LAW HAS PROVED BENEFICIAL

Inquiries IA the leading centers OF

the output Ia shipynrds and engineer

the northeast coast some OF the yards
have been able 10 arrange additional

that there are IN the aggregate "A large

parison win be all TO the advantage OF
the present year.
Additional evidence Of the benefit OF

and there Is n general feeling in rail-

should come into permanent operation,
as II would enabe the work of railway
goods yards TO be conducted with
greater rapldity and safety.
A point which seems TO appeal to the
men who are Oh an eight-hour shift Is
that whatever the turn Of duty to
