There are suggestions here that are
absolutely revolutionary. At this crisis.

as the president suggested and let 9TH

Senator Underwood said the legisla-
ton was not to insure an eight-hour
day for the railroad employees, but to
give them rs per cent wage increase,
which the labor men say is right and
the railroads say is destructive.

Senator Pittman objected to the
statement that President Wilson favor

Senator Underwood insisted that the
bills laid before the interstate COM

an assistant attorney general and q

Passage by Senate
Will End Possibility
of Nation Wide Strike /
at the Present Time

The railroads throughout the country abandoned
preparations for today, reverting to those for
peace.
A of railroads revoked the embargoes on
shipments placed as measures.
Meanwhile the senate debated the AdamSOn
eighthour bill passed by the house. with the prospect
OF vote upon it before night. The leaders are con-
fdent of its passage, thus meeting the demands of
the railroad men, who promise then to revoke the
strike order effective Monday.
"Just as soon as the house BILL unamended, be-
comes law, the strike order will be recalled" said
This was the first official statement showing
the house bill is wholly satisfactory to the brother
hoods There were persistent reports that an ar
rangement might be perfected whereby the strike
would be called off officially before Wilson actually
afiXes his signature to the bill.

Value of Iaerrote labor.

Engineering Record: Filipino wonn-
en-. as well as men, worked on the
building of a railroad in the Philip
pines from the coast to the summer
capital at Baguto.
The labor in the upper division was,
in most cases, supplied by the gov
ernment. Igorrotes from the northern
province were ordered to report at
Baguio for work in stages OF three
months. They were willing workers,
but though quick to learn were not
accustomed to disciplined labor. The
wages were IL Ia to 20 cents a day
for boys, rs cents for men and so cents
for little bosses" The laborers were
furnished rations, which consisted of
a. can of salmon to four men and about
a quart of rice per man each day.
Sometimes 'Igorrote turkeys" (dogsI

cook and rations, averaged aDput ,Sa
cents per man. These wages wSfa
considered extravagantly high for the
orient. The old maxim, however. that
labor is worth only what IL coafSs
proved true. The men were unaccns-s
toned to pick and shovel work. &c

Eou Statistics.

The Lighthouse Service Bulletin
publishes a compilation Of the number
of hours Of fog or thick weather OBJ
served a year at 508 fog signal sta
tions during the period Of 1885 to
1915. AS such stations are maintained
in all coastal regions Of the country
including the Great Lakes, which are
subject to fog, their records are q
valuable indication of the extent Of
this danger to navigation. The high.
est annual average La 1891 hours q
year at Petit Manan, Me-, while the
highest record for an individual year
and place is 2,734 hours in 1907 at
Seguin, Me-, or about 80 per cent OF
the entire year. Calumet Harbor,
near Chicago, had 2,269 hours Of fog
in 1913. This and other lake stations
are affected somewhat by smoke. On
the Pacific coast the highest annual
average is 1887 hours, at Point Reyes,
but in the year 1915 there we're 2,14s
hours Of fog at San Francisco light.

To Hold Electrical Exhibits,

hundreds Of firms engaged in the man

in practically every city Of the coun

trace the growth of electrical develop
ment and show its rapid progress In
recent years. A meeting was held
recently in New York to form the first
plans. The actual work Of planning
the show will be left to the Society
for Electrical Development. Gerard
Swope, vice president OF the West

chairman Of the managing committee
on which will be Guy e. Tripp of the
Westinghouse company and many 9th

WOMEN ON THE RACE COURSE
In Years Gone BY Many Have Shown
Skill In Plotting Their Horses
to Victory.

The lady who recently shocked the
national hunt committee of England
by applying for a Jockeys license can
quote precedents in support of her
application. In recent years several
races have been gained in America
by female Jockeys. One Of these,
Miss Mary Mooney, crossed the At
lantic in 1908 and vainly tried to get
a license from the French Jockey
club.
Then there is the case Of Mrs.
Thornton, who, in the early years OF
the nineteenth century, used to ride
her husbands racehorses. She made
her debut as jockey by riding a
match at York for $4,000 over a four
mile course.
On this occasion she lost, but sub
sequent ventures proved more sue
cessful, her turf career being closed
by q match over I'VE miles, which
she won by half q neck. Mrs. Thorn
tons racing costume was somewhat
startling-purple cap and tunic, long
nankeen skirts, purple shoes and en-
broidered stockings.

TO RELIEVE CITY CONGESTION
Massachusetts Legislature Considers
Measures Encouraging "Back-tO-
the-Land" Movement.

Two unusual measures have been
under consideration by the legislature
Of Massachusetts. One provides for
an appropriation for homesteads or
small houses with plots of ground for
mechanics, laborers and other persons
in the suburbs of cities and towns. The
other bill authorizes any city to ac-
quire land for the purpose of teaching
agriculture to its inhabitants, includ-
ing schoolchildren, adults and family
groups.
The bills are really complementary.
Their purpose Is to encourage the
"back-to-theland" movement and to re-
lieve congested districts. They are
sponsored by the Massachusetts home
stead commission, which believes that
there is q strong disposition among
persons in congested city districts to
escape from these to pleasanter and
more healthful surroundings. The
commission, in fact, made a canvass of
500 typical tenement families. 1t dis.
covered that no fewer than 16S fami.
lies, with 500 children, were anxious
to move to suburban surroundings
where they could have q garden and
till the soil. The chief difficulties in
their way, of course, are lack Of capt.
tai and lack Of knowledge Of garden.
ing or farming. These lacks the two
bills in the legislature would seek to
supply.
In support of the measures 1t is re-
marked that success has attained SINH
lar efforts in some European coun'
tres, in Australian states and some
South American countries.
