Stubig Calls Upon Citizens to Oppose City Manager Form

Contending that the city manager form of government does not eradicate the evils generally pointed out in the present system, and that in practice it generally proves even more subject to "boss" rule and the prevalence of graft, Carl H. Stubig. ex-commissioner of Sandusky, O., urged the citizens of Richmond to vote against the adoption: of a city manager form of government for Richmond in his speech at the high school auditorium Monday night. Mr. Stubig waa brought to Richmond under1 the auspices of the anti-city-manager organization. Mr. Stubig stated that the city manager form of municipal government had been a failure in virtually all the Ohio cities where it bad been tried, and especially so in Sandusky, Akron and Dayton. He said that in five of the 12 cities in Ohio that had adopted the plan efforts were being made to change their charters in order that they might return to the old mayor and council form. Speaks of Sandusky. The speaker dealt particularly with conditions in Sandusky. He stated that there had been 12 commissioners and three city managers sinc the plan was inaugurated there six years ago. He stated that the work of government was carried on by three of the five commissioners elected, that they met in secret sessions previous to the public meetings and had all the resolutions and ordinances ready to be voted upon without discussion. He stated that his resignation from the commission was in the form of a protest against this kind of government. Many specific instances of poor government in Sandusky were referred to by Mr. Stubig as the result of the city manager plan. Iouis S.

Announcement of a change in the rate of discount of the bank of England, such as the recent reduction from seven to six and one-half per cent, is an impressive affair. Not one of the many hundreds of the staff of the bank of England itself knows of the change until the actual announcement is posted .except those with governor inside "the parlor" where the directors of the bank and leading men of other banks and institutions are gathered to deliberate on the momentous decision which affects all parts of the world Vest Names Official. When these deliberations are concluded, a gorgeously attired messenger commonly known in the city as the "Bank Canary" because of his scarlet coat and yellow waiscoat, stalks out of the parlor with deliberate slowness in accordance with ancient custom, carrying a big sheet of paper in a glass frame on which are the magic words. "6 per cent" Hundreds of banker's clerks, messengers and newspaper men, who have been thronging the passages, push forward to read the notice, which the messenger deliberately keeps face away from the crowd until he has affixed it to the wall. Then there is a scramble for offices, telegraph, telephone booths and cable offices while press agency representatives wigwag the new rate which is immediately flashed throughout the world. DIVORCE EVIL SHOWS INCREASE IN LONDON fBy Associated Press) -LONDON. May 24. Divorces are increasing at a great rate here, and so, too, according to Judge Darling, are the "shyster methods," as they are sometimes termed in America, whereby some divorces are obtained. Judge Darling is one of -the veterans of the bench who has Just recently had to tackle divorce cases, in addition to his regular judicial work, in order to cope with the growing demand for the untying of nuptial knots. "We know perfectly well that -an enormous proportion of the undefended cases in the divorce court are merely collusive," said Judge Darling. "Men know as well as I do that those letters 'My dear Billy, do return to your loving Kitty,' are composed in solicitor's offices. Everybody knows it, only it is presumed that the judge in the divorce court does not. Of course, he does. "Judges who had retired are dragged back instead of being able to enjoy their old age in comfort because there are not enough judges to deal with these cases. And what wonder, when people can come into the divorce court and treat it in this fashion?" He added that what people looked for most in the newspapers were the likenesses of every adulterer who could be snapshotted coming out of the courts. HONOR ANNIVERSARY OF HENRY W.

CHILD LABOR LAWS DIFFERENT IN STATES The legal standards adopted by the various states to protect children from hazards of too early employment are shown by a chart recently issued by the United States department of labor through the children's bureau. In all except four states the minimum age for work, at least in factories and often in many other employments, is placed as high as 14 years, and seven states have an age minimum of 15 or 16 years. Exemptions exist in most of these states, but they apply in many cases to children employed outside school hours or during vacations. Twenty-nine states have recognized the eight-hour day standard for children under 16 by prohibiting them from working longer hours in certain occupations or by extending this prohibition to all gainful employments, usually, however, exempting housework and work on farms. Of the other states, nearly half limit the working hours in the regulated occupations to 54 or less a week. The 11-hour day still exists in two states, with a weekly maximum of 60 hours. Fortyone states have some prohibition of night work applying to children under 16, and of these 17 prohibit such work without exemptions, expt in some cases for agricultural pursuits and domestic service. Eighteen states, including some of the principal industrial cities, require a child under 16 to have a physician's certificate of physical fitness before he can obtain an employment certificate, and 10 others permit the certificate-issuing officer to Impose this requirement in his discretion. ' For work in mines the general minimum age standard is 16, but 10 states still permit the employment of boys 14 years of age, and six have no minimum age for such work. The chart is compiled from the laws in force in the various states January 1, 1921. CHURCH WORKERS 3F LYNN DISCUSS PLANS LYNN, Ind., May 24.
