Horoscope "The stars incline
 but do not compel"
SATURDAY, MAY 28, 1888

Conflicting planetary aspects are discovered in the horoscope for to- day which should be fairly fortu nate, especially for industry.
 The stars seem to presage a vic- tory for workers and salutary chang es in working conditions, especially at Atlantic and Pacific harbors.
 Unrest and anxiety may be pre- valent under this planetary govern ment which closes a week in which the groundwork for events of future importance was laid by statesmen of two nations.
 Women are subject to adverse sway today and may find many irri- tating and disappointing incidents interfering with plans. The wise will seek outdoor recreations.
 This is an ill-omened day for fir tations. Sudden romances may lead to quick disillusionment.
 College students are not well dl- rected under this rule which tends to increase egotism and stubborn ness where opinions are concerned Girls may be less aggressive but not less vain than young men.
 Again the seers point to the alarming tendency toward individu- alism and selfishness among per- sons of all ages. Greed for power and recognition will be marifest- ed strongly
 Both men and women are warned against too emphatic expression of opinion Many libel suits are fore cast
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of emotional upheavals. Romance will cause ulti- mate happiness to many young folk; older women may be inclined toward coquetry.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be original in their ideas, resourceful and inventive Subjects of this sign are difficult to lead as they are generally extremely inde- pendent.
 Jean Louis Rudolphe Agassiz, fam ous naturalist, was born on this day 1907 Others who have celebrated it as a birthday include Sir William Pitt, British statesman, 1759; Gen. eral Pierre Gustave Beauregard Confederate general 1818

THE WAGE AND HOUR BILL

The Norton Wages and Hours bill has passed the House by top-heavy vote of 314 to 97 and gone to the Senate indicating its probable passage at this question how many workers will be effected by it but from estimates furnished Congress several months ago by the Department of Labor it will be around two million.
 The wage and hour bill would not apply to all industry. Only those industries producing goods nov there are certain exceptions even then. Exemption would be made for persons employed in local retail establishments; outside salesmen; those engaged in taking fish, seafood and sponges; those engaged in agriculture; and certain marginal" employees for whom the Secretary of Labor would be empowered to make special regulations. These marginal poyees those too old for regular employment. or having infirmtes rendering them unfit ordinary employment
 The bill provides that for the first year the mini wage in affected industries shall be 25 for the next year, 30 cents for the year after that 35 cents; for the following year 40 cents at which level it is to remain unless changed by further statute
 As to the work week, the bill provides for A hours as the maximum during the first year: 42 hours the second year and 40 hours the third and succeeding years.
 Thus, under the measure, fresh numbers of workers would be affected year after year until the Accent 40-hour level is attained. Some observers place the number to be affected by the wage provisions the first year at about million Not until three years would the two million estimated by the Labor De-

 No action of the Supreme Court could have been more disconcerting to Republic Steel and to Henry Ford than the decision handed down in the Mackay Radio case
 In a concerted drive, the conservative press and the attorneys for Republic and Ford have been attack ing the National Labor Relations Board procedure as unfair.
 The Supreme Court rules that standard Ma tional Labor Relations Board procedure is perfectly fair and proper On the very points raised by Ford and Republic
 They still pay off on the Supreme Court This is a bad day for enemies of the Wagner Act and the Labor Board.

 According to the Bureaus figures, industries-or large parts of them-whch would at once be greatly affected by the hours provisions of the bill would be the butter flour, ice and eottonseed processing industries which have been working their employees the average from 45 hours in the of the flour mills to 497 hours in the ice cream industry.
 As for the 40-hour level which under the wage and hour bill would become the maximum beginning with the third year practically all industries upon which the Labor Bureau reported working their employees that long or longer, on the average.

THE ideal location for the out

jacent to the living rooms of the
home. Screening for the country
living-room is most practical. and
the room should open out into the
