The Winslow mail., 1919-01-24

Two years ago the legislature
passed a minimum wage law of
$40 per week for women, and
now an amendment has been Of
fered raising the legal stipend to
$2O. While they are considering
this bill would it not be we'll also
for Mrs. Mckay to introduce an
other amendment taking t h e
joker out of Sec. III Of the Pc
nal Code where the eight-hour
law for women does not apply
when not more three females are
employed at one time. If eight
hours is a legal days work for
woman, what difference does it
make whether there is one en-
ployed or dozen? The legisla-
ture gets its constitutional pc
rogative to regular hours of labor
under the clause of regulating
the health and morals of the cit
liens, and if it is injurious to the
health of women to work more
than eight hours does it change
conditions when not more three
women are employed? Did you
ever stop to think that perhaps
Is per cent of female workers
are employed in places where not
to exceed three are working?
Then what good is the present
law if that joker is continued in
force? The joker specifically re-
cites that the exception shall ap-
ply to telephone, telegraph and
exchange offices, but in effect it
includes all lines of employment,
as the courts would no doubt
hold. Special class legislation is
not usually held constitutional.

Ruthenlana.

Ruthenian is the name given 10
Christian inhabitants of what was for
merly known as Little Russia" living
in what is eastern Austria, and also In
southeastern Poland. They use the
ancient Greek liturgy translated into
the old Slavonic tongue, though Ro-
man Catholics processing obedience to
the See Of Rome. They have mar
ried secular clergy, following what is
known as the use of st. Basil. 1t
should, however, be noted that the
name is sometimes loosely applied in
Canada to several Russian sects living
in the West.

The Bath Habit.

In the eighteenth century the bath
was a seasons event, and soap was al.
most thing unknown. 1t was scarce
Iy ever used, or at least infrequently.
It was by no means Indispensable az
q toilet necessity. And most Of us
can recall the time, muses. an ex-
change, when Saturday night was re-
ligiously dedicated to the weekly
bath. That is why we all apprecf
ate the story of the woman who wrote
her friend: "We just moved into a
new apartment. 1t has the cutest
bathtub. I can hardly wait until Sat
urday night"

Testino PIeurisy With Coins.

A novel method Of diagnosing pleur-
isy is described by P. Lereboullet in
the Paris Medical. The examiner ap-
plies his ear to the patients chest,
closing his other ear, while coins are
clinked at the patients back. The
sound Of the coins coming through a
healthy, normally aerated lung seems
distant and dull, while through an af-
fscted lung, through solid or homo
geneous tissue a clear, silvery. metal
lie ring is heard. eM.

The workmen in the shipyards
at Seattle, numbering 25, 600 it is
alleged, went on strike We'd
nesday for an increase in pay to
S1.00 an hour for mechanics and
S6 and 81 day for helpers.
1t is just such folly as this exhi-
bition that brings organized la
Dor into disrepute. These men
are now drawing 80c an hour for
eight hours, with extra pay FOR
overtime, and yet they will pre-
cipitate labor troubles, without
giving the government an oppor-
tunity to arbitrate. There are
thousands of employers in this
country who have their capital
tied up in their business, have to
assume all the element OF risk IN
making the business profitable,
and work just as many hours a
day, if not more, than any OF
their employees, who are not max
ing a dollar an hour out of their
business. Organized labor has
got to recognize the fact that the
employer is entitled to a reason
able profit on his capital and the
financial risk he assumes in try
ing to build up a business, and
in addition thereto he certainly
is entitled to the same wage for
the time he puts in managing the
business that he pays to his en-
ployes. The employer has some
rights as we'll as the employe.

Dead Locusts Valuable

Locusts are plentiful in Uruguay,
and the farmers of that republic are
compelled to keep up constant war
against them. Millions of these de-
structive insects are killed every year.
Recently 1t was learned that soap, fer
tilizer and lubricating oil may be OBJ
tanned from the dead locusts, and in
the future they will be utilized for
that purpose. - Popular Science
