COURT SUSTMNS
TEHOMTIITE
Highest Tribunal Dismisses
Petition of Danville Knit
ting Mills.
FINES IMPOSED HELD
TO BE PROPERLY LEVIED
Sentence of Police Court Against
the Manufacturing Company
Sustained. Fruitless Fight
to Amend Law.
Ten hours' work constitutes a day’s
labor In Virginia.
Although this point has been con
tested for many months by the Dan
ville Knitting Mills, the Supreme
Court of Appeals has decided the mat
ter, and it Is not anticipated that
Commissioner of Labor Doherty will
experience any further difficulty In
enforcing the law.
Although the labor laws were pass
ed In 18S0, they were not enforced
rigidly until 1906, when all mills
and factory owners were warned that
tea hours' work was all that could
be exacted of a man, woman or child,
although certain exceptions ' were
made for men. The latter are allow
ed to work overtime, or double shift
for double- compensation, -bwt In -the
cases of women and children, thous
ands of whom are employed In the
knitting and cotton mills, aud tobac
co and shoe factories and other man
ufacturing plants in the State, more
than ten hours' work Is prohibited
by law.
Proceed Against Mill Owners.
On September 24, 180», Commis
sioner of Labor Doherty swore out
a warrant for the officials of the
Danville Knitting Mills, alleging two
violations of the labor laws, consist
ing of working a woman and a child
ten and a half hours. The mill own
ers stubbornly resisted the case. They
pleaded not guilty to the charge of
violating the law, and in their re
ply declared that while they required
ten and a half hours' work on five
days a week, they deducted the five
added half hours from Saturday's
work, and made the labors on that
day two hours and a half shorter.
After a long-drawn-out fight the Po
lice Court of Danville imposed a fine
of 12.60 in each of the two cases,
making the total flnss 11, the mini
mum penalty under the law. The
company appealed to the Corpora
tion Court, which sustained the Po
lice Court.
A petition for an appeal was filed
with the Supreme Court of Appeals
of the State last December. The pe
tition was dismissed by the court
Mondsy afternoon. and the case
stands Anally adjudicated against the
Danville Knitting Mills and In fa cor
of the ten-hour labor law as 1t Is
written on the law books
Wanted Special I.aw Passed.
The dismisaal of the knitting mills'
petition for appeal recalled to Com
missioner of Labor Dohertys mind
the Kdmonaon bill, which was Intro
duced lu the Senate by the Halifax
soloti. looking toward the legalisa
tion of a work day of ten and a haif
hours, it Is understood that this bit!
was introduced at the Instigation of
the Danville Knitting Mills, which
sought U> legalise an act for which
It had already been punished by the
Police Court.
Comm wsioacr at La her Doherty and
hundreds of women from all over the
State fought the bill hard. It pro
vided -that in Instances where the wo
men and children employed in mills
or factories wished to work ten and
a half hours a day they might, be al
lowed to do so, provided they were
not worked more than 66 hours n
week and were given half holiday on
Saturday. The opposition to the Ed
monson hill was so strong that the
measure amending the labor laws
never reported from the eommi'.tee
to which It was referred
The Ten-Hour law.
The section of the law which th"
Edmonson bill sought to amend fol
lows:
"Sec. 26i7b. To regulate fhe
hours of labor In factories where
females and children under four
teen years of age are employed as
operatives.
No female and no child under
fourteen years of age shall work
as an operative In any factory or
in any manufacturing establish
ment in this State more than ten
hours In any one daf of twenty
four hours. All contracts made
or to be made for the employment
of any female, or of any child
•nder fourteen years of age. as
an operative In any factory or
manufacturing establishment to
work more than ten hours In any
one day of twenty-four hours are
and shall be void.
“Any person having the author
ity to contract for the employ
ment of persons as operatives in
any factory or manufacturing es
tablishment. who shall engage or
contract with any female or any
child under fourteen years of age
to work as an operative In such
factory or manufacturing estab
lishment during more than ten
hours in any one day of twenty
four hours, shall be guilty of a
misdemeanor, and be fined not
leas than five nor more than twen
ty dollars.''
Although advocates of the Edmon
son amendment to the law repeatedly
asserted that the women and chil
dren were heartily in favor of work
ing ten and a half hours a day, so
as to have half holiday on Saturday,
It was noticed that no representative
of the working people appeared to
champion the measure. On the other
hand, the labor representatives In the
Senate and House vigorously oppose!
it.

HOL/AS PROMISES BROKEN
i Charges President With''Concern
for Rich at Expense of
Starving Poor.
WASHINGTON. March 22.—De
claring that th4 insurgents who voted
against the resolution to oust Cannon
from the speakership had been "whip
ped into line” and charging Congress
asm the administration with failure
to keep the platform pledges of the
republican party. Representative A.
Mitchell Palmer (democrat. Pennsyl
vania) to-day delivered a peppery
speech in tne House, during the gen
eral debate on the pension appro
priation bill.
I "Now that the Insurgents have been
; whipped Into line by the successful
! use of the most gigantic bluff in the
j history of this body.-” Palmer said.
• the men of independent thought and
; action have been corraled into the
1 party caucus and made to promise to
I be good. And what has become of
' the pledges of the republican plat
form The President's legislative pro
| giant started out bravsty—hr "redeem
i the party promises and to carry out
! the policies w hlch prevailed In the
| elections of 1»08, but one after an
j other we see the items of this pro
1 gram go down before the Insidious
I assaults of the system which now.
| unfortunately, controls the executive
! as well as the legislative branch of
! this government.
"We have witnessed the spectacle of
! the greatest friend that conserva
! tlon ever had being hurled out from
the councils of the administration be
cause he was ever zealous In his sup
port of the cause to which he de
voted his life. We have seen the same
faithful public servant hauled into
court before a congressional Investi
gating committee as a co-defendant
1 with the man who Is recognized by
j the people as an enemy of the policy
which he personifies And we read in
the public press that the President
has abandoned all but one of his con
servation bills and even the remnant Is
not longer seriously considered by
those in authority here.
Promises Broken.
"W# see the postal savings bank bill
I amended with the apparent approval
‘ of the administration in the interests
of ihe great money centres of the
| country, so that no man w ho depre
j cates the growing strength of the
money power can give it support. We
find the Alaskan government bill a
i derelict on the high seas of legisla
tion. We witness the passing of the
f Federal Incorporation plan until a
more convenient season, and even
I Statehood for Arizona and New Mex
ico Is commonly reported to be about
: to walk the plank which leads to ob
livion: while the President's proposal
: to amend the Sherman anti-trust acts
1 has gone the way of alt republican
-j promises, into the realms of ancient
history.
"Every one of these measures was
• promised by the. Republican platform
i of 11*0* or originated with and was
supported by the greatest Insurgent of
(hem all—the men who taught the ln
: surgents how to Insurge; the man
Who walked off the Republican reser
vation »t«h the greatest disregard of
' results: the man who was responsible
1 more than any other cause, or all
other causes, for the present chief ex
ecutive: the man who left as a legacy
to the Incoming administration the un
finished program which the Republi
(can party In its platform promised to
complete.''
Scores President.
Discussing President Taft's recent
' speeches on the tariff. Mr. Palmer said:
"If president Taft had been one-half
os anxious to save the pennies of Ihe
workingman by givpig him cheaper
cotton goods as he was to save the dol
lars of the Steel trust by dumping into
i its mills Ita raw materials at much re
j diicvd epense, hie name would have
l been enshrined In the hearts of the
poor as his praises are now sung In the
count lug houses of protected wealth.
"He might have won the grateful
plaudits of the home-bulldlng and the
home-loving artisans of the country If
' he had not purchased his vaunted but
i Insignificant reduction In the tariff ett
| lumber at the price of trade war with
I i'anda. now all to imminent, which Is
I liable to spring into operation the max
imum rate provided in the law and
i Increase the tariff on lumber products
! by 100 per cent. But In that even he
would have won the undying hatred of
I ihe powerful lumber combine In the
j great Northwest.
"If he had given thought to the mil
: lions of shivering poor, who must now
pay from one-third to one-half more
i for the clothes and blankets and all
1 the other woolen goods which protect
them from the ley blasts of winter, his
party would have lost the generous

i No Hope of Settlement Between
Philadelphia Carmen and
Employers.
| GOVERNOR MAY INTERVENE
: Labor Leaders Plan Meeting to
Discuss Strengthening of
Sympathetic Strike.
PHILADELPHIA, March 22.—
' With both (idea hopelessly deadlocked
j negotiations looking to a settlement
! of the differences' between the Phil
adelphia Kapid Transit Company and
< the striking employes have been
i abandoned and interest shifted to the
I possibility of the calling of a State
wide strike by labor leaders now gath
ered at Wilkesbarre. Participants In
[the numerous ‘peace” conferences to
‘ day declared themselves as utterly
distrusted for they see no way of
breaking down the “stand pat” and
, “fight-to-the-flnlsh” attitude that both
: sides have taken.
There were vague hints at the car
men's headquarters and political cir
cles to-day of the possibility of Gov
ernor Stuart intervening in the con
troversy. The State executive who left
here for Harrisburg last night would
not commit himself, but seemed great
ly perturbed over the unsatisfactory
termination of the peace negotia
tions._
i-abor leaders conducting the strike
i here will meet with the presidents
j of all local unions this afternoon to
devise ways and means to keep the
sympathetic strike here from break
ing. It is declared there, will be on
attempt by certain of tbe leaders to
'force a settlement upon the basis of
the terms offered by the company. The
fight is declared to have become com
plicated by dissensions in Us man
agement. It is intimated that the
Feeney faction, aligned with W. D.
Mahon, president of the National
Amalgamated Association, urge the
acceptance of the oompany's proposi
tion. while opposed to it stand Leader
j Pratt and his following.
! SETTLEMENT RUMORS
IN RAILROAD STRIKE
1 CHICAGO. March 22.—Firemen on
forty-nine Western railroads will not
strike, according to railroad officials
, here to-day. following the announce
! ment that Charles P. Neill, Federal
i mediator under thn Erdman law, had
made a definite settlement proposition
i to the firemen's brotherhood and the
' railroads.
, It Is understood Mr. Neill s plan fur
nishes a basis of settlement of the
seniority and representation working
rules over which the two sides dis
agreed.
It is said to Involve a separation
of the question of wages from the
j dispute over the two working rule#,
, and possibly a separate arbitration of
the subjects.
Whatever the terms of Nell’s prop
osition. it is apparently satisfactory to
the railroad general managers.
The firemen are also said to have
accepted the proposition tentatively
Immediately after a conference with
the firemen, Nelli conferred with the
general managers late last night and
went lijjo session with the firemen
again early to-day.
Peace still hangs by a thread, how
ever. as the final rejection of ‘Kelll'i
proposition by either aide, it is feared
! would mean that the mediator would
withdraw enttridy from the 'negotia
tions and a strike affecting ever}’ rail
road tn the South and West would
follow.

WILKESBARRE, PA , March 22 —
To decide whether or not union work

mittee of the State Federation of La
bor Is in session here this after
noon.
President Greenawalt. of Lancas
ter. Pa., presided at the meeting W>
day. when the vote from the varioui
labor unions was recorded. Although
no statement was given from the ex
ecutive committee, it reported thai
the vote against a State-wide *irlk-:
was vary close, and it would require
a count from every local to deter
mine whether or not the men sh*l
go out March 26.
The big surprise to the exe« u:iv*
I council to-day was the declaration ol
prominent ngtne workers that if a
State-wide strike be callled, the min
ers will not respond, as by so doin(
they would break the contract wtalek
they signed with the operators, thui
placing them in a most unfavorabh
position. As at least BO,000 mim
workers are iftstted by this decision
their remaining at work would hamp

President Greenawalt said this af
ternoon: “If a State-wide strike li
called, it will be called pretty

to ”stey out” until their demands were

There seems to be a great deal ol

statement published Monday to the
Effect that the proprietors of the Cot
trell Saddlery Company did not know
directly that the strike had been
called until the time came, for the
walkout Monday morning, Mr. F. W.
! Fehlder, one of the officers of the
union, claims that notice was served
on the company several weeks In ad
vance. Mr. Fehlder stated Tuesday,
that together with John A. Miller and
A. It. Cass, composing a committee
appointed by the union, he waited on
Mr. Sharp and the other members ol
the firm on Feb. 16 and presented a
written request from the headquarter!
I In Kansas City demanding an eight
hour working day. The firm. It 1«

quest and further refused to recog

paper stated that the union men
would wait until March 1 for an tin

agreed to a strike would be called or
March 21. "On March L" stated Mr
Fehlder. "I again saw th* manager ol

for an early settlement through th<

The Colts have their first game of
baseball Tuesday afternoon, the con
test being between two teams made
up out of the squad. Enough men
are now on hand to make up two
teams by adding a few of the sev
eral players of other league teams
who are warming up at the local park.
Manager Lawlor calls his two teams
the Dandylion Clippers and Daisy
Mowers. They meet in a five inning
game at the pdrk and the crowd of
, fan* who witnessed the morning prac
, tire will again flock to the park this
i afternoon to see the Colts in real
I action.
Morning Practice.
Many of the men were sore In
every muscle and Joint from their
hard workout on Monday and it was
some time before they were in work
ing condition Tuesday. Landgraff,
who had taken practically no exercise
during the winter and who worked
hard Monday, was so stiff and sore as
to hardly be able to get around. He
gradually worked the soreness out,
however, and was in good trim when
he finished the morning practice.
Brown, Deeker and Irvine, an of
whom worked hard Monday did not
seem to be In bad shape and soon
worked out.
Twlrlers Warming Vp.
Hale, Archerand Jackson, the later
arrivals among the twlrlers, had a
good warming up and all seem to be
In good form. Manager Lawlor
watched them closely and expressed
himself as being well pleased with
their respective performances. Ke
velle, Waymack* Brooks and Verbout
again worked out and show the same
good form that they have displayed
since coming. Verbout’s heavy work
Monday helped him considerably and
to-day he let himself out and put them
over at top speed.
Fast Fielding Practice.
Much of the time in the Tuesday
morning practice was spent, as on
Monday, In batting the ball and run
ning the bases. After an hour or so
of this work. Manager Lawlor put
the men In the field and they en
gaged In fifteen minutes of fast field
ing work. Landgraff, Decker and
Brown awain showed up well, and
Baker, who was not out with the
squad Monday, made his first appear
ance. He at once captured all the
fans present, and it was freely pre
dicted at the park that he will be a
favorite this season. Baker has a
! strong arm. his throw is quick and
| snappy, and best of all. accurate. Al
; though small in statue, he is full of
; life and covers all the territory
around his position. He goes aftei
| all kinds and never seems to avoid
| accepting a chance. Manager Law
ior said that he Is well pleased with
Baker, and thinks that the new mar
made a wonderful showing for hii
first time out. Baker Is not at hit
best on account or his recent sick
ness: when he recovers sufficiently
from this and gets more practice, II
may be expected that he will give
! the fans an exhibition of fast field
ing work. If he proves good with
j the stick the chances sre that he
1 will land his position._
Tiutian Not Out.
i Although Titman arrived Monday
' night, he did not appear at the park
, for the morning practice. Hits, how

BUI II IS COMING
Local Dealers Expect Price of
Meats To Go Up Here as
Elsewhere.
Meat dealers of Richmond have not ;
: yet felt the effects of the recent raise !
of prices that has been made in New *
York. No surprise is occasioned by \
the report, however, and the impres- |
sion prevails among local meat men i
I that a raise in the prices may be ex- '
pected at almost any moment.
Several of the most prominent re
i tallers at the Sixth Street Market said
Tuesday that there has been no raise '
| here within the past few days, but
j that they would not be at all si#-prlsod ■
j to see it soon. Some of them said
that they were looking for it. They j
| say that if the wholesalers go up, they
will have to do likewise. Home-killed
, beef, they say, is even now higher
• than Western beef, and there is no '
chance that the local market will hot
t be affected if the Western prices go
; up.
The large wholesale houses of Rtch
| piond say that their prices to the re
| tail dealers will, as always, depend
| upon the Western pricer. They han
I die only Western beef, and their prices
; fluctuate as do those for Western beef
i alt over the country. It was stated
j at the office of Kingan & Co. Tues
1 day that there had been a raise of 1
j cent per pound in the price of beef
! In Richmond within the last two
! weeks. They would not say if the
local consumers may expect another
raise soon.

of Virginia was issued to the American
