LIEN LABOR in this State and others must adjust itself as best it may to conditions against which its employers have fought a losing fight. The Supreme Court of the United States finds no flaw in the constitutionality of the New York State anti-alien labor law, whi hy declares that only citizens of the United States and preferably resi-} dents of New York shall be employed on public works. | Subway contractors in this city who were found guilty in the! lower courts of violating the law must pay the penalty. In future it will be up to contractors to avoid complications such as that which | held up work on the city's subways Iast winter by taking care to em-! ploy only bona fide citizens, | The claim that the law violates the treaty between the United States and Italy which guarantees citizens of either nation equality of rights in the other is met by Justice McKenna with the decision | that “equality of rights” as mentioned in the treaty means equality “only in respect of protection and security for persons and property.” | Private employers of labor are not expected to make such distinc-, tions. But the State may attach to the spending of public money} conditions that exclude certain wago earners, however worthy, from! receiving it. It rests with the State to say with what measure of mod-| evation it will exert the right. | The highest court of the nation having sanctioned bare set against alien laborers in this direction, one result seems pretty sure to follow. The desirability of fitting himself to become an American! citisen in the minimum period allowed by the law will be speedily impressed upon every alien worker who lands on these shores. a Not to be behindhand in Schreckliohkeit, the Congo contrid- utes cannibalism. | | } | $o—— MOTOR BUS BIDS. ‘ ROLONGED controversy over motor bus routes and franchises , P is teaching the public the value of these privileges to corpora- tions that bid for them. | The exceeding eagerness of the Fill Avenue Coach Company to| keep all new bus service under ite control begins to express itself in . goodly offers of dollars and cents, Over $75,000 a year this company is ready to guarantee the city aa its share of the profits if the com-| pany’ yets the coveted franchise for which it made an unsuccessful bid.

Sho had only appeared on the threshold of the dining room when Charles Soper, king of American swankers, oried aloud: “Hold on! There isn't to be any game unless there ia a kitty for the lady of the house!” “That's right!” chorused the rest. although Mr, Jarr said, “Nonsense!” and Mrs, Jarr protested she would not hear of such a thing, “Yes,” spoke up Jack Silver, “and I move that we increase the limit to a quarter and a quarter chip be taken out of every jackpot for Mra. Jarr. And if we play briskly there will be a kitty big enough to buy something nice for herself and the kiddies for Christmas—especially as It has been decided that the kiddies are not to have what they want—tt's too bad about that!” Mr, Soper expected to win. He could not lose. For if he won he would get cash, and if he lost, he would give a check, which made no difference to Dim. For at this time Mr. Soper was conducting a very interesting finan- cial process known as “kiting checks.” This is done by financiers of his stripe in cashing one’s own checks in various quarters after banking hours to have the ca#h to take to bank early the next morning to satisfy the checks “kited” the day before yester- day. There were murmurs of approval at the swanker's proposition and the game progressed with varying for- tune, "I don't see how you men can play without hardly speaking to each other,” she said finally, “When Mra, Stryver and Clara Mndridge-Smith and I play with other ladies we just talk as much as we play.” A bright idea occurred to the as- tute Mr, Soper. game it would break up all the soon- @r and be was now playing on vel- vet. “Do you mean to say,” he cried, “do you mean to say, Mra, Jarr, that you play poker and we haven't asked you to sit in? Why, tt will just make five, the ideal game, Let each of us stake you with a stack of chips, So you can start in well capitalized, and can't lose!" “Well, just for a little while and then I'll go to bed,” sald Mrs, Jarr, And a hand was dealt her and she bet till she was called on two queens and two jacks, because they were all of the same color—w beautiful shade of red, Mr. Soper had three aces, er 30, M | ing: | ered only with spun silk of a thousand colors. | Cubist’s models and Futurist sunsets. | Pike than in all the made-to-order Merriment of “Gay Gotham.’” |of friendliness and good feeling for With a woman in the| 1915 Sayings of Mrs. Solomon By Helen Rowland Copeeight, 1918, by the Prem Publishing Co, (The New York Wrening World), Y DAUGHTER, consider the Pursuers of Pleasure and Seekers after Mirth, how they JOLLY themselves!
