPE

A ton-acre tract of Bcrmdda grass went up in smoke yesterday an6 famed by the heavy wind that was blowing at the time it gave all ap- pearanccs of a real fire. The tire bell was sounded and from the heavy smoke that rolled up it seemed that the whole normal campus was on fire. Instead though the fire was just back of 1t, and by some hard fighting with wet sacks the flames were kept from igniting any of the houses adjoining the tract on either side.
