Womcn'S CIVIC Niup.
Many members of the Women's
Civic club, with their husbands and
friends, attended a mask HalloW-

were arranged for the evening by

The prize which was Glanced off

en- for the prizes.

Essex County Court of Com
mon Pleas found he was emit
tied to $1,000 under the work
mans compensation law. The
Supreme Court confirms the ac-
ton of the court below.
The question as defined by
the higher court was whether
or not such a hold-up, where
employer and employee we've
working together, could reason
ably be anticipated as connect
ed with the employment. IN
these times, said the court,
when such events are OF more
than daily occurrence, we think
there can be only one answer.
AS a matter of common knowl-
edge. every employee with me-
ney Of his employer in his Gus
tody or working in the neigh
borhood Of the cash, may we'll
expect that something might
happen. The bank messenger,
the payroll custodian, the col
lector and cashier, and all
working around them are sub
ject to the risk" Clearly there
is here statement of fact not to
be denied.
Such is life in the complex
civilization of the twentieth
century. Gone are the dangers
endured by the founders Of the
Nation when they made their
little settlements in land
where roamed the Indians. The
perils of the frontier, where the
blatant life Of the mining towns
was punctuated with the STAG
cato reports of the six-guns, are
no more. The bad men of the
wild and woolly West have
passed. But in the great cities,
East and West, the gunman
holds sway. So widespread
and frequent are his operations
that, in addition to constituting
a crime. they have now been
given legal status as an ordina-
ny hazard to be encountered by
wage earners as well as by en-
ployers. We of these later
days shudder at the barbarity
Of past ages. What will the
historians Of the future say of
the savagery Of the PRESENT.

for School Addition.

A survey of the grounds has been
made, and preliminary plans are
being drawn for the auditorium and
four room addition, which will be
built on the Mill road school. The
next meeting of the Board of Edu
cation is held Tuesday night, when,
in all proba bility. the matter will
again come to the attention Of the

1t is hoped that the addition can
be completed before the start of
school the coming year. The influx
of children in the community makes
the building necessity, school Off

TEXT OF BILLS
AS TO MINING
(By Dispatch A. z. Wirel

LONDON, June 22.-The government
today issued the text of its bills deal
ing WITH the reorganization of the
mining industry. The first bill en-
titled miners industry bill" will be
debated in the house of commons to-
morrow. 1t makes the necessary pro-
visions for voluntary amalgamations
of mining concerns under the aus
pieces of a governmental body, namely
the railway and canal commission, for
more economical operation.
1t gives the same commission the
power to confer to work mineral free
fro mthe restrictions contained in
mining leases, and authorizes the levy
in gof a shilling on the pound on min,
eral royalties, to provide baths and
facilities for drying clothes at the
pits. 1t empowers the ministry of
labor to regulate and restrict recruit
ment to the ranks of the miners and
makes profit sharing schemes law
full.
The second bill, which will come be-
is a permissive measure, allowing the
miners to work eight instead of seven
hours during the next five months.
These measures completely ignore
the important recommendations of the
royal commission ~ state purchase OF
mining royalties and granting munich
palities power over traffic in coal.
