EIGHT HOUR LAW IN NAVY
(Scrlpps Newt Association)
Washington, D. C, August 17. The
Navy Department official who have
charge of public Works are much inter
ested in the effect of the law relating to
tion of such work to eight hours a day. It
is estimated that this requirement will
mean an increase of from 5 to 10 per
cent in the cost of public works. Instruc
tions have been given to those in charge of
work at the navy yards to see to it that
there are no violations of the law and that
all such occurrences are reported prompt
ly and specifically to the Washington au
thorities. The law for the present is in
terpreted in th Navy Department as
applying only to the work itself, and not
extending to the production and prepara
tion of the material which enters into the
construction of naval public works. In
the specifications which have been com
piled lately, an addendum gives special
warning of the requirements of the new
law and what is expected if government
officials.

hlrrlra to meet keary
(Scrlpps News Association)
Milwaulkee, Wis., August 17. Under
the auspices of the Badger Club Aurelio
Herrera, the Mexican boxer, is to fight
Charlie Neary, tSe German boxer, this
evening. Herrera and Neary are to fight
eight rounds and Herrera is to receive
$1000 for his trouble, whether he wins,
loses or fights a draw. It is believed that
Herrera will put up the fight of his life
and that there will be r.o draw this time.
Neary and Harrera have fought three
draws, two at the Panorama and on in
Grand Rapids, Mich. The fourth time
they were to have met was in Butte,
Mont, on July 4, of last year, but the au
thorities stopped the battle in the first
round. Herrera has lost a great deal of
his popularity since the fiasco with Nelson
at Los Angeles, but he is still a hard hit-
ting'fightei and may be depended upon to
give a good account of himself this time,
particularly, as he has a personal grudge
against Neary. As the Eagles are hold
ing their convention here this week, a
large attendance at the fight is expected.
According to the arrangement with th
principals, th sixty per cent of the gate

LADIES WILL SPUR NELSON TO VICTORY
Women, hords of 'em, will attend the
Cans-Nelson prizefight. Among the fair
sex the big battle has createa a splurge
of interest, and they will never be con
tent till they' see the" fight for them'
selves.- Dispatches say that scores of
application have been received by Tex.
Richard, president of the club, from
women in th mining camps who wants
seats at the ringside reserved for them.
At first Richard wasn't going to ac
cede. Then he thought that if the dears
were so anxious to see the fight as
that why not let them do it? Therefore
the women will be privileged spectators
at the great prize-rimr battles.
The favorite? With the fair sex, of
course. There could be no other favorite
than the Batter, most attractive of his
sex. Nelson's blue eyes and fair hair
have sent the Goldfleld girls into rap
tures. "Oh, the dear thing. 1 just hope
he will win" these and others are some
of the sentiments that sour him nn
Under such conditions could a man
very wen fake, even if he wanted to?
LABOR DAY PROCLAMATION
Governor Chamberlain has issued a
proclamation setting aside Monday, Sept
ember J, as Labor day. The text of the
proclamation follows:
'Whereas, the first Monday in Septem
ber of each year has been set apart and
declared to be a public holiday under the
designation of 'Labor Day";
'Now, therefore, I, George E. Chamber
lain, as governor of the state of Oregon,
pursuant to the statute in each case made
and provided, do hereby declare Monday,
the 3d day of September, A. D. 1908, a
legal holiday, to be known as Labor Day.
The people of the state are to be con
gratulated upon the friendly relations
which have always existed between the
employer and the employed within this
jurisdiction. To this condition is largely
due the prosperity which surrounds us on
every side.
It is to be hoped that the day hereby
set apart for observance as a public holi
day will be generally observed by all
classes of our citizens, and that the work
shop and the store and all places of busi
ness will be closed, so that the employer
as well as the employed may completely
rest from all labor."
