Industrial Commission for Nebraska.
C An Industrial commission fashioned
after that which Kansas provided by
act of the legislature, to handle labor
disputes, has been authorized by a
vote of the people of Nebraska, in
the form of a constitutional amend
ment
1t provides that laws may be en-
acted for the investigation, submission
and determination of controversies be-
tween employers and employees in any
business affecting the public interest
and for the prevention of unfair bust
ness practices, and nnconsciOnable
gains in any business or vocation af-
fecting the public welfare. An in
dustrial commission may be created for
the purpose of administering such
laws, and appeal shall lie in the Su-
preme court from the final orders and
Judgment of such commission.
. Labor unions opposed the amendment
on the ground that it meant involun-
tary servitude and deprived them Of
their most effective weapon.

Japs curtaiI Cotton Manufacture.

JdpS CuTtall CoCLon MANUFACTURE
The japanese Cotton Spinners' union
has decided on the extension of the
period of the curtailment of the manu-
facture of cotton yarns and to reduce
the manufacture by 40 per cent in
stead of 80 per cent. Furthermore, the
union has passed a resolution to try
and Increase the export of the ac-
cumuIating stocks to American and
other foreign markets. O
Inquiries for the expectation of
goods to the United States have been
made, but the result has proved unsat-
Isfactory. The market price of cot
ton yarns in the United States at
present is lower than the rate quoted
in Japan and the rate proposed by
Japanese exporters is about two cents
higher than the American rate per
yard.
Under these circumstances the -ex-
pOrtatiOn of Japanese manufactures to
America seems hopeless at present,
and the same is true as to the ex-
pOrtation of cotton cloth.

NEW YORK, May 7.-Evelyn Mes
bit Thaw Clifford has again hit the
spotlight on Broadway, and in a
new pose. This time it is she who
has been sued for divorce-by her
erstwhile dancing partner, Jack Cliff
ford.
The suit seems to round complete
ly the former Mrs. Harry K. Thaw's
varied experiences with the stronger
sex, and during a rehearsal of her
new dancing act at Keith's New York
theater, she gave me today an inter
view she said ought to be entitled
Evelyn Nesbit's Thought on Men at

She's Different Evelyn.
Ten years have made her a new
Evelyn. Today, as she discusses man,
woman and marriage, she talks phil
osophy like a college professor.
For instance, she told me that she
thinks husbands are bound to go in
the evolution of the race. She says
They are not necessary to woman's
happiness, for they are not domestic
by nature and only keep woman on
pins and needles trying to keep them
contented at home. l believe with
Edward Carpenter, Havelock Ellis
and other famous students of the in
stitution of marriage, that men and
women should have separate abodes
and that women should bring up the
children.

respect men who can make money.
This is because in this materialistic
age money means power and all hu-
man beings long for, and admire,
power. Therefore no woman today
respects a man who cannot make
money, who is not man among men.
And where there is not respect, there
cannot be love.

Il handled the purse because the

and felt my respect and my love
