LABOR
Hours Of Labor of Certain Employees
Relating to Contract Work

Two measures were scheduled for
hearing Wednesday afternoon before
the committee on labor an act relative
to the hours of labor of certain en-
ployes in and about the stations of
railroad corporations, and an act re-
pealing the present provision relative
to contract work, requiring notice of
intention to quit work or discharge of
employees.
The first bill, which limits the hours
of labor of certain railroad station en-
ployes to nine in "A was introduced by
Representative Descoteaux of Bidde-
ford at the last session of the LeglS-
lature and came over to this session
There were a dozen or more people
headed by Charles Green of Searsport
ready to be heard upon the measure
but when it was understood that Mr..
Descoteaux did not intend to make a
contest over the measure at this time
they withdrew their appearance.
The labor committee will report upon
this measure Thursday, declaring that
no further legislation is deemed neces-
sary at this time.
Hon. Scott Wilson of Portland APP
peared in relation to the act requiring
notice of intention to quit work or dis
charge of employees and asked for con-
ttnuance to one week which was grant,
ed.
The labor committed will hold an
executive session next Tuesday after
noon at 4 o'clock at which time the
bill relative to hours of labor of cleo
trio road employees will be considered
1t is probable that the bill will be re-
ported in a new draft.

WAYS AND GRIDGES
The Mil Tax and the Bond Issue Plans
Are Discussed Pro and Con

1t took more than four hours Welre :
day afternoon for the proponents an !
the opponents of the mill tax fund and
the BOND issue to discuss the measure
Detore the committee on WAYS ami
bridges. For the proponents Prof Ge,.
T. Files, representing the Maine Auto
mobile Association, conducted the hear
ing; while Representative Fulton j. Red
man. father of the bond issue bill, con-
Quoted the case for the opponents.
Just prior to the hearing Lyman II.
Nelson, former chairman of the highway
commission, spoke briefly on an act to
amend the statutes relative to funds for
state highways. There was no opposition
and Mr.. Nelson said that this act will
release from the treasury the idle hal
ance of $4,000 for the construction or
highways.
Prof. Files in his opening argument
cameo attention to the fact that we had
oeeh oeahng for number of years with
apparent illusions in regard to what
money will do or should do in the con-
struction OF good roads in our state. He
said our first illusion came at the time
when we put out our s. 100000 bond issue
to be capitalized by the income of our
automobile tax revenue.
He said the issue was no Illusion for
the people understood that this was TO
be financed by the income of a revenue
which was properly and justly intended
to be used for such a purpose but tho
illusion came when they were told +b,t
the 100000 would go far to CONFLICT,
the trunk line system in the State.
Ihere is another and even greater il
fusion. which Is being held before tn.
eyes OF the people of the State of Maine
at the present moment; and that is. tina,

ing the issuing OF $6CO0,OOO. reissuinp tho

state revenue may be available ar tba

s'ruction we may solve all the highway
problems OF our State for Is or 50 years

that anyone should make such an asser-
ton seriously, but quote ~
line from an article recently NIB
lished which will bear out tbis
statement perfectly: And when the bora.
for the proposed 100000 are al

Colby's opinion, that he requested that
it be laid over until Mr. Granville ana
Senator Clark might appear in con-
nection with its provisions ana pur-
poses and it was so done.
Prof. Briscoe stated that last year
when the pine tree blister rust afnicuon
struck Maine he went to the Governor
and Council could not get a buiietin on
the matter published-"No FUNDS. he
finally secured it's publication and dlstri-
button through Dean Merrill OF the UNI
versity of Maine. We also need a ouiie-
tin on Planting"
Senator Hastings asked about the 10
why. Prof. Briscoe said 1t was near
Stacyville, on account OF the central 10
cation and the free use of the fine TIM
berland there.
Hastings-"Why l ask is that we of the
western part of the State nave felt that
we have not been getting our snare Oh

Forest Commissioner Frank Z. mace

Wednesday appointed to succeed Mr.
Mace, both endorsed all the statements
of Prof Briscoe, the latter stating that
he had found the big lumbermen import
ing their forestry experts. We have the
young men, why not train our own?
Prof Briscoe strongly opposed the re-
moval of the State forestry work from
the forestry department and annexing It
to the University of Maine, saying that
it was State institution, had grown up
as such and belonged by itself. not as
an adjunct to any other institution or de-
