PROF. NEARING ASSAILS
ADAMSON O-HOUR Law

NEW YORK. Nov. 13.-Scott Near
ing, once Of the University OF Penn
sylvania and now dean Of the College
of Arts and Sciences in the University
or Toledo, assailed manner in which
the Adamson law was passed and crit
icised the measure at the opening Of
the Labor Forum at Stuyvesant High
School last evening.
The Forum, which last year was
housed in Washington Irving High
School and caused by its tenancy a
long series OF squabbles with the
schools principal, had its place Of
meeting changed by the Board OF Ed
ucation this year, in the hope that its
1916 II season might be more peace
full.
THE Adamson bill was passed at
the behest OF the President" Professor
Nearing said, "and under cJrcum-
stances that gave it every appearance
of an effort to get votes. The bill it.
self is neither clear nor specific. While
the eight-hour day for railroad en-
ployes would be Of tremendous human
advantage, no legislation rushed
through as the Adamson bill was
rushed through can be regarded IA
vorably by democracy"

MARY P|CKFORD Gets
Close TO DEATH
Actress at Helm in Movie
When Schooner Springs
Leak
is SAVED BY
FILM DIRECTOR

MARBLEHEAD. Mass. Nov. 13-
One big thrill in Mary Pickford's next
film drama VIII be missing when the
pcture Is seen on the screen. II was
the scene in which Mary clung to the
helm of a sinking fishing schooner off
Marblehead Neck, while waves wash
ed over her and battered her back and
forth against the side OF the vessel.
It was some scene, all right. But
the reason movie patrons will never
see 1t is that Mary's camera man and
her director Maurice Tournier, we're
so busy saving themselves and Mary
from drowning that they didn't have
time to film what was going on.
Miss Pickford's latest role is that of
the daughter OF an old Scotch fisher
man. The scenario required that she
run away with the hero on an old fish
ing schooner. Miss Pickford and her
company set out from Marblehead on
Saturday in the Eddie Miner, a vessel
that had seen better days, to film the
scene. The spot selected was In shall
low water.
Everything was running smoothly,
when Mr.. Tournier discovered the
schooner had sprung a leak. A few
moments later the boat lurched and
began to settle. The leak widened and
water poured in.
The schooner began to sink. Mr..
Tournier and the camera man leaped
for the mast as a big wave washed
over them. Miss Pickford was at the
stern. and as the schooner's bow set
tied she clung to the helm Another
lurch and her hold broke. A wave
caught her and rolled her down the
deck OF the vessel Mr.. Tournier
plunged toward her from the mast,
and reached her in time to drag her
to his place OF safety And TO the mast
OF the vessel as she went down clung
star, director, camera man and va
ried assortment OF movie actors. At
last they were rescued in motor boats.

"STICK- -TO-ITIVENESS'' WINS BANK
PRESIDENCY FOR Mr.. ROBINSON

Entering the employ OF the Central
National Bank in 1888 as a runner,
Robert p. Robinson, who has just been
promoted to the presidency OF the in
stitution, attributes his success to
"stick-to-itiveness." He went to the
bank fresh from his studies at the
old Rugby Academy, where he had
been associated with the late ]. Bail
Peirce, c. L. Ward, J. D. Bush, Frank
Turner, Theodore Bates, John Bird
and other men who afterwards became
prominent in this city, and has re-
mained at the institution during the
twenty-eight years that have elapsed,
rising on the ladder Of promotion from
runner to discount clerk, skipping
bookkeeper; discount clerk to assist
ant cashier, skipping paying teller;
assistant cashier to president, skip
ping cashier.
During the more than a quarter
century Of service with the Central
National Bank, Mr.. Robinson was alb
sent from his post two years, but
the directors thought so highly Of him
that they held his position open for
him until his return. That was when

TO Wilson
BY POSTAL clerks

NEW YORK. Nov. ia protest
against working postofIice clerks,
whose day is fixed by law at eight
hours, for ten, eleven and even twelve
hours day was sent yesterday to
President Wilson by Thomas H. Fla
herty, secretary and treasurer of the
National Federation Of Postofice
Clerks.
In his letter to the President Mr..
Flaherty calls attention to the fact
that a law passed by Congress pro-
vides that clerks shall not be required
to work more than eight hours day
within ten hours, and for work in ex-
cess Of this are TO be paid overtime in
proportion to their salaries.
This law contemplated that only
in emergencies should more than
eight hours be required" Mr.. Flaherty
said In his letter. "Yet In many Of
the large postofiices, notably in New
York, Chicago. Boston and Cleveland
the clerks are forced daily and night
ly to work ten, eleven, and even
twelve hours.
zone need not. / am sure, point
out to you the injustice of this. You
very happily expressed yourself on
this subject in a recent speech to a
gathering of New Jersey business
men, saying:
"'We believe In the eight-hour law
because a man does better work with
in eight hours than he does within a
more extended day, and the whole
theory OF Il, a theory which is sus-
tanned now by abundant experience,
is that his efficiency is increased, his
spirit in his work improved, and the
whole moral and physical vigor OF the
man is added to-
Mr.. Flaherty adds that although the
postofnce Department officials have
now an appropriation making possible
/ the appointment of 1900 additional
clerks, only few appointments have
been made, despite the complaints OF
! thousands Of clerks and postmasters.
/ He concludes:
"Your investigation will disclose a
/ condition to which l know you are op-
posed. The postal department Off
cials have placed you in the untena'
/ bic position OF advocating principle
in private employment-the eight
hour day-which is not in effect In
government employment, solely be-
cause OF desire for greater postal
surplus"
