CHILDREN Of MEN
ARE CARED FOR
Canada Has Special Funds for
Upkeep of Wives and off,
spring of Soldiers.

WASHINGTON. June 24-How
Canada provides for the wives and
children of her enlisted men is de-
scribed in a report by 5. Herbert
Wolfe of New York. prepared at
the request of secretary of labor and
just published by the Children s
Bureau of the L. 5. Department of
Labor.
In presenting the report Miss
Lathrop, chief of the children's
bureau. says:
I'm the so years since the Civil

this tendency it is 70 ne expected
that a system of compensation for
soldiers and sailors can he develop

make possible for their children the

are the common need OF every

The report points out that in Ca
NADIA two notable elements have
been added TO the government pro-
vision for soldiers and their fam

For example. the wife of a pri-

receive either S15 or 500 from the
assigned paw OF her husband $50

All these problems are handicaps

Despite the most exacting and

SHORTAGE OF CARS IS
MATERIALLY REDUCED

The shortage of freight cars in the
United States was reduced during
the month OF May from 14S.627 to
1O5.127 cars-almost one-third
This marked reduction in one
month, following four months Of
rapid increase, is attributed TO the
prompt response on the part of
both shippers and railroads to the
specific suggestions which have been
made by the railroads war board as
so how 10 secure more effective
uses of existing freight equipment.
Some of those suggestions are:
Load cars 10 percent i'm excess of
marked capacity, reduce percent
age of cars and locomotives under
repairs. improve methods of firing
locomotives, defer scrapping light
locomotive. speed up handling of
cars in terminals by prompt dis
patch trains, load and unload
promptly; and enlist cooperation of
shippers, as war measure, to secure
heavier loading of cars
The progressive Improvement in
the situation is indicated, in that on
March /. reports made by railroads
10 the American Railway association
showed a shortage i'm the entire
country of 1SO.0S2 freight cars. The
shortage grew 10 144,T97 by April
I. and on May 1. when the railroads
war board was just starting 10 oper-
ate the railroads as continental
system with the aim OF producing a
maximum national transportation
efficiency the shortage had reached

HOUR FIXING PRECEDENT.
Supreme Court Once Decided That Con-
gress Has Full Power.

Supreme Court Once Decided That Con-
gress Has Full Power.
The appeal in the case of the eight
hour law for trainmen has been filed
In the United States supreme court, and
that tribunal has been asked to give
the issue an early hearing, says the
New York World.
Already complaints are made that
the courts are to be hurried, as was
said of congress when the experimental
law was enacted. Yet congress did not
approach this question without prepa.
ration, and the supreme court having
once formally passed upon the princi-
pie involved may be said to be even
better equipped for prompt judgment.
Several years ago, when the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad company APP
pealed an hour fixing case, the court
replied (221 U. S., 612):
This question admits Of but one answer
The length of hours of service has direct
relation to the efficiency of the human
agencies upon which protection to life and
property depends. In its power
suitably to PROVIDE for the safety OF en-
ployees and travellers congress was not
limited to the enactment of laws relating
to mechanical appliances but it was also
competent to consider and to endeavor to
reduce the dangers incident to the strain
of excessive hours of duty on the part of
persons embraced within the class defined
by the act.
The law attacked in this instance
was not so radical as that which now
engages public attention, but the power
exercised by congress was the same.
No court is asked to pass upon the wis
dom of the conditional legislation pro-
yiding for an eight hour day. Congress
itself will review and act upon this
phase of the matter later on.
What is expected of the supreme
court is pronouncement upon the con-
stitutionality Of the Adamson law.
Having very recently asserted the alb.
solute power of congress in a similar
/ case. why should hesitation and delay
attend upon wider but only q tenta-
tive application of the same sovereign
! authority?
