NEW LAWS

Two very important laws were
passed at the recent session of the
legislature. One, known as the Mills
bill, makes it unlawful to employ any
female at task disproportionate ii
her strength, or that may be injur-
ious to her health, her morals or that
will impair her potential capacity for
motherhood. The law also provides
that for equal service in any calling
women shall be given equal wages
with men.
The other law to which we have re-
ferred is that defining sabotage and
providing a penalty for it. The COM
mission of criminal acts, such as the
destruction of machinery, by appar-
emily accidental means, or the COM
mission of acts of violence, as a
means of attaining political or indus
trial ends, or the melting either by
speech or publication of others to the
commission of such acts, or the cir
culation of literature calculated to
bring about such acts are defined as
sabotage. 1t will be remembered
that few years ago a number of
men went through the country blow
ing up bridges and buildings and de-
stroying machinery, the whole cam
paign of terrorism eliminating in the
destruction of the Office Of The Los
Angeles Times. That was a fair
sample of what sabotage means. The
term is said to have originated in
France on an occasion when a work
man becoming incensed at his en-
ployers, removed his sabot, or wooden
shoe and threw it into some intricate
machinery. 1t is viperish practice,
leading to anarchy and wholesale
misery, and the Michigan legislature
is to be complimented on the fact that
they have made it a felony punish
able by maximum term Of ten years
in prison with an added fine up to
$4,000. In this country the work
ers do not need sabotage or violence
to achieve justice. They have the
political machinery at their command
secure the incorporation into the
law Of every principle which is
grounded in common justice and COM
mon sense.

METHODIST CENTENARY

When the M. f. Church proposed
to raise $105, 100000 throughout the
country, it seemed an impossible task.
But it is rapidly being raised, as
church after church is raising their
quota. Clio and West Vienna
churches have their quota of $7,555,
payable in five years, already pledged,
The drive was to have begun Sunday
last, but by voluntary subscriptions
it was nearly finished then and easily
finished Monday.
Twenty per cent is to be used in
children's homes and in other mission
work in war devastated countries.
The rest is to be divided between
Home and Foreign Missions.
1t is big, world program, but it
bids fair to be done.

LAWS FOR BEE KEEPERS

AS a result of the announcement
of State Inspectors of Apiaries, B.
F. Kindig, of M. A. c., that the state
law requiring all bee keepers to house
their bees in properly constructed
hives will be enforced to the letter
after July /, bee men are busy with
preparations to make the necessary
changes. Box hives, log gums, kegs,
barrels, boxes, and crossed comb
frame hives are among those which
are condemned as illegal. Inspector
kindig gives June as the best month
in which to make the transfer to new
hives. The bees must have warm
weather and must have gathered suf-
ficient nectar for their own use be-
fore they are moved. The date for
the enforcement of the law has been
put off until July in order to give all
bee keepers a chance to make the
necessary changes after the weather
was favorable. A legal hive must
be built in such way that the combs
can be removed without injuring any
that are in the hive. Failure to COM
ply with the law constitutes misde-
meanor and is punishable by fine of
$25. 90 for each offense. An official
bulletin on transferring bees and
containing information regarding the
new law may be had by writing to B.
F. Kindig, State Inspector, M. A.
c., East Lansing.
