"GOLD BRICK"
FOR MINERS
Company Store Law Said
to Contain a Flaw.
Hearing Postponed in Order
to Hide the Legislature's
Treachery to the Mine
Workers.
The Dauphin county court decidod
yesterday to postpono the argument In
the store order tax cases, which had
been fixed for today, and which was
intended to test the constitutionality of
the law taxing store orders 25 per cent
of their face value. Counsel for the
merchants of the coal region and the
miners' labor organizations, were pre
sent. These are J. P. O'Brien, of Scran
ton; John M. Carr, of Freeland, and
William Wilhelm, of Pottsville.
Commenting on the above, the Harris
burg correspondent of the North Ameri
can says today:
"The miners, It is believed, have very
little reason to depend on this law, the
purpose of which is to tax the robber
company stores out of existence. It
was reluctantly enacted by the Gang's
legislature when the miners threatened
to send an invading army to the capital
if their measures did not receive con
sideration.
"A 'joker' inserted in the bill by the
Gang before it was passed is said to be
counted upon by the coal corporations,
which conduct the company stores, as
having rendered it unconstitutional.
The machine does not want the cheat
fully revealed, however, until after the
mine workers have cast their ballots.
"Congressman Oluistead, Quayite, of
Ilarrisburg, who appeared before the
senate mines and mining committee in
opposition to the measure, lias instituted
the proceedings in the Dauphin court
to test its constitutionality.
"As a matter of fact, the Gang is not
anxious for a decision before election
day, as it probably would have a bear
ing on the voto in the mine regions."
IMitliidelithlii'x l inlwr Si<l.
. A protracted investigation of the
nether side of Philadelphia, in which
this famous criminologist devoted days
and nights together with trusted friends,
unknown to the police and unrecogniz
ed by tiit "grafters," will be reported in
the Philadelphia Sunday Press, beginn
ing next Sunday, October 13. The facts
are recited coldly, carefully, dispassion
ately, with detail and correctness—
what the thief, the speak-easy pro
prietor and the tramp think of our great
cities and of Philadelphia in particular
from the standpoint of protected graft.
It is a story of stupendous meaning to
every taxpayer and voter in the United
States. In order that you may bo cer
tain of reading it, you had better order
a copy of next Sunday's Press from
your newsdealer in advance.

The Denver Hullillng Trades Council
Is discussing plans for the prevention
of wage troubles such as have occurred
in Denver each May day for several
years. If the contractors agree In ad
vance, tho council will urge each of
the unions affiliated with It to adopt a
scale of wages on Jan. 1 of each year,
to lie effective 011 the succeeding May 1.
Advocates of the Idea assert that tills
would give contractors live months' no
tice und ample time in which to make
estimates for the entire year, with pos
itive knowledge of what the wages in
voked would aggregate. Heretofore
the uncertainty of what wages would
be demanded has hampered those with
work In sight during the first few
months of each year, when 11 great
many contracts for the summer arc
usually placed In contractors' hands
for consideration. The contractors who
•have been seen oil the subject by mem
bers of the council have signified their
approbation of such a system.
I.u.v Favors I.nhor.
It Is not generally known that the
federal statutes contain 11 law favoring
labor unions 111 certain branches of In
dustry. Such a law Is 111 the hooks,
however, and It is one of the most re
cent additions to the federal code.
Itallroad employees arc most inter
ested In this law, which applies to
steam railroads, bridges and ferry
companies. It makes tlie discharge of
any railroad for membership la a labor
union a misdemeanor.
Many lawyers are not aware of the
existence of the statute. William 1..
Morsey, assistant United States dis
trict attorney, said, in looking up the
section for The Post-Dispatch, that,
while it had not been purposely con
cealed, the law was as yet unfamiliar
to the majority of lawyers. It was
passed In IS!)".
The union labor law Is contained in
section 10 of chapter 270, Revised Stat
utes.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Girl. With a TtvnnHT Are Ilnrred.
When girls nre chosen for the gov

cance before the physiological test. No
girl will be employed If she be below 5
feet 2 Inches high in her stocking soles.
She must possess good hearing, have,
no defect of speech and must be tested
by viva voce examination, in which
particular attention is "to bo paid to
articulation, pitch of voice and general
self possession. Any candidate show
ing any indication of nervousness, hys
teria, want of self possession or a
strongly marked twang shall he re
jected. The majority will probably
pass In self possession, but dialect Is 11
severe test."—Loudon Express.
