WHAT WOULD A

WASHINGTON. ID. G. Feb 81
John ID. Rockefeller. Jr.. told his
Bible class that the six.h hour day
would be an aid TO Satan. because
the latter would find work for Idle
hands.
samuel Gompers says that tho
more fresh air. the more recr-a-
ton and relaxation. the stronger the
mind becomes to withstand tcmpta-
,ion 10 do those things he should not
do.
''ff the effects observed upon the
lahoring man by the shortening OF
his working day Is the work OF Satan
then Satan has certainly been mis-
rel resented In the past" says
Goupers.
Work q man ~ hours . day and
he will stand up under u for about

Compers. without detrimcnt TO mind.

Excessive hours Of work create
the poison Of fatigue. and the aver

$500 VOTES AT
PRIMARY LOST
Failure to Manipulate Ma
chimes Correctly Discovered

Between $500 and 5000 men and
women who thought they voted for
mayor at tho primary election ON
February ~ did not vote at ALL ac-
cording TO estimates made by city
Comptroller Harry w. Carroll and
his chief deputy. James l.. Agnew,
Altho the $500 or $500 left the
polling booths and voting machines
sereneiy confident that they had cast
their votes for Caldwell. Fitzgerald
or Duncan. the fact Is that a desire
10 keep their votes deep secret
from voters who followed them into
tho booths resulted In notification
Of their ballots.
In nutshell the act that lost he.
tween $500 and $500 mayoralty
votes was this; A voter. fearing that
the man or woman who next fol-
lowed him would see how he voted
on the mayoralty contest. would pull
down tho pointer over tho name %
Fitzgerald. Caldwell or Duncan. and
then push II up again before he
swung the lever which automatically
registered the voters wish.
This precautionary measure was
first discovered early on election day
az ono OF the fire stations. Fircmen
seated on the balcony were able To
look straight down into tho booth.
one of The firemen observed a WON
an pun the pointer over one Of the
mayoralty candidates name and then
push il up again before she swung
the lever. Interested. tho firemen
kept watch and saw scores OF such
acts. Aiiho the cautious voter did
the "pulland.push" act with the
pointer over the mayoralty eandi'
dates. II was not noticed that the
same cautious voter 80 acted with re-
gard 20 other candidates for whom
he voted.
While the lost votes for mayor
probably would have no effect on
tho final outcome. voters will he
warned By the city comptroller mo-,
20 pull the 'puil-and.push" stunt
with the pointer at the general cleo
ton. next Tuesday.
