Nebraska To Limit Hours of Work on Railways Washington Dec l A rouuliuun mumber of tho Nobraska dclgation in j the houso infonnid Tho Stttrs corros jpondcnl today that ho intends within a j very few days to inlroduuu a bill liinit I ing tho numbor of horns tio railroad of tho country may be permitted to work their employes who aro in any way con 1 nectod with tho movement of the trains I Tho particular purpose of this proposed bill so it is stated is to remedy certain undesirable conditions which are declar ed to evist in Nebraska and particular ly in the western part of tho state with reference to the operation of the roads i under the Hill system It is declared that tho undesirable i conditions complained of have arisen i within the last two years and it is fur i ther declared that the conditions have 1 resulted from the efforts of the railroad i ollncials to economize in the operation of the road which policy it is declared I has been put into practice at the cost of the public i TRAIN MEN OVERWORKED I The statement is made on authority considered as the most reliable that in I many instances trainmen in tho state of Nebraska are obliged to work as long as j 30 to 40 hours at a stretch that the em ployes of the road have been protesting vigorously against the long hours of con tinuous labonthat merchants in the var ious towns along the line are complain ing that they experience unusal and un reasonable delay in receiving I dise shipped by freight and that certain other undesirable conditions obtain By limiting the hours of labor of train men to twelve hours daily it is thought that a remedy will be effected for the conditions complained of It is charged that freight consigned to merchants in the western part of the state is delivered to tho railroad by the wholesale houses in Omaha and that it is held there until a sufficient amount has accumulated to make a heavy train load when it is star ted on its wesern journey At Hastings it is declared the freight not distributed at the towns between there and Omaha is held for another period until a heavy train load is on hand when another train ismade up and at snails pace moves on to McCook where another halt is made until another heavy train load of freight has accumulated From this point it is said the slowly moving train continues its western jaunt and so on to Denver ALLEGED DELAYS IN TRAFFIC It is declared that the officials of the road will not send out a train with freight until such a bulk of freight has ac cumulated as will tax an engine to its utmost hauling capacity and this neces sitates the slow movement of the freight train long stops and consequent delajs of great length In addition the policy it is stated requires the trainmen to work long hours at a stretch between distribution points Complaint ismade too that there is not a sufficient number of trains operated The bill which is to be introduced by the Nebraska congressman will give tho inter statecommerco commission author ity to enforce its provisions It is ar gued that if the hours of labor for train men is limited that the railroads will bo obliged to run more trainsiess heavily loaded and that the public and the mer chants will receive their shipments from the wholesale houses more promptly In support of the bill it will be argued that when an engineer or other train men aro obliged to work continuously for twenty or more hours a day that he is not able to perform his work and that the system is a menace to the safety of the public and also to interstate com merce STATE LAW NOT EFFECTIVE Under an old state law of Nebraska it is stated there is provision that train men shall not be nllowed to work more than sixteen hours on a stretch but it is stated there is no provision for the en forcement of tho law excepting that an employe might file information against the road The obstacles to tho enforce ment of the law by this means however is obvious Notwithstanding that tho Nebraska congressman anticipates that tho com bined railroad interests of the country will unite I o oppose the passage of such a bill as ho proposes to introduce yet he declares that the conditions under his immediate observation are so undesirable that he intends to make a strong effort to secure some remedial legislation both in the interests of tho employes and on behalf of the merchants of tho state

Men of Letters Series Not only was he in social intercourse one of the most courteous and sweetest of friends but he was in manner one of the most fascinating and impressive beings whom I ever jnet I have talked with Carlyle and Tennyson with Victor Hugo and MazziuJ with Garibaldi and Gambetta with John Bright and Robert Browning but no one of thes ever impressed me more vividly with a sense of intense person ality with the inexplicable light of genius that seemed to well up spon taneously from heart and brain It remains a psychological puzzle how one who could write with passion and scorn such as Carlyle and Byron never reached who in print was so often Athenasius contra mundum who opened every written assertion with I know was in private life one of the gentlest gayest humblest of men Hove ji Rat Stole Uulbs M do Parville a well known French naturalist told a remarkable story about a rat in the Journal des Debats A gardener planted one afternoon 230 tulip bulbs on a terrace and next morning ho noticed that the ground had been disturbed and that they had all been taken away He was con fident that rats hud done the work and taking a spade he began to dig in the hope of discovering their nest Soon he unearthed a large female rat which he killed and after digging a few more minutes he discovered an underground chamber lined with hay and leaves and connected by a corri dor with two holes which were evi dently used as storehouses for iu them he found the 230 tulip bulbs This was remarkable but more remarkable was the fact that they were neatly ar ranged in two rows and that not one of them had wise injured o v---- i j been gnawed Got It So Miss Black Im disgusted with my dressmaker my new costume doesnt lit a little bit Miss White Well I heard you tell her you
