has notified his striking miners that
he does not hold them responsible |
for the strike and in return for their
loyalty in the past and in an effort to Il
help them over their unemployment,
the rents of their homes will be re- |
duced so per cent and every employee
will be allotted garden spot
A bridge has been designed to span
the Hudson River at New York that
will be the most important gateway
to the West. Its lower deck will car
ry II railroad tracks. its upper deck
roadway, two and half times as wide |
as Fifth Avenue, will take care of 10 |
streams of vehicles. There will be
room on the upper deck for four sur
face car lines and two sidewalks. AL |
though the bridge will cost $l30,000,-
600 it is believed it will pay for itself |
by cutting the cost of bringing goods
across from the Hudson from S228
to so cents a ton.
In line with retr enchment of navy
appropriations a new bill provides |
that not more than zoo members of |
the ~ graduating class at Annapolis
shall be commissioned, but unless the
the 1923 naval appropriation bill is
passed and signed before June 3rd, !
the whole class of SAL members will |
have to receive commissions as in the |
past.
The chances are very good that the |
bill will not be signed in time to pre-
vent the larger number of commits |
sions.
Expert investigation has recently !
been made to see if clerical workers
IN the government employ cannot
stand an eight hour day with contin-
uous efficiency in order that the days
work in government employ may be
the same as in the industrial world if |
possible.
The tests show that they can work
eight hours with greater effic oncv
than can many skilled laborers ro7r.-
ing muscular activity who show : |
loss after six hours. Economy to the
government without loss of efficiency
Is the purpose of the 1engthening of
the clerical day. The move has not |
gone further yet than cabinet discus
sion.

each to be the first or only one of its |
kind and fund of 100000 will be
required.
DIR. Copeland, health commissioner
OF N. Y. City, says the children of |
the rich who die three to one as COM
pared with the poor OF that city are
the victims of "Nursities." That chill |
dren need the mother touch in their
early care and also that children who
have mucch personal association with
their mothers are much brighter of
intellect than those turned over to
nurse-maids and hirelings for atten-
ton.
West Madison Street in Chicago
has t9F SO long had large numbers of
labor agencies on It. that it has COME
to be known as Labor's Gateway of
The West--and month ago if was
thronged by probably 10000 mef out
OF work. Since that time the call to
steel mills, lumber industries. summer
resorts and especially to the farms of
the middle west where farmers are
offering $3.50 to 81 per day with good
board has almost cleared the street
OF all except the hobo species, who
really evade their opportunities By
TINS token it is encouraging to think
that good times are coming back.
