in ten months ten hours, and in four
months eleven hours were permitted.
In some mining districts the hours of
labor have been reduced to seven and
one-half.
Legislation has fixed eight hours as
q days work in Spain, Portugal and
Denmark. Forty-fve hours per week
is proposed by legislation in Holland,
while Italy has adopted eight-hour
day in important industries.
France has adopted a general eight
hour law. It has been extended to
mining. II Belgium where twelve
and fourteen hours was a days work
before the war, the eight-hour day is
being introduced, while Switzerland
has amended its laws to make forty
eight hours a week the maximum in
all industrial establishments.
Labor the world over is winning

sociation dispatches of the last two
days tell of wonderful era of reduced
prices throughout the east and middle
west and of predictions that the re-
duced prices will spread throughout
the United States, let no one make the
mistake that any price reductions are
being made voluntarily either by the
merchants to the east or in our own
section.
after several years of robbery of
the public in the form of exorbitant
prices for necessities, it is not at all
likely that the merchants, either re-
tail or wholesale, in New York or Chi
cago, or in Butte, viii willingly re-
duce prices to a normal level unless
they are forced by conditions to do SO.
IN the present case, it is highly posi-
BILE that much Of the news relative to
reductions is in the nature of propa
ganda intended to lull the consuming
public to the end that the spirit Of un-
rest caused by high and steadily
mounting prices may be curbed,
"Then again, it may be possible ths
the sudden reductions in prices are
actually being made in a frantic ef-
fort by the merchants who are heavily
stocked to unload before the expected
crash occurs. Indeed, if the reports
of the price reductions, and the daily
reports showing overpowering bean
movements on the stock exchanges
and boards which has already swept
Japan and which is now sweeping
Europe, has arrived in the United

Already news reports tell of banl
failures in various states. In Kansas
