ARGUMENTS ON

Washington, Dec. 4.—It is regard-
ed as likely by officials of the depart-
ment of . justice that December 18,
Monday, will be the day set for argu-
ments in the test of the Adamson
eight-hour law before the United
States supreme court’ f •
Preparations were completed Sat-
urday for. appearance of representa-
tives of the department - before the
court today in a motion to advance
the case for early hearing. As the
court adjourns December 22 for the
Christmas holidays, not to recon-
vene until after New Year’s, it was
said today that the Monday preced-
ing adjournment probably would be
suggested by the attorneys. Accord-
ing to precedent the. court doubtless
will follow the suggestion lu setting
the hearing. -

few days ago, who was hopping mA.
He said he had a trade just about
framed up, wnen another man .in the
same line of business got hold of his
customer, and knocked the proposi-

There Is what is known as ethics

by othens in the same line he was in,
and that as a rule each helped the
other fellow in any trade they were
trying to put over; but that this man
had more than once knocked a trade
for him. He is regarded by his com-
petitors as a sort of pirate; one who
disregards all the rules, and who at-
tempts to grab the good things for
himself, even if he has to knock the
other fellow. (

Minnesota Suffragists plan Fight
- ~ (Special to The* Herald.)
Minneapolis, Minn„ Dec. ,4.—The
annual meeting of the Minnesota
Women Suffrage Association, which
began a two-day session in this city
today, is expected to decide the legis-
lative program which the suffragists
will support before the session of the
legislature beginning. next month.
The program prepared by the offi-
cials is somewhat similar to the law
obtained by the suffragists of Illi-
nois. The attempt will be made to
obtain the passage of a statute giv-
ing women the right to vote for pres-
idential electors.- . • . .

The $500,000,000 in the United

pounds, or 3,800 tons. It would take
about 4,060 horses, in a procession 30
miles long to move it. If it were to
be packed on the backs of the Anieri-
can army and each man was to car-
ry fifteen pounds of it, there would
be the necessity of increasing the
army to half a million men. If it
