SOUREIFR.R. “LAWS HELD VOID No Sporadic Disturbances Yet, but Men Determined to Have Eight-Hour Day. How can the masher tell a Secret - Service - Siren ? No sporadic strike of any kind on) any railroad invoived in the Brother-' hoods dispute was reported to-day to! the National Conference of Railway at the Grand Central Station. | Elisha Leo, chairman of the mana- | gere, sald: “So far there does seem to have been any extreme move ments. I feel now that the men will patiently await the decision of the United States Supreme Court.” In the event of an unfavorable rul- ing, it was said to-day there would be no further parieying on the part of the Brotherhoods. “The railroads are fooling them- selves if they imagine the danger of ® general strike has been passed, said FE. H. Slattery, of the Vire to-day. “The men have been prom ised the eight-hour day If they don't get it it is quite natural to ex pect a general disturbance.” —— HEARING ON LAW.

By Nixola Greeley-Smith. kvery homely woman in New York knows that if a girl goes along minding her own business no man will address a disrespectful word to her; every female creature with a free-verse face is sure that she can sit from 6 to midnight in the lobby of any hotel in this town without fear of molestation by the marauding male. Every complacent gargoyle I have ever known has told me that the masher is a myth, a phantom cre- ated by the super-heated imagination and the inflated vanity of “pink cheeked nonentitie: Of course they are right. Nevertheless, the Wal- dorf-Astoria Hotel undertook yesterday to protect its women patrons from the unsought attentions of prowl- ing strangers by adding a corps of young and pretty women to its secret service staff to act as lightning, rods for the masher’s assiduities.

Dillon, State Commis sioner of Foods end Markets, Mr. Dillon declared that the committee was “either lamentably ignorant of city conditions or wanting in candor in its information to the Governor.” ! Mr. Dillon says that the whole scheme of the committee for State and city marketing will be fought in the Legislature by up-State farmers. “The scheme will not work,” said the Com- missioner. “If it did, the next Gov- ernor of New York State would be @ farmer. ‘The politician had better take a lesson from North Dakota.” “The sald Mr. Dillon at, the outset, “is probably as good an| excuse for the proposed ripper legisia- tion as could be expected.
