Q. What is the significance OF the
emblem OF the cod in the legislative
chamber OF Massachusetts,?
A. The emblem Of the cod is pre-
served within view OF all members Of
the legislative body so that they may
never forget their loyalty to this valu-
able commercial FISH. 1t is a custom
adapted from England, where the
cushion OF the presiding officers chair
is stuffed with wool 1t has been
facetiously remarked that the cushion
is always made a little hard so that
the lesson will be over-present that
English wool must be taken care OF in
all legislation.

Q. What is the federal law pro-
hibiting the shooting OF SWAMI Is
the law effective indefinitely or for

A. A treaty with Great Britain pro-
vides for the protection of swans and
the act of congress permitting the

killing of swans at any time. The fact
that the treaty with Great Britain will
expire in two years does not. in the
opinion OF the agricultural department.

will ever again be permitted

CITY COURTS FAIL

Albany, N. Y., March 15-The nluni cipal court system of New York City is failure according to a commission appointed by Governor Smith There are AS judges who preside in the 2 municipal court districts The report says:
 ''The judicial business IS not con- ducted throughout the city with promptness and dignity. There is a substantial lack of confidence in the capacity and courtesy of the court and to some degree in its impartiality. The failure of this court to fulfill the minimu mrequirements for a satisfac- tory administration of justic Is directly traceable in large part to failure to adjust the structure of the court to modern conditions.
 The report states that municipal court districts are gerrymandered SO as to follow very closely political lines, until I've might say that in some dis tricts We have a democratic court or a republican court, rather than court of justice

 Agreement to

Greenwich P aint CT Case, Involving Condo Mast Plant, Has Unique Windup

Norwalk, Mar. 15.-Judge Edwin S. Thomas in United States district court here Monday, arranged gentleman agreement" between the J. H. Hass Co.,, of Jersey City, N. J., contracting paint CTS, and the Greenwich local painters union by which work on the Condo Mast plant at Greenwich is to be. con- tinued until Judge Thomas decided the question of granting the Hass Co.,, an injunction restraining the local from interfering with it's work
 The Hass Co. claimed that 1t was hiring Greenwich painters at $9 for a 5H day week, the rat prevailing in Greenwich. The local union, on the other hand, contended its men should get $10 day for 5 day week, or the terms prevailing in Jersey City. The Hass Co. wanted the Greenwich union restrained from calling itb men off the Mast job.
 Judge Thomas suggested the Hass Co., post bond of $500 and the Green wich men be paid the Greenwich rates until April 2l by which time Judge Thomas will issue his decision as to an injunction.

B. & M. SHOPMEN
 CARRY ON STRIKE
Reject Company Offer to Re-employ
 Men

Boston, March l4-The striking shop
 mechanics of the Boston and Maine sys-
 tenn. who have been on strike since
 July l. 1922. have turned down the pro-
 position, made by the executive of that
 system that they return O work. This
 announcement was made at the System
 Federation's headquarters, after the tab
 ulation of the votes that have been poll
 ed during the past 10 days by the me cllanics involved.
 Tie proposition of the railroad exec utives was that the men would be re-
 employed according to seniority, and
 providing that their previous service had
 been satisfactory, the railroad would show no discrimination against any man who went on strike. It was also de- c1ared that union committees would be recognized as heretofore. and no new men employed i'll the strikers positions until all the strikers had been re-en,- p1oyed
 The vote boiled by the mechanics, n- cluding machinists, carmen, boiler1na- kers blacksmiths, sheet metal workers
 and electrical workers throughout the entire system is said to have been .vir- tually 10 to 1 against acceptance This vote, it is baid, was due largely to the !, fact that the proposition was of an oral nature, and was not placed before the strikers ill writing One other reason 1 for its rejection advanced was that nc provision was mentioned for the return
 of any great number of the men at a specified time.

Irolleyn1en Oppose
 Daylight Saving
Advance in Working Hours Pulls Them Out in Middle of the
 Night

A referendum of the trolleymen all over Connecticut is now under way on the question of daylight saving" so- called and from the tenor of the votes already cast and the sentiments ex- pressed by the trolley workers, the re- suit will be overwhelmingly against any such plan being instituted in the future such as was in vogue in the past few years New Haven, Waterbury and the other big cities have already over whelmingly voted against the mixed up system forced upon them through the changes in hours made by other lines of business when the working hours are set ahead.
 The average trolleyman on the day srun now has to leave his house at T a. m, or earlier to reach the barns to get his cars out at i AS or earlier, depending on where he has to start his run from. With the shift in hours it means that he has to get out at least an hour earlier or get out from be- tween the sheets about the time some of those jewellers who want the work ing time changed are crawling into bed.

CHILD LABOR IS
 GROWINCBYLEAPS
 THRU CONNECTICUT
Jumps 62 Per Cent. in Eight Months Over Entire Year
 Before

Despite the claims of the Chamber
 of Commerce of Waterbury and way stations, that Child Labor Is not in creasing, as declared by the Rev. MT.
 Maurer of New Haven few weeks
 ago and indignantly denied by the said i chambers, now comes along figures
 quoted by an authority before the State | Consumers League at Hartford this week, declaring the employment of children is increasing by leaps and bounds in Connecticut, supposed to have an adequate anti-child labor law.
 The speaker was Dr. Mary Crowell Welles, general secretary of the league and she said:
 Employment certificates were issued
 to 729O school children between the
 ages of IA and 16 in the eight months
 beginning August 1922 as again against
 4.662 for the entire year preceding. Thus in eight months the number of children between IA and 16 who were
 put to work by their parents and en- ployed by graSpIng employers was oo
 per cent more than the entire number
 put to work during the whole year be- fore If that isn't an alarming increase then she declared she did not know what is.
 Dr. Welles urged a bill pushed
 through the legislature making if com
 pulsory for a child under 1o years to
 to have passed through three eighth grades of school before being permitted to go to work She declared that other wise the child will not be capable,
 either mentally or physically, to carry in these times of hustle and hustle in America.

BANKRUPTCY RINGS"
 SCORED BY JUDGES

New York, March 15.-Federal Judge Rogers has made public the con- tents, hitherto held confidential, of a report of federal judges on evils that are perpetrated under the bankruptcy laws.
 It is charged that bankruptcy rings exist in certain districts. These rings are said to exact exorbitant and un- warranted fees, to control estates se- cretly in the interest of the bankrupts themselves, to encourage and control unfair settlements, to file petitions on fictitious assigned claims and generally to defeat the underlying purposes of the federal bankruptcy act.
 Judge Rogers says that many of these evils can be corrected by the fed eral judiciary. He presents several recommendations.

Hart were passing the Star barber shop, at 20 Commercial street, and their attention was attracted by the sight of Charles Abajian, bar Der, shaving a man, while another man sat nearby, apparently waiting for his turn. Officer Feeney brought Abajian to police headquarters and booked him for Police court. The case was con- tinued

HOUSING HITS OFFICE MEN

New York, March 15.-Office work CTS are badly hit because of housing scarcity, according to the city's spe- cial housing committee. It was stated that white collar-men," whe receive 5000 a year and less, are forced to live in reighborhoods that their wage does not permit.
 This city exempts new houses from taxation and the commission says that because of this law more than 100000 families have been housed in a decent manner. But for the tax exemption law, the report said, rents would be higher.
 New York's chief need, the report adds, is homes of greates comfort, with hot water, heat and electricity. These homes can not be built to rent for less than SIS to $20 room.

LABOR LAWS FOR WOMEN AREIlPHELD
 SUPREME COURT
States May Legally Prohibit or Limit Employment at Night, it
 Declares

Washington, March 14-State may legally limit the hours of work of wo men ill certain industries and prohibit their employment after certain hours at night, the supreme court declared this week, in a decision sustaining the con- stitutionality of a New York Labor law.
 The case was brought by Joseph Ra- dice restaurant keeper in Buffalo, who was convicted of having permitted a waitress to work after 10 o'clock at night, in violation of the act of 1917.
 Pointing out that there was good req son for believing that the New York Legislature had correctly concluded that the injurious consequences of night em- ploynent were more pronounced upon women than upon the men, the suprem court, in an opinion delivered by Justice Sutherland held that the law under at tack was not an undue and arbitrary in reference with the liberty of contract between adults in the matter of employ mert
 The requestion as to what extent the elnpoyn1ent of women should be permitt- ed is one, he said, for the Legislatures of the states to determine. When laws have been enacted to prohibit employ mert detrimental to the health of women the courts, the opinion said, must go slow in setting them aside, and cannot do so when the harmful effect of the prohi- bited employment is fairly debateable question
