Eight Hour Law Upheld.
During the campaign last
fall our Republican opponents
were very bitter in their criti-
cisms of the Adamson eight
hour law for railroad men.
Some said Congress had been
"held up" by the railroad
brotherhoods and compelled to
"stand and deliver and others
declared Congress had "bun-
coed" the brotherhoods by CIV
ing them a law which was
CLEARLY unconstitutional"
Last week, the Supreme
Court held the law constitu-
tional and affirmed the power
of Congress to limit the hours
of labor of men engaged in in
terstate commerce and, under
certain conditions, to deter
mine the compensation to be
paid.
So, the claim that Wilson
and the Democrats handed
the brotherhoods a lemon in
order to get their votes was not
we'll founded. We acted in
good faith and passed a just
law in order to avert a national
calamity in the shape of a gen
eral railroad strike. 1t is graf
flying to find the highest court
in the land sustaining us at
every point.
The efforts of the railroads
to evade the provisions of the
Adamson law and deprive
their men of the benefits to
which Congress and the Presi-
dent had said they were emit
tied, came very near preclpi-
tating a strike a few days be-
fore the court rendered its de-
cision. President Wilson, how
ever, acted with his usual
promptness and good sense,
and serious situation WAS
happily adjusted.

Cre,eo Postoffice the County Center.

Commencing with the month of
October, the Postoffice Department
has instituted new system of account
ing and distribution of stamps and
stamped paper, making one post office
in each county what is termed "Cen-
trail Accounting Office" and the other
offices in the county are termed "Dis-
trict Postoffices." The Cresco post
office has been designated as central
accounting office for Howard County.
All reports from every postoffice in this
county must be made to the Cresco
postoffice as the central accounting
Office, and all supplies needed by the
postoffices in the county are secured
from the Cresco Office. This includes
all postage stamps, stamped envelopes,
postal cards and newspaper wrappers.
The move is made in the interests of
economy in auditing and accounting
and in the distribution of supplies, but
will add considerably to the work and
responsibility of those offices desig-
mated to do the central accounting.

patriotic FUND.- Bylaw Upheld.

Last Saturday evening being the time
foss Maple Camp to take the RefeFen-
cum vote on the Patriotic Fund By
Law, goodly number of neighbors
were in attendance. After the formal
opening of the camp, State Lecturer
L. E. Yerrington was introduced and
gave q splendid talk on Woodcraft in
general-giving a brief history of the
Modern Woodmen of America, its
Mr.. J. C. Root, the origin
of the name M. w. A. and many other
details of the society-then
into a patriotic strain Neighbor
Yerrington recited the patriotic spirit
of all Modern Woodmen, the patriotic
move of the last Head Camp and the
adoption of the patriotic" Bylaw.
Yerrington's address was
much enjoyed by all who heard it, and
all hope to have the pleasure of hearing
him again at no distant day. At the
close of the address the referendum
vote of the camp was taken and found
to be unanimous in favor of the new
Bylaw. The patriotic Fund" as
all Modern Woodmen understand, is for
the payment of the claims of deceased
who may lose their lives
while engaged in war.
