NEW YORK, Dec. The twelve

The statement follows:
sIt is a matter of very much
! qualification to me that the FEEDER

our foremost society Of skill should
have given two years of diligent
INQUIRY under experts to a subjec,
which Is of deep interest to me and
important to the country.
II rejoice to know that decisions
of this great body are identical will
those 1 have reached from a socia
viewpoint. 1t has seemed to me fol
a long time that the twelve houl
day and the type of worker it pro
duces have outlived their u~sefulnes.
in American life in the interest 81
economies stability. The old ordel
of a twelve hour day must give wa
to a better system SO that bette
family life and citizenship may bs
enjoyed by all our people.
"This clear and convincing repor

ingly helpful that this much to o.
desired result can be achieved wife

LOCAL LEGISLATION

The city council meets this evening
IL regular session. We understand it
will be the aim of the council to do
everything possible to meet expenses,
make essential improvements and
keep down the taxes. The millage, of
course, will have to be raised, but not
so much if this policy is followed as
if some thousands of dollars is appro-
priated for non-essentials. The neces-
sities of the city, next to administra-
ton, police and fire protection, are the
light and water plant and the streets.
1t is the wish of the council, so we are
told, to keep everything running in
good order, and add a few blocks to
the paved streets every year without
calling for a new bond issue. It seems
to be the opinion of the council that
Il its present members can keep up
this policy, it will be followed by it's
successors until the paving catches
up with the street area and we have
a well paved town. If some council
twenty years ago or more had inau-
gurated this plan, we would now have
good streets and comparatively low
taxation.

LEESBURG LOST

The Wildcats invaded the Leesburg
diamond yesterday afternoon and
brought home the bacon. The crack
Leesburg nine was no match for the
revised edition of the Wildcats and
we licked them to the tune of five to
one.
Old Folks Whitney performed for
the Wildcats and did his regular good
work. He held the Leesburg sluggers
to six scattered hits and at no time
was in any serious danger. Scharding
pitched for Leesburg and also held the
Wildcats to six safeties but we were
able to turn our hits into runs and hit
when hits counted for more than those
of the Leesburg lads.
Leesburg made three errors while
Ocala made only two. Edwards start
ed the game behind the bat for Lees
burg but their old friend Buckles was
discovered in the grandstand and he
was requested to dress in uniform and
take his old position.
Inc Ocala Dand ana quite a large
number of rooters went with the
Wildcats. The band played frequently
during the game although it did not
appear that Leesburg appreciated the
music much. They requested the UNI
pire to have the band play shorter
pieces and fewer of them because they
had come to a ball game and not a
bard concert.
The Ocala fans, however, much ap-
preciated the presence of the band
and thank its members for making the
trip.
Ieesburg will play in Ocala this
afternoon and Thursday afternoon.
Ocala returns to Leesburg Friday aft
erncOn.

LAUGHTER PROVOKING
BRANCH OF THE LEGION

Jacksonville, August 15.-The local
post of the American Legion has Or
ganized a chapter of the La Societe
Nationals des 40 Hommes ct Chew
eaux, the fun-making branch of the
Legion. Other posts through the
state have taken similar action in line
with provision made by the national
organization whereby the means of
doughboy transportation in France
is memorialized.
The light side of the Legion de-
rives its name from the dinky rail-
road equipment in which the soldiers
were huddled. The cars were not
ashamed of themselves; they pro-
claimed their ability in broad letters
to carry 40 men and eight horses.
Instead of horses the American army
used the space for 'non-coms."

hoods in abandoning through passen-
ger trains at Needles, Arizona, Bar
STOW, Calf, and Seiigman, Arizona,
seaS denounced last night as DELHI
erlte conspiracy, a violation of their
1oIsmn agrceme with the railroad
ard an inhuman act, by A. G. Wells,
vice president Of the Atcnison, Topeka
= Santa Fee railway.
None OF the reasons given for
these lawless acts is valid" Mr.. Wells
declared. The Santa Fe has asked
10 man TO take out unsafe equipment.
Il has no unsafe equipment and has
been and is literally meeting all re-
quirements of the safety appliance
act. Inspectors of the bureau of
safety, interstate commerce, have
made many examinations recently of
the Santa Fe power and have given
the company clean bill of health.
THE sympathetic strikers have Civ
en- no specifications as to unsafe equip
m2nt o. other unsafe conditions in the
environment wher the strike took
place. For justification of their law
less and inhuman conduct at Needles
and other desert places they are driv-
en- to refer to some bomb throwing a
few days ago at San Bernardino, $50
miles away from Needles, where the
trouble has not been of a sort to in
duce train service men to refuse to
perform their accustomed duties, and
which incidentally occurred subse-
quently to the calling of the strike at
Needles.
"Aften abandoning trains filled with
people, including aged, infrm, wom-
an and children, in the desert, with the
mercury at 125 in the shade, the strike
committee of the big four in session
At Needles received a committee of
five representing the marooned pas
sangers who asked them to man the
trains to help the sufferers. They
we're told that mot a damned wheel
would turn until the Santa Fe remov-
81 the guards about it's yards
'In addition to the indefensible
treatment of the passengers, nearly
5000 carloads Of perishable products
belonging to farmers are standing at
Needles and other points and are fast
deteriorating.

Las Vegas, Nevada, Aug. 14.-In
accordance with an agreement to
move marooned passengers out of the
blistering heat of the desert, four
trains left here last night iced, water
ed and inspected by strikers The
trains were the Los Angeles Limited,
Continental Limited and Overland Ex-
press, eastbound.
All four trains proceeded slowly

with striking rail men riding on all
cars to frustrate any possible at
tempt to haul non-union employees out
of town, the train crews refusing, ac-
cording to the strike committee, to
handle trains carrying such passen-
