VOICE OF
PEOPLE
The factory act of Great Britain contains a provision that women and girl employes must be allowed a certain and stipulated time for meals. Union labor of Cleveland will aid state officers in their campaign to compel manufacturers to report all accidents to workmen to the state factory inspector. The International Printing Pressmen and Assistants' Union of North America recently formally dedicated its home for superannuates, erected at Hale Springs, Tenn. The congress of textile operatives held at Amsterdam recently, unanimously adopted a resolution In favor of eight hours work in all the textile mills In all countries. W. G. Lee, president of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, in his annual report certifies to the fact that the increase in wages of the trainmen in the United States in the year 1910 amounted to $37,000,000. An eight hour working day for la

has Introduced.
At the next annual convention of the United Mine Workers of America, to be held at Indianapolis next January, a special conprnittee will submit its re

be made the permanent headquarters of the union. The number of trade d'.sputes reported to have been in existence In Canada durinf May was thirty-four, an Increase of twenty compared with May, 1310. About 212 firms and 13,000 employes were involved in these disputes, 189 firms and 4,038 employes having been involved in new disputes. The loss of time through these disputes Is estimated at 299,400 working days, compared with a loss of 202,275 days in April, and of 71.S30 day3 in May, 1910.

If you could isolate excessively ner
vous people as we do scarlet fever or
diptheria or small pox patients, we should have a happier and more efficient world.
That the conclusion to which grow
ing realisation of the contagion of nerves has driven me.
There is a widow in our town wh-
earns her living by "accomodating."
This woman has the most nervous
energy of any person I ever knew. She simply flies from one task to another and is never happy unless she is rush
ing. Unkind rumor has it that her temperament had something to do wlh
the untimely death of her late lament
ed, but I don't know about that. Re
cently she was recommended to a
friends of mine whose broken health made it Imperative that she have som-j trustworthy and capable person to help her about her house. "Apparently Mrs. R. was just the person. Actually my friend endured her Just a week. "If I should live with that woman a month I'd be in the hospital," she explained to met later. "I never was more, tired in my life than at the end
of the week she was here. Yes, she did all the housework and more, but honestly it made me more tired to have her In my house with me than it woull to do everything myself. Why it works me up Just to be In the room with her. I think she actually radiates nerves. You know I'm a good sleeper usually, but she had me so worked up that I woke up at half past four or
five all the time .she was with me. I know she thinks I'm ungrateful for all the work she did, but I simply couldn't stand it another day." That's one example of the contagion of nerves. "Here's another: A livery stable keeper Just yesterday, was bewailing the fact that his best saddle horse had been hurt in a runaway. "Had that horse for ten years and

the trouble was. Miss Cameron. It
wasn't that the duffer didn't kr.ow how to ride. He's taken dozens of lessons.
It was just because he was so darned nervous that he worked that horse all up."
Molly, the little stenographer lady also had an unconscious contribution to make to his subject. She came home the other night completely tired out. "Tired T said she In answer to our sympathetic queries. "Not anything so mild as that. Just half dead. You see Mr. A. dictated to me two hours steadily this afternoon. No that's not terribly long time, but didn't I ever
tell you about him? Why he is the bete-noir of the office. We'd rather take any man's dictation all the morning than his for an hour. No, he doesn't dictate so terribly fast. It's Just that he's so horribly nervous and keyed up, and In a hurry inside that he makes everybody he talks to feel nervous and on a tension. Borne of the through dictating to them. Of course
I don't do that, but I always make four
times as many mistakes with him as I
do with anyone else, and I'm limp as a rag when he gets through."
But the best example of the contagion of nerves, it seems to me, is in' regard to the telephone. When the telephone rings very quickly, I arh pretty sure one of two things Is true. Either some chronically nervous, impatient person is calling, or someone made, nervous and Impatient by delay or difficulty in getting me. If on answering the telephone I find the first Isn't the case, I always ask about the second, and in nlno casts out of ten, find my supposition correct. Try this some day. You'll find it an interesting experiment and I'm sure you'll be convinced. If you aren't already, of the deadly contagion of nerves.

govneror of Indiana, the Marion Chronicle says: Larue was a professional yegg. He had no residence in Indiana. He had been in several reformatories and penitentiaries for burglary. He slipped into Lake county from Chicago and pulled off a Job at Hammond. He was caught and sent to the reformatory at Jefferson before his full record had been discovered. He was twice caught by the reformatory officers trying to slip out notes for maili lng to members of his band of yeggs telling how to proceed to get him a pardon. Possibly those notes are still in the reformatory
records, in which case it may be discovered what method Larue sug- y
gested. To the great astonishment of the reformatory officials a man walked into the Institution a few weeks after the second attempt and laid down a full and unconditional pardon for Larue. The people of Lake county had not been consulted. They were as indignant as the people of this locality a few months ago when it was discovered that Governor Marshall had pardoned a wife murderer without making inquiry of anyone in the neighborhood from which the slayer was sent for life for a peculiary atrocious crime. Who was Larue's attorney? What Justification appears of record for turning loose this professional yegg and member of a powerful organization of burglars? Was it In the act of a good Samaritan? Was mercy the motive? It is not the only case of the kind. The Sun may depend on it that the light of day will stream on this and other transactions of the present state administration before it has reached its end, and possibly the people will find out the real inwardness of the conspiracy of silence by which Governor Marshall has been protected In the whole Jail delivery he has been conducting since the beginning of his service as governor.

ANOTHER REMONSTRANCE. East Chicago. Ind., July 3.
Editor Times:
Dear Sir: I wish to call your atten
tion to the article in the Hammonds
News entitled "Hammond Players De
mand Justice." The arictle Is palpably
unfair and partisiaft and the writer
shows his utter ignorance of the topic
he writes about. In speaking of the
Hascall-Fowler affair le says "Hascall
is known all over the county as a dirty ball player. This Is his reputation ln basket ball, foot ball, and now baseball." This Hascall has never played basket ball or foot ball and as to his county-wide reputation for dirty ball reputation, this is his first season in baseball around this "country. In speaking of the other play he says that the East Chicago player went out of his way to make Fowler drop the ball. Again he shows his ignorance by saying that a base runner would at. tempt such a move, which would only cause the base runner to be called out.
The next incident with Bud Evans at Whiting. The writer again is Ignorant of the facts. The Whiting man was
Kluth and the umpire who had the authority to bar the player was White a Hammond man.
Further the writer states "at a Whit
ing-East Chicago game the ball playej-s of East Chicago ended the game by a resort to baseball bats with which Umpire White was threatened. The East Chicago team ended th game with ball
bats by hittings Evans' curves hard enough to win. Did you ever hear of a team ending a game with baseball bats againt. an umpire?
Again I quote, "The Hammond cap
tain who knows more ball-than ninetenths of the players in the league and
all the officials put together." There

EER ROMANCE. j All her life since she was fifteen j Rose Robinson of St. Louis has been ; a "factory girl." When work is steady, ; 6he told a reporter, she makes $0.00 I a week. She pays $1 a week for a j room and but little more than that for
food. Out of her savings she bad accumulated about ten years ago $1,000, which seems marvelous. Then she put her money In a building and loan association. It failed, and she lost the entire amount. Despite tke loss of her bard earned savings. Rose Robinson began Again to put money In the savings banks. She now has something more than $900. Long continued toil at meager wages and pinching economy are nothing new In the annuls of labor operatives, and In this respect Rose Robinson Is not different from others. She has saved more money than most of such workers, and But listen. "It was my wish as a young woman." she says, "to have a little girl of my own. But it was not meant that my wish should be gratified, for no man has asked me to marry him." Though disappointed and childless, this hardworking woman decided to save her money for "some baby" to be selected after her death by the Christian Missionary society. Listen again. "Whenever I put a dollar away I would say to myself, 'There is a pair of shoes for Rosy. or. 'There's a book for ber. That made it ensy, and I was surprised to fiud how much I could save." That is Rose Robinson's romance.
Denied what women most desire, her life has flowered into a sweet devotion ;
to some future "Rosy" whom she will never see. ner friends say she is the happiest woman tbey know. They say she has
a sweet face, no uoubt or it. in tne face of such a woman there must be winsomeness and the softening lines that come from submission to Frovldence and devotion to a high purpose. Giving makes her happy. She has given even more than the widow who, as the Master stood over against the treasury, cast in her mite. She has given infinitely more than the rich givers of our modern day. She has given herself !

Why is it that the official umpires of this league had received an official
