Declares Law Demonstrations.

Declares Law Unconstitutional.
Following the Wisconsin supreme
courts decision on the law limit
ing hours of labor for women. the
Wisconsin industrial commission gave
notice to the so pea Gamers OF Wis
consin that they must operate their
factories without permitting women to
work in excess of the limits laid GOWN
in the law.
Justice Rosenberry's opinion has
made it impossible for the Gamers to
operate on the extended limitation of
women's hours which they have en-
joyed since the Legislature of 1913,
recognizing their peculiar needs, made
provision for them. This provision
according to Justice Rosenberry's
opinion, is unconstitutional and cannot
be continued
The commissions letter says that
women may be employed not to ex-
coed So hours in any one week and
net to exceed ten hours in any one
day. This schedule is limited by the
following: Between the hours of p.
N. and a. N. women may be EN-
ployed not more than eight hours in
any one night and not more than As
hours in any one week"
In succinct terms the commission
gives notice that it will enforce the
law strictly as it is now interpreted
in the Rosenberg opinion.
The commission SAYS:
The industrial commission must en-
force the law as construed by the
court. and canning companies must
expect to operate their plants strictly
within the hour limits indicated above.
THE decision of the court is made
in case where the company not only
violated the statutory limit Of wom-
ems hours, but was guilty of an aggra-
walton of the extended hours allowed
by the commission.
I'VE are advising you Of this situa-
tion in order that you may have am
pie time in which to rearrange acre
age, increase equipment or to make
such other preparations as will enable
you to operate strictly within the pro-
visions of the law.
Appeals to the commission for any
change in the statutory limitations
WILL of course, be futile, for the reason
that the commission is no longer
clothed with such authority"
Besides restricting the operations
of the proprietors. the Rosenberg
opinion does away with the extra pay
formerly earned by woman employees,
VINO, under the former orders, were
paid time and a half for overtime.
Women in the pea canneries are paid
about ten cents per hour on the aver
age. The customary scale runs from
seven to fifteen cents.

Following are the men named and
the regiment they represent:
Leverett Yonder. Whitewater. corp
oral, Company G, First infantry.

WISCONSIN MILITIA

New Army Bill Probably Make
Changes Necessary.
TO ADD TWO NEW REGIMENTS

Many officers-Guess as to What
Territory Will Be Tapped
Armories Are Needed.

Madison.-If the National Guard is
increased to 425.O0O, Wisconsin will
have at least two more regiments.
While nothing has been given out
from the adjutant generals office, it
appears certain that if that increase
is made the Wisconsin Guard viii
be entirely recognized, so that reg
iments can be concentrated in more
Of unit than they now are.
The increase will mean promotion
Tor many officers. Two more regi-
ments means ten new field colonies
and majors. meaning that ten captains
will be promoted.
What territory will be tapped to
provide for the increase is a gamble.
1t is probable that, wherever large
armories exist and there is belief that
another company can be raised, steps
win be taken for an increase.
Oshkosh, with 33,062, now has two
companies, and probably will draw the
supply company in addition. Fond du
Lac, with 1877, has one company and
probably will be given another. The
same may happen with Sheboygan,
with a population of 26.S9S. In the
Third Superior. with population OF
1884, now has an infantry and sup
ply company, but should be able to
take care of another infantry COM
pany Madison has 1881 and has
one company, band staff.
Other places large enough to sup
port companies are: Amigo, 1886;
Baraboo, 1924; Grand Rapids, 6,521 !;
Kenosha, ,21,371; Merrill, 1888; South
Milwaukee, 6,092; Stevens Point, s.
692; WATERFOWL, 1892; Waukesha, s.
TO; West Allis, 6,645; Depere, 4,477.
If all these places were taken in, it
appears that Milwaukee will have to
be called on for complete regiment
of infantry instead of five companies.
Racine and Green Bay are to have
batteries and each place should be
large enough to have an infantry com
pany in addition.
On the other hand part of Wiscon.
sins increase may be some branch OF
the service other than infantry, and
that will make a difference in the To-
cation Of the new organizations. Any
increase in cavalry will probably be
in Milwaukee, where experienced of
fcers can be obtained from Troop A.

Farms Given Names.

According to a. w. Kalbus. statisti-
clan of the Wisconsin department of
agriculture. 1905 farmers of Wiscon-
sin have given their farms names. and
have registered the names with regis
tiers of deeds. The right to a farm
name is established by law passed
by the 1915 legislature. A complete
list of farm names registered to date
will appear in the May crop report,
now being issued by the department
OF agriculture.
Sixty-seven per cent of the blowing
in Wisconsin was done on May l, as
compared with 70 per cent in 1915 and
60 per cent for a ten-year average.
Forty-two per cent of spring planting
was completed, as compared with SO
per cent in 1915 and So per cent for
a nine-year average. Ten per cent of
the 1915 hay crop is still on farms,
and So per cent of the total crop has
been or will be consumed on farms
producing it.

Low Death Rate.


For cities of the United States
under $4,000 population which re-
ported their 1915 mortality Stats
tics, La Crosse, Wis, came through
with the lowest infant mortality rate.
There were "a cities in this list. The
La Crosse rate was 300 deaths per
1000 babies. La Crosse IS one of the
few cities in Wisconsin employing a
full time health officer. In La Crosse
the credit for this unusual showing is
generally fixed upon the health COM
missioner.
The infant mortality rates for four
other Wisconsin cities are also given:
Milwaukee, 94.4; Racine. 1876; Osh-
kosh, GIL; Madison. SOL.
In comparison with these Wisconsin
figures on infant deaths, many cities
in other states snow appalling baby
losses. Montgomery, Ala, had the
highest rate last year, 1851 deaths per
1000 births.
OF PAL large cities throughout the
country reporting to the New York
milk committee, which sent out in
quiries to health officers. the city of
Madison, after Seattle, Wash, had the
lowest general death rate. Seattles

The activity of German buyers is
given by the newspapers as the rea-
son for the sensational rise in steam
ship stocks Stocks that rose from 50
to 100 per cent there on Thursday
were advanced another 20 per cent
on Friday. The days business in
steamship stocks amounted to $4,000
600, majority of which was taken by
German buyers.
The Danish minister of the interior
announced that % Danish steamship
companies capitalized at S22,000,000
gave a surplus of s24.000.000 for the
past year.
The department of Justice has de-
cided that substitutes for coffee with
which are mixed products of goods
placed under an export embargo. are
themselves subject to such embargo.
The Danes are exporting heather to
Germany at fabulous prices. BY far
the most interesting feature of this
traffic is the German marks pocketed
by the Danish farmers. But some of
them are more inquisitive and ask
this question: What is the heather
used for? The following answer is
one of the most interesting. A SOL
der from South Upland. who is in
the trenches at verdun. reported that
the heather is placed along the front
of the most exposed trenches. When
a cloud of poisonous gases comes roll
ing along the ground from the French
side the Germans set FIRE 10 the
heather and the flame and heat ris-
ing along the line heat the gases so
that they are rarified and raised into

year 1915 were $432 900, or 533 per
