The inclusion of the park watch
follows:
'The committee recommends that
the compensation of park watchmen,
who perform the same service as
members of the Metropolitan police,
as required by the act of August 5.
should be increased, to place them
upon equal footing. Your committee
is of the opinion that this is most de-
sirable, not only because the service
performed b ythe park watchmen

mended, but also because of the fact
that they are unable to meet their
expenses for the ordinary necessities
of life. Instances of unusual hard.

committee because of the extremely
meager salaries now paid these men,

for recommending the merit sys-
tenn for appointment and promotion

ton. For all officers and members
of the force, except the superinten'
dent, assistant superintendent. and

mends because they have concluded

per week wage for women employed
in mercantile establishments.

tions through The Times recently, but

rulings follow:

payment for women and minors en-
ployed on part time?

forty-eight-hour week.
Q.-Is there any difference as to
this basis between establishments
working, say forty-eight hours and
| forty hours a week?
| A.-No.
O.-Can | employ a woman or minor
| for six hours a day and pay that pro-
portional part of a weekly wage?
A-Yes.
Q.-Must pay for holidays in order
that the employees shall receive the
! required minimum wage?
A-The emploYe is entitled to a
| full weeks pay if she works the full
! time week of the establishment.

| in restaurants connected with mer-
camille establishments will come un,
| der the provisions of the hotel and

PREPARES TO ANSWER

10 Utilities Board on Gas Question.

Knoxville Called on to Present Reply
to Utilities Board on Gas question.
Knoxville, June 20.-(Special) Can
a state legislature enact law which
will invalidate or supersede a bona tide
contract? Would such law, pertain
ing to break a contract, for that rea-
son become unconstitutional?
These are points to be raised by the
city of Knoxville in the Knoxville Gas
company's case before the state utili-
ties commission. City Attorney ]. Pike
Powers, Jr.. reported at a meeting of
the city commission that Atty.-Gen.
Frank NJ. Thompson has given an opin-
ion in which he declares that a bill
passed by the legislature creating
public utilities commission and giving
that commission power to regulate the
rates to be charged by public service
corporations would supersede any con-
tract that such corporations might
have.
Mr.. Powers announced that the city
has been notified to make answer or
defense before the utilities commission
at Nashville in the case. He recon-
mended that Gen. Chas. T. Gates be
retained as especial counsel in the case.
since Gen. Gates is already familiar
with the gas case, having fought 1t
through the federal court. Mayor John
e. Mcmillan has named Gen. Gates to
represent the city in the matter.

PLANS TO WELCOME
RETURNED SOLDIERS
BRADLEY AND MEIGS UNITE
IN DEMONSTRATION.
Exercises of an Elaborate Ma
ture to take Place at Fair
view Church.

Cleveland, June 20.-(Special.)-
An elaborate Homecoming welcome
for returned soldiers of Bradley ana
Meigs counties has been planned 10
take place at Fairview church on
Sunday, June 20. The location IS IN
Bradley county, but adjacent 10 tne
Meigs county line, and will be IN the
nature of a community welcome,
where county and imaginary lines
are obliterated. Bradley has ALREADY
welcomed her returning heroes IN d
very clever and elaborate manner,
but since that time many OF ner
boys have returned who were tnen
"over there.
So anxious were the people to show
their appreciation for the proud par
their boys played in the war tnae
they were a little premature, as some
think. in celebrating the return OF
the conquering heroes before a con-
siderable number of them had re-
turned. Several are yet in the Slxtn
division, but as they are on nome
shores it is assumed that they VIII
be home by that time. This welcome
will be patterned after the one held
at Eastyiew, in Meigs county, by an
all day singing, with a sumptuous
dinner spread on the grounds. Pror.
Charles G. Gross and Walter Golfer
have been assigned to conduct the
singing from the old-fashioned four
note songbooks, always a rare draw
ing card. Prof. Gross and others
will also entertain with speeches re-
plete with praise in song and story
for the gallant conduct of the young
men who went out from this COM
rnunity under their country's colors.
Returned soldiers from everywhere
are equally welcome where bareback
and "corneds Willie" are not on the
bill of fare, but will be supplanted
with fried chicken and all the deli
cacies that go with it.

HIRAM'S PRESIDENTIAL

KNOCKED OUT BY NATURAL
REACTION OF EFFORT.
Several Candidates in q. o. p.
In Sight for Nom
ination,
.tBy John D. Erwin.)

Washington, June 20.-Hiram
Johnson's presidential boom has had
the wind knocked out of II by the
natural reaction that has followed an
inspired effort to make II go. When
this aspiring progressive republican
thought the time was ripe to arouse
public enthusiasm over his pros
pective succession to the presidency
he touched the button and the news
agencies got busy telling the Ameri-
can people how the man of the hour
had been discovered and how all the
progressive republican leaders had
been committed to his support.
There are several reasons why such
story as this couldn't withstand
the scrutiny of the critics. In the
first place 1t was absurd to say that
these republican leaders were COM
mitted to any individual, for 1t is an
open secret here that the leaders of
each element are themselves candi-
dates. All of them want the job.
Each OF them wants the republican
nomination. All observant people
know this, and. knowing 1t, they only
smiled when the Johnson boom was
turned loose.
Where Johnson and the publicity
agents who spread the cooked-up
story made a mistake was In saying
the progressive republican leaders in
the senate had been pledged to the
support of the Californian. If they
had manufactured general story the
johnson boom would probably have

Paris, June 20.-Q. N. Sill the
allies are compelled to invade Germany
one of the first measures taken VIII be
TO round III and arrest those leaders
responsible for the war in the first place
as well as the leaders who opposed
signing the treaty and who counte-
nanced violence and resistance. Thls
was learned authoritatively today Their
names are known and have been trans
mitted to the military authorities con-
cerned.
Thus by eliminating the chief source
of trouble at the outset-those not
headed pan-Germans who would incite
the civilian population-and the re-es-
tablshment of the blockade, together
with heavy food requisition for the in
vading troops, it is expected that the
,hopelessness of the situation will be
impressed quickly upon the German
people.
Confidence is still expressed by
American delegates that the invasion
will be unnecessary. for they believe
the Germans will sign.
In French official circles today II was
believed that Erzberger and his asso-
ciates are becoming alarmed by the
stern measures proposed by the allies
and have begun the formation Of a new
government, which, should Eberts gov
eminent refuse to sign, would take over
command and sign the treaty to save
Germany from worse fate.
