Plans for Remedy.

One purpose OF amendments to the
shipping bill, lost in the final days of
the last congress, was to give tho
board more power in this respect. They
would have permitted the board to re-
fuse foreign registry to ships now be-
ing built in American yards. As
many of these vessels are being con-
structed for British capital. the board,
1t Is pointed out. would have had a
powerful weapon with which TO compel
Great Britain to respect the rights of
American owners.

OF coaling American ships in the Pa

tions because they had to coal at Brit

To ACT WITHOUT

But Mr.. Wilson is Said to De-

SEEMS ALMOST SURE
Indications Are That the Issue
With Austria Will Not Be
Pressed Now.

Washington, March T.
The definite impression that
the American merchantmen
would be armed in the near
future gained ground today
following conferences be-
tween President Wilson and
administration officials and
democratic senators.
At the same time indications were
strong today that the president will
call an extra session OF congress AL
though advised by some administration
officials that he has the authority to
arm merchant vessels the president IL
said to prefer congressional approval
OF such action. Those of his advisers
who Insist that the president need not
await approval by congress argue that
the old law passed in 1919 forbidding
a merchantmen to fire on "a public
armed vessel of a nation in amity with
the United States" would not apply to
the present situation. The president
heard these views with keen interest
and Indicated that he Is seeking some
legal means of acting promptly.

SHORTER SHOPPING DAY

Overlapping of Shifts the Only
Way Out if Store Hours

Butte's business and industrial world
is preparing to adjust itself to a new
condition imposed by enactment of the
eight hour law for women, which ap-
plies to all female help, save domestics.
The new law becomes effective on
April I. The wisdom of an eiaht hour
shopping day is under consideration,
by local business houses employing
women, as result of the law.
The eight hour law for women will
cost the Hennessy store alone a sum
approximating $4,000 per year, ac-
cording to best estimates. Laundries
of Butte will pay about s240 per week
more for labor and will be forced to
make an average cut of 81 week in
overtime from the wages of women
employees, since overtime Is not per-
mftted. Delays incident to operation

Rain, rain, so away.
Billy Bunny wants to play.

This is what Willie Wind sang one
morning Oh. so early, as the rain
drops pitter-pattered on the roof Of the
little rabbits house in the Old Brier
Patch. And then Of course he woke
up and wiggled his little pink nose 9
million times less or more, and pretty
soon he was wide awake, so he got
up and looked into the mirror to see
if his eyes, We're open, as he wasn't
quite sure ne was wide awake after
all. for the raindrops made drowsy
noise on the old shingles and the
alarm clock wouldn't go off, altho 1t
was IA o'clock.

long. his mother called to him, BILLY
Bunny, the stewed lollypops are get
ting cold and the robins eggs will be

'Tll be ready in jiffy," answered
the little rabbit, and then he brushed
his whiskers and parted his hair in the
middle with little chip. and after that
he was ready for breakfast and dinner
and supper, for rabbits are always
hungry, you know, and can eat all the
time, so I've been told, and I guess 1t
must be true, for why should an old
rabbit have told me that II It isn't
