Is the Adamson eight-hour law to be
enforced or will 1t be nullified by the
Supreme Court as unconstitutional? The
answer to this question in its effect upor
the great transportation systems, with the
railway brotherhoods threatening q strike
IL the law is not put into effect on the
first day Of the new year, Is Of vital IN
terest, not only to the business conrmu-
nifty, but to every individual in the coun-
try. The Joint Congressional Committee
may proceed with Its investigation OF
general conditions. 1t IL said that the
President in his message viii discuss
the railway problem at length. But the
immediate need Is q conclusive decision
as to whether the eight-hour law Is to
Gtand or fall. and the energies of all
parties in interest should be devoted to
sitting the question before the Supreme
Court at the earliest possible moment

A Question for Congress.

To walk up and down six flights OF
stairs eight times day and travel
fifteen miles within building in the
course of seven hours on salary of
500 per month is what Uncle Sam re-
quires of some Of his employees.
To support a wife and eleven chill
dren on a salary of SIS per month
and receive no increase in salary in
eleven years is what Uncle Sam re-
quires of some other of his employees.
To work thirteen years as an cleo
trician and engineer while rated and
paid $50 month as a fireman and
giving gratis hundreds of hours over
time is what Uncle Sam requires of
another of his employees.
These are but a few cases in which
employees of the United States whose
faithful service and increased value
through experience has not been
recognized in monetary way by the
government.
A member of Congress once ex-
planned his lack of interest in the well
fare of the Federal employe in these
words: Anybody who has influence
can get his salary raised by the gov
ernment and those who haven't it are
not worth bothering about"
This statement is known to express
the views of only one man but the
fact that Congress, while passing bills
appropriating billions of dollars for
the progress Of the nation, has failed
to improve the condition of the many
poorly paid employees in Uncle Sans
service would seem to indicate that
such a view is shared by many.
Little opportunity is given the aver
age employe in the service of the
government to make acquaintances or
friendships that spell influence. The
government cmploye works faithfully
and we'll and has the right to expect
that the reward will be promotion in
grade and in salary. He knows that
outside corporations encourage del
ity to service. faithfulness and ability
in small things by promotion to great
er things and naturally expects the
government to do likewise.
Is Congress to discourage faithful
service and encourage the seeking Of
political pull" by refusing to increase
the salaries of government employees
when new economic conditions have
made the present rate of compensa-
ton far below the demands Of the
higher cost Of living.

1t may be interesting to those who
are watching the Chicago experiment
OF feeding persons on 40 cents day
to know that in the District there
are a number of persons who have
been forced to exist on even less than
that daily expenditure for food. They
are numbered among District en-
pIoyes with families whose salaries
are $I.5o and SI.7s a day. Perhaps
there corld be no stronger argument
for the increased pay they are seek

managed 10 live on such a wage.

There are certain changes In the sys-
tenn Of Federal regulation which seem in
dispensable. In the first place, there
should be an enlarged Interstate Com
merce Commission. All round regulation
is beyond the physical capacity Of the
present commission Its membership
should be increased. and its point of view
should be broadened. Possibly It should
operate hereafter through regional boards
of first instance. State regulation Of
roads engaged in interstate traffic should
be abolished or reduced to the minimum.
Divided jurisdiction Is mischievous in that
1t makes for obstruction and ineficiency.-

The meager reports OF the citizen SOL
dier vote have reassured some Of us who
feared that the militia on the border was
being militarized. The soldiers in Texas
seem to have voted about as the folks
at home did, and some OF them must
have been converted to wisconsin after
they went away. Whether this was ac-
complished by letters from home or by
long meditation on the Wilson handling
of the Mexican problem, as seen from the
border, cannot be definitely stated. It Is

The subject Of compulsory mediation is
one that must be fully and fairly dis
cussed IN this country. We were brought
to the brink Of great railway strike a
few months ago and that was averted by
the passage of a law which seeks to
force upon the railroads certain burdens
which they are very unwilling to bear.
The railway trainmen accepted a law Of
that character in their favor and are pro-
ceeding to act under it, The federation's
attempt to close all arguments and start

for general discussion is not wise and
not fair.-St. Louis ~cnublic

NEEDS FARM AND
NEW WORKHOUSE
County Would Move Them Far
ther Out, Where Land Could
Be Had to Raise Crops.
LET INMATES DO THE WORK

The county commissioners are
heartily in favor of legislation to re-
lieve crowded conditions and made
quate facilities at the county hospital
and also for the purchasing of large
tract of land and the construction of a
poor farm and workhouse.
The sentiment of the county fathers
was expressed when DR.. w. O.
Bridges, M. A. Hall and A. c. Arend,
representing the city health and hos
pitfalls committee of the Commercial
club, appeared before the commission
ers to ascertain what their attitude
was in regard to any measures to be
taken for such legislation.
Frank C. Best, one Of the commits
sioners, believes that the county hos
pital should be separate institution
at which medical cases only would be
cared for. 1t is his idea that the
por far mand workhouse could be
located on a large tract of land in
another part of the county, in separ-
ate buildings.
The place could be farmed, accord
ing to Mr.. Best, and the inmates of
the workhouse made to do the work.
Farm products for the use of county
charges could be raised and in this
way the institutions would be partial
ly self-supporting.

GIRL LEAVES HOME
AND MEETS TROUBLE
Opal Jacobs Tells Mother She
is Going to a Dance
Comes Here.
MAN CALLS HER A THIEF

Two weeks ago Opal Jacobs, aged
l6 years, told her mother, Mrs. H. L.
Jacobs, 1923 Birch avenue, Des
Moines, that she was going to a
dance. She disappeared that night
and every effort by the Des Moines
authorities to trace her were in vain,
Police Officers Burchard and Goss
of the Omaha department arrested
Opal Gillian and Rose Johnson Mon
day night in a resort near Ninth and
Davenport streets on complaint Of
Albert Lehnse and Fred Vallery of
Plattsmouth. Albert insisted that
Opal had robbed him of sl3 and the
money was found on her person.
Fred lost watch, which he said
Rose got.
Answers Description.
Just week ago Emergency Officer
Paddy Rim received a letter from
Mrs. Jacobs of Des Moines, begging
that every effort be made to see if
her girl were in Omaha.
When Opal Gillian was brought in,
two and two were put together by
the police, and she confessed that
she was the missing Jacobs girl.
1--WE just wanted to see life and
have some fun" she volunteered
Tuesday mornino. Rose, who halls
from Des Moines and is older than
Opal, has nothing to say. The po-
lice are confident that the girls were
brought here by men, but this is
denied by the prisoners. Neverthe-
less search along this line is being
conducted. ...a....
When Opal learned that her mother
had been almost distracted by her
disappearance, she broke down. "I'll
never leave her again." she wept.
II didn't realize what / was doing"
Juvenile officers are hsndling the
case and expect to return the adven-
turous young miss at once to Des
Moines. Rose says she will go back
also.

Milk and Ice Fund Raised by The
Bee Helps Many Riddles to Health
Superintendent of the Visiting
Nurse Association Warmly
Commends the Work
Done.
IT ALL GOES TO THE NEEDY

Here is list OF the milkmen and
ice companies to whom The Bees
fund for free milk and ice was paid
out last summer. You remember The
Bee raised this fund among the good
people OF Omaha and other places
and used it to supply fresh, pure milk
and ice to keep it cool in the hot
weather, for the babies and small chill
dren of the poor.
Every penny of the fund went for
milk or ice. Not cent was spent for
administering the fund, this being
done chiefly by the Visiting Nurses
Of Omaha. This fact also guaran-
tees that the money was all spent on
really deserving and actually needy
families. Bessie B. Randall, superin-
tendent OF the Visiting Nurses asso-
citation, has written letter of thanks
for the fund, as follows:
Omaha, Neb., Nov. 1s---To the Editor Of
The Bee: wish at this time TO thank you
for the splendid spirit and generosity which
you have shown. Words are truly made
quate TO express all that the milk and ice
meant to our Riddles. It 10 satisfying to
