The lance bombs, I might explain,
are bombs fastened to instruments
somewhat like harpoons which stick to
the side Of the submarine and explode.

eight-hour day would cost the COM
pany approximately 100000 a year
From the company's standpoint, CIV
ing an employee the same pay for
eight hours work as for nine hours is
equivalent to a wage increase of 12h
per cent.

in the past done favors for it's en-
ployes when it was not so prosperous
The pension system was installed in
1912, when the company earned only
3 per cent. The vacation fund and
the eight-hour day for women en-
ployes were instituted also in years
when the company did not have a
treasury as full as now.
Although the railroad telegraphers
are not included in those who benefit
from the Western Union eight hour
day order, the Order of Railway
Photographers is now engaged in
general eight-hour movement, in
which it has been successful on a
number of railroads. Also it is the
contention of the railroad telegraphers
that they are includessunder the pro-
visions of the Adamson eight-hour
law, recently upheld by the supreme
court of the United States, which gives
the basic eight-hour day to all per-
sons engaged in the operation OF
trains In interstate commerce.

Those Overalls

Considerable comment has been made the
question Of overalls for women, and the interesting
part of it is the women themselves are buying the
overas with the intention of wearing them upon all
occasions where those garments are required. One
woman bought suit because she cuts her own fire
place. wood, another bought suit because she goes
boating and is not afraid to clean string Of fish when
she wears overalls. AS for ordinary rough house
