yTNEY OWNERS WILL BACK
BILL IN THE LEGISLATURE

JERSEY CITY. Dec. 27.-George
T.. Record today issued a statement
In reference to the plan of the PUB
lie Service interests to put through
the legislature at its coming session
an anti-jitney bill, designed to put
the iitney3 out of business. =,
cit is announced In the press.
said Mr., Record, that the Pubic
Service interests will, introduce IN
the legislature a bill this winter de-
signed 10 put the jitneys u of busi-
ness. The Public Service people have
been trying to do this for several
years. Last year they succeeded IN
passing a bill which put a portion or
the iitneys partially under the Jur-
isdiction OF the Public Utility COM
mission. Taking advantage OF that
experience the bus owners through
our the state are organizing to re-
sist any further attempt of the Pub
lie Service interests 10 injure the Jit-
new business. They will not content
themselves this year with trying to
defeat bills offered in the Interest of
the Public Service but will go to
Trenton on the opening day of the
legislature with their own bill, and
will make an organized effort to put
1t through the legislature.
1.-THE new bill will provide for the
exclusive licensing and regulation OF
the Jitney bus by the municipal au-
thorities Of each city. subject per-
haos to the general provision that
the Hates act requirement for an
adequate bond to be given by the jit-
neymen against accident, shall con-
tinue."

enjoyed Miss Pickford's favor as well
as the freedom o. the stage. How
ever, when Prince took a good look
at Sport and listened to what the
latter had TO say he decided he'd
rather stay outside. Besides, the st.
Bernard possesses a pedigree and
Prince is Just plain dog. He felt.
therefore. rat Sport was trying to
"hign-tone" him and determined not
to be insulted even b. q member of
the dog arlstocracy.
Temperament and talent. however
seem to go hand IN hand, for Sport
is rated as the greatest of all canine
actors. He stands tnirty-three inches
high. measures six feet from the tip
of his nosc to the tip of his tail,
weighs n hundred and sixty
pounds. an wears 81 twenty-four
inch collar. He is s.y years old and
has spent three years in pictures.

TIE industrial commission an
noanced hearings to be held through
ont tie state in tie first week in June
on The petition Of the Wisconsin State
Federation Of Labor, the Milwaukee
Council Of Social Agencies. and the
Wisconsin Consumers league, for an
increase in the minimum wage rates
and a decrease IN the hours of labor
81 women and minors. which has been
pending before the commission since
last fan. On June I hearings win be
held ar Superior. Green Bay. Ia
Crosse and Sheboygan: on June . az
Chippewa Fails. Eau Claire. Antigo
and kenosha and Fond du Lac: and
IN June s al Janesville. Wausaw. MIL
waukee and Madison. No conclustcLs
have been reached as yet by the com
mission or the advisory wage board
Epon this petition. Reports which
have appeared that a rate nj 2T cents
an hour has been agreed upon are
without foundation. Not even tenta-
tive conclusions have as yet been
reached. In the notices being sent
out by the commission the statement
is made that information is desired
upon the cost of living 10 self-support-
ing women in Wisconsin as shown by
recent surveys, and also upon whether
there Is difference in the minimum
cost OF living in large and small towns
and, If so, what Is a fair difTerential.
Information is also sought upon wheth-
er a reduction in the hours of labor
OF women is necessary for their health
and safety. and particularly whether
there are industries and occupations
in which the work is such that an IN
usual strain is produced, rendering
shorter hours more necessary than in
most lines Of work. The commission
also desires information upon any re
spect in which the minimum wage
law as at present administered does
not work out satisfactorily. The pres
ent minimum rate is % cents an hour.
having been established at that figure
in 1919. This rate allows $40 per
week for board. 50 per week for room
rent. $3.50 per week for clothing. and
50 for incidentals. The petitioners
who seek an increase in the rate
claim that these allowances are too
small, and that. despite decreases. the
minimum cost of living of self-support-
/ ing women is still higher than it was
two years ago, and that rents in par
/ ticular have increased. On the other
/ hand, it IS contended that the present
time Is inappropriate for an increase
1 in the minimum wage rates. and that
living costs are coming down rapidly

4 warning against state as we'll as
local Tammanys. which he branded as
wreckers Of efficient work. by high
way construction commissions was
sounded by A. r. Hirst, state high
was engineer of Wisconsin. at the an
nual banquet of the Portland Cement
association in Chicago. Mr.. Hirst
urged that citizens and taxpayers all
over the nation organize TO prevent
politicians and inefficient commissions
from wasting millions which have
been appropriated for good roads.
when a state has from 100000 10
S100000000 TO spend for highway

tention of the new Tammanys and
other political machines" he said.
'yyhen there were only a few thou
sands for road building these noliti-
clans considered il chicken feed and
paid little attention TO 1t. Now when
state has an immense sum politi-
clans cannot ret to il quickly enongh.
When n politician sets himself an as
sole arbiter If expenditures for high
way construction, he Is throwing 9
monkey wrench into the machinery Of
a department which Is operating on
an efficient ard economical basis. The
governor who will do things like that
Injuries the cause of highway construe-
ton. Highway work must be divorced
from politics. It is a disgrace to any
state whose officials refuse to COM
plete a link of good roads between
Chicago and Milwaukee-and am not
going 70 name that state-because
they cannot have everything their
way" Mr.. Hirst added that when q
state changes its political complexion
and with II the leadership in its high
way department. the shock Is felt
throughout the commonwealth.
