ALAW WITH A JoKER.-Mr. o.
car Nelson, State Factory Inspector:
l was interested in an article in The
Day Book in which you said there
was no law to stop employers from
working their employees "a hours
day. l wish to ask you to explain
through The Day Book what has be-
come of the law enacted in February
or March, 1878, which reads as fol-
lows, or words to this effect: "That
on and after that date eight hours
shall constitute a days labor in all
mills, mines or other industries, ex-
cept those engaged in agricultural
pursuits. "
If this law is still in effect, try it
on your piano for the benefit Of Mr..
w. H. Thompson and make reply
through The Day Book and oblige a
common union teamster. - c. P.
Phillips, 1918 N. Harding Az.
Nelson's RepIy.-Below is a copy
of the law. You will see by the jok-
ers it contains that it is not worth
the paper it is written on:
E ''1.-EIGHT HOURS A LEGAL
DAYS WORK, EXCEPT, ETC. l.
Be it enacted by the People Of the.
State of Illinois, represented in the
General Assembly: On and after the

setting of the sun, in all mechanical
trades, arts and empIOyments, and
other cases of labor and service by
the day, except farm employments,
shall constitute and be legal days

want you to understand that I
neither have any sociaistic or an
arChistic ideas about me, but must
say that you have somewhat re-
versed your statements, or else you
have not written as you think For
instance, your statement that the
worth of people is measured by what
they are is all wrong, because one
who has nothing is worth nothing.

IMPORTANT DECISION ON
 LAND QUESTION RENDERED

An important decision on land questions, and ono which will have a far reaching effect was handed down this morning by Judge Jen. nings when he entered an order dis. missing the suits of C. F. Sheldon against Gus Messerschmidt and Charles Quackenbush and also the suit of C. F. Sheldon against Mrs. Kate A. Kabler.
 These suits were brought to eject the defendants from water front property in front of the patented homestead of Sheldon. Judge Jen. ings ruled that as Sheldon had not shown that, the structures erected by the defendants shut off his ac- cess and egress from his homesteads he had no standing in court and dismissed them. Under the ruling 1t is held that the holder of a pat euted homestead can not hold the entire waterfront section in front Of his land unless actually needed for use.
