In symposium on Safeguarding
the Boys and Girls Of Delaware" the
members Of the Labor Commission Of
Delaware, in their second quarterly
session, yesterday afternoon at the Of
fees OF Charles Warner. decided to
employ a physician for the remainder
OF the year at $500 per year to ex-
anime boys and girls as to their phys

outstanding features of two-hour
discussion touched on the question OF
female employees in restaurants. and a
decision that, regardless OF the wish
of employers, all female workers must
be given one full day Of each week.
In this connection Miss Idabelle
Stevenson. the ten-hour law inspector
outlined the work OF her department
and the difficulties encountered.
There was considerable discussion
OF a rule to prevent boys in the gro
Gerry stores from carrying heavy pack
ages, and a discussion OF the en-

of these propositions.

plan seem very attractive. It will be
more just It win settle the accounts
between the government and the
soldiers relatives at once, and the
latter will not have to wait for JUS
tlce.
Ending the pension system would
probably clean up politics and in
troduce speed and efficiency In con.
gress more than any other measure.
Today much OF the time of con.
gress Is taken up with pension mat
ters. Nearly every congressman is
in effect a pension lawyer pushing
private pension bills for his constitu.
/ ents.
The extent Of this nuisance can
be partially grasped from the follow.
ing figures which refer to the private
pension bills introduced by few
members i'm the FIRST n days of the
64th congress.
The total number OF private Len
sion bills introduced in that time Was
4l4f with 1871 bills 10 change mill
tary records Ito facilitate private
{ pension grabs 10 come later The
total OF public bills for the same
period was only 75S.
Every private pension bin is an
attempt 10 get something from tho
government. which would not be al
lowed under the general pension
laws.
Contrast this sickening welter OF
spoils and politics with the scien
tihc and profitable operation of the
war risk bureau under which the
United States has been insuring
American merchantmen for nearly
three years.
If the government can insure the
ships and cargOes of its citizens, IL
can certainly insure its soldiers.

are rather fearful OF the proposed

Of national defense that they viii not

OF course the government will sus-
