Labor Passed by Columbus States
men During Three Months

The Eighty-third General Assem-
bly, of Ohio is about concluding the
third month Of it's session. Up to the
present time no labor bills have been
passed though a number have been
introduced and are still in the COM
mittees.
The bill providing an eight-hour
day for the city fremen has passed
the house and is now in the Joint
Committee on Taxation. This bill is
having rough shedding.
The bills providing an eight-hour
day in continuous industries and the
bill for a weekly pay day have been
killed in the House Committee on
Labor.
The bill providing for eight-hours
for State Hospital employees will
very likely die in the committee.
At the present time there are in the
House Committee on Labor bills fur
thcr regulating the employment of
females and fixing their hours of
labor; amending the Workmen's Com
pensation law as agreed to by the In
dustrial Commission, manufacturers

HER LOVER

| was standing at the depot,
Watching trains go by,
When a lovely little maiden
With bright and shining eyes
Waved at a Pennsy fiagmen,
AS he got on board his train,
He turned and threw a kiss
Back to the little dame.
She turned to her companion,
Another maiden fair,
The fagman is my lover
On the Pennsy going there.
| come down here to see him
Whenever he goes through,
And wave a signal to him
Or say, How do you do.
But I've another lover,
He loves me most | know,
And he runs forty hundred
Over on the B. & 0.
| am always glad to see him
When he rounds the Church st. benC
For | know he'll come to see me
And to my wants attend.
There are other girls with lovers
All along the line,
But none Of them are in it
With this engineer Of mine;
For he will sit and pet me
And then my lips he'll kiss
My engineman's some lover
Said the charming little miss.
Thus she stood and prattled
A little child of ten,
About these two big hurley
But honest railroad men.
But now my story's ended
Don't think the child is bad
The flagman is her brother
The engineers her dad.

SAYS LEAGUE AS NOW
WILL NOT HALT WARS

KANSAS CITY, Mo, May 17.-That
the league of nations in it's present
proposed form will not accomplish the
prevention of war; will bring complf-
cations and disturbances destructive of
permanent peace: will be a departure
from time honored and substantial
American policies and traditions; will
endcnger national safety and is viola
tive of the spirit and letter of the
Constitution of the United States, was
the declaration of Judge Arba S. Van
Valkenburgh of the United States dis
trict court in an address before the
Kansas City Bar Association tonight
''One of the tragic dangers OF this
proposed league" he said, lis that il
is calculated to lhll us into the sense
of false security that by reliance upon
the league for protection against war
we may neglect to keep ourselves in
proper defensive posture. In this
mole plausible guise of the league OF
nations we find the same old pacifst
heresy, peace at any price even with
dishonor and national ruin; anything
whatsoever so it be labeled peace-a
doctrine which it was supposed the
experience of this war had discred-
tied for all time-we find this heresy
/ say. creeping forth into the light
again to threaten our future safety
