THE RAILROADS
DON'T RECOGNIZE
U. S. CONGRESS
(From Committee on Industrial
Relations.)

(From Committee on Industrial
Relations.)
New York City-By the terms of
an act of the supreme lawmaking
body of the United States, approved
by the President of the United States,
the standard working day of all the
freight train operatives of all the
railroads of the United States was
fixed at eight hours-that eight hour
day began January 1. By the terms
of the same act the pay to the same
train operatives, or to others whose
additional employment might be nee
essary by the shorter work day, was
increased in a sum which the rail
road corporations estimate at five
million dollars a month. The sum
makes no difference to the principal
involved.
Congress-the Senate and House of
Representatives enacted that law up
on the initiative of the President and
upon its own volition.
The Railroad Brotherhoods did not
ask it. The 100000 organized rail
road workers did not ask it in any
capacity. No organization of labor
asked it.
In any other country in the world
such law would have taken effect
without question, because, in all 9th
err countries, duly enacted laws do
take effect without question.
But the railroads have "held up"
the law and at least temporarily re-
pealed it because, not liking it, they
have asked a court to disapprove it.
While resorting to the courts to
suspend the operation of the law the
railroad companies claim the right to
keep the money that is owing under
the law to the men who work longer
than the standard day fixed by the
law. They do not admit that. even
granting the suspension of the Ad-
amson Act, the railroad operatives
are better entitled to hold their own
wage-money, pending the courts ac-
ton on the law, than the railroads
are entitled to hold it.

SPECIAL CONVENTION
OF SHINGLEWEAVERS

On next Saturday, the 10th of Jan
uary, there will be a special conven-
ton of the shingleweavers of the state
at the Labor Temple in Seattle, called
to discuss subjects of interest to the
craft. The convention was called for
this date in order that the delegates
from the locals to the State Fedora
ton of Labor, to be held in this CITY
next week, beginning the 22d, might
become thoroughly acquainted with
The views of their international union.
The shingleweavers' strike will be
brought before the State Federation
OF Labor with all matters and Incl
dents connected with it.
1t is expected that the single
"eavers' strike will be an absorbing
oopic of discussion in the Federation
convention. as it has become a matter
Of general interest not only to organ
'zed labor but to all the people of
The Northwest.
OF the many important subjects to
be offered for the consideration of
the convention, this strike will take
It's place among those which will be
given the most careful consideration.

The railroad operatives suspend
their lawful right to strike and their
economic power to Strike because
they were willing to abide by a law
which thev did not ask for. They de
ferred voluntarily to the act of the
duly constituted lawmaking body in
order not to Inconvenience the coun-
try by using their own lawful and
sure means Of getting what the con-
science of the nation" has decreed is
due them.
Whatever may be the results Of the
railroad workers willingness to ac-
cept the act Of the peoples legislative
representatives and of the railroad
companies unwillingness to accept
that act, these vital facts that have
been set out show the different at
titude toward the law and toward
public opinion in which the railroad
workers and the railroad directors
stand.
At the close Of a year in which they
have made more than one billion dol
lars net profits the railroads profess
their willingness to tie up the en-
tire interstate transportation of the
United States rather than pay to the
workers the comparatively insignifi
cant increase in wages which a sta
tute Of the United States has declared
they should have.

Unique Window Displays.

The most unique window displays
seen in LambertvilIe in a long time
we're those of the Helms hardware
house on CoryelI street. A complete
Foolish Four" auto was made up
from four wheels, gas tube tires,
baby bathtub body, fyscreen radi-
ator and windshield, spittoon front
lamps, oil side lamps, sausage grind
er crank, and various other access
cries. 1t looked real enough to run.
The other window contained
millinery display" that initiated
the more expensive kind closer than
would seem possible. Coal scuttles,
pals, pans, baskets and plates were
trimmed with brushes, rope, lamp
burners and other accessories.
No one claimed credit for this in
teresting and original idea, but it
seems that Miss Anna Helms acted as
mechanical engineer and artistic, and
her father, Charles Helms, perform
ed the joint duties of auto builder
and milliner, with great credit to
both members of the family.

both among his own race and the
white, and was highly respected by
all who knew him.

PLEASING CORN
DEMONSTRATION
Winning Stock From Last Year Has
Been Tested on Five Delaware
Township Farm Grounds.
CONSIDER THIRTEEN SAMPLES

Every farmer interested in larger
yields of corn should be out to the
corn demonstration meeting to be
held at William E. Rittenhouse' s
farm near Sergeantsville. Saturday
October 20, at 2.30 p. m.
This meeting is held in co-opera-
ton with the Extension Division of

College and Experiment Station,
represented by A. G. Waller. Pro-
fessor Frank App, head of the Crops
Department, will talk on corn i'm
provement and culture.
The corn work for this demonstra-
ton has been carried out further
than any previous time. That is,
thirteen samples of corn, including
the best yielders at last years dem
onstration, have been given five
trials to demonstrate which is the
best, instead of one trial. These
five trials have been carried out by
the following men: William E. Rit-
tenhouse, j. S. Cray, Percy w.
Bush, Charles Matthews and Harry
Johnson.
The results from each farm will
be given out at the meeting on the
goth. With corn bringing a much

BIG CHANGE IN
RAILROAD Time
Schedules Completely Revised on
the Belvidere Delaware New
Connections to North.
ALL DIFFERENT TOFLEMINGTON

A most pronounced change in pas
senger schedules on the Belvidere
Delaware Railroad goes into effect
today, and the new timetable pro-
poses some innovations. Southbound
the trains will leave at 900, 8.02,
835 aid 1150 a. M, practically as
present, but the 2.30 comes at 3.19,
and the 40 goes off entirely. The
500 milk and express train will
leave at 6.23 pm, and come all the
way through from Stroudsburg. 1t
will not be an alarmingly fast train
but it will be the heaviest southwark
train. The Ia will be changed to
a local and will leave at $40.
Northbound the $40 and 1907
are combined in local at 9.05. The
1.29 is changed to 2.10 and makes
all the stops. The short line" due
here at 4.40 now arrives at 4.35.
The 4.55, 6.52, 8.34 and 1915 mid
night run on the old schedule but
the last goes through to Strouds
burg, arriving there at 800 a. M,
and connecting through to Scranton
and Buffalo. This will doubtless be
the heaviest northbound train.
Every train is changed on the
Pennington branch. Those now ar
irving here at 725 am, 1.20, APP
pm, will arrive at 750 am, 200,
6.15 pm. Those previously leaving
at $50 a. M, 2.40, Sol p. M, will
leave at 9.15 am, $50, 100 pm.
There is no change in the Sunday
schedules excepting the last south
bound train, which will leave at $40
The new schedules, coupled with
the new taxes to go into effect mex
month, will doubtless boost travel
on the Bucks County Railway, which
runs its cars every hour.

SOCIALIST SAYS
MANY AGREE

Clarence H. Rex, the Socialist
candidate for member of Assembly
from Hunterdon county, has made
the following statement in connec-
ton with his candidacy;
At least 90 per cent. of the peo-
pie of the world are Socialists but
few realize it. When we get down
to fundamental facts there are but
few who believe private ownership
to be superior to public ownership.
Institutions which are publicly own
ed today are without question better
than could be expected of the same
institutions were they privately
owned. Would anyone be foolish
enough to say the postoffice would
be better if owned privately? Would
anyone write their present legisla-
tive representative to propose a bill
demanding that our public highways
be taken over by private ownership
so we could pay toll? Would any
one suggest that our fire department
be privately owned so we could pay
for the time consumed in putting
out the fire when our homes were
ablaze? Would anyone prefer pri-
vate ownership of our public schools?
Yes, there are few persons who
would favor such a change, if the
people were not as wise as they are,
and those persons would be those
who would own these institutions
and make a handsome profit from
their operation. Then if these are
concrete facts, why not let as own
all the necessary means of life? No
less an authority than the Encyclo-
pedia Britannica says, Socialism and
Christianity are identical. If this
is true, then why avoid Socialism,
or at least, why oppose it without
first becoming acquainted with its
principles?"
