NEW YORK, January 6.-Employ-
ers in New York state were warned

pers, president of the American Fed
| GRAFTON of Labor. that organized Ia
Dor would oppose vigorously any at
| tempt to enact legislation establish
ing an industrial relations court.
He referred particularly to the
measure proposed by the New York
Board of Trade and Transportation.
"If such law is passed." he de-
| clared. "it will not work, because 1t
| will not be obeyed."
Mr.. Gompers announced that he
would tour the principal cities of the
country and rally the forces of labor
| to fight proposed legislation of that
character.
Employing interests in the state of
New York." the statement said. "ap-
: parently intend to put forth every ef-
fort to bring about the enactment
| in that state Of legislation patterned

| tives of the labor movement in New
| York state already have indicated
| that labor will oppose any such meas

| a measure, but it will find oposition

! there is a clear conviction that justice
can be had in industry only through

Describing the general purposes
of the museum. the secretary OF the

| of thirty days before cessation OF
| work may take place, and that during
| the thirty-day period the state in
dustrial commissioner will be re-
quired to,investigate the facts in dis
pute.
"a curious feature of the proposed
bill is that provision is suggested for
the use of the injunction, SO that en-
ployers will be practically instructed
l by the law to seek a writ Of injunc-

! strike takes place"
1.-The proposed BILL" Mr.. Gompers
said, lis entirely wrong in principle
and contrary to the Constitution of

proposes to enforce compulsory labor

The Feminine Hand Bag

! 1t would be interesting if some
s.stistician could compute the num-
bers of women's hand bags that are
lost annually, and the amount of
time spent in hunting for them.
The modern woman is dependent
upon this article of her outfit, in
which she carries money, spectacles,
railroad tickets, and various artificial
and emergency aids to beauty. As
fashion deprives her of the commodi-
Gus pockets afforded the male ami
NAL, She can hardly be blamed for
her dependence upon this article of
baggage. But while ehgrossed in
conversation it is very easy to drop
this essential, and soon there is a
wild search for the valuables.
1t is very common when a mixed
company goes out for some lady to
lose her handbag, and many and
protracted are the delays resulting
therefrom. Some genius needs to
devise a plan by which the receptacle
can be firmly attached to the person
of its owner. Probably it should be
riveted around her neck and worn
day and night.
