SELLING SEATS.
Some of the Trials and Vacations
of the Box Office.

''Talk about trials and fluctuations"
murmured Charley Parker,of the Grand
opera house, last evening; ''if you can
find man vino has any more of them
than the ticket-seller at a theater, [
will see that you get the incest supper
that the West can afford. It's simply
awful, what we have to undergo some
times; and the worst of it is, if the
ticket man loses his temper once he is
set down as brute, who will knock
down a baby when the poor little thing
cries. AS rule, ladies are the hardest
to please, and the reason is that they
never know what they want and and
are never satisfied after they get it,
either. A few days agol was at the box
office when handSomely-dressed lady
came in and said she wanted two seats.
When [ asked her if she wanted them
for that evening she became angry. and
informed me that it was none of my
business when she wanted them for.
GAS soon as she cooled down a trifle
she began to find fault with the price of
the tickets. and then with the arrange

something like this followed, leaving

LABOR STATISTICS.
The Need Of Agents to Get In

One of the important matters to come
before the present legislature is the
matter of placing the labor bureau in
position to do its work effectively dur
ing the next two years. When the
bureau was established, two years ago.
but very little was known in regard to
the duties of such a department Of the
state government. 1t was generally
supposed that it would only be neces-
sary for the commissioner to sit in his
Office, send questions out through the
state to any one he saw fit, and receive
correct answers by return mail. EXpe-
rience soon proved that such a method
of procedure is worse than useless.
There is no sure way of getting correct
information in regard to matters COM
ing within the limits of the work which
the bureau is authorized to perform, eX-
cept to send special agents to the place
where the facts can be had and gather
them with patience ard care by direct
inquiry. Consequently the amount OF
information that can be collected, and,
therefore in large measure the value
of the bureau depends upon the amount
provided by. the state for the employ
ment of such agents. 1t is hoped that a
sufficient appropriation will be made at
the present session of the legislature to
enable the bureau to do efficient work.
A bill will be introduced to that effect.
The recent reappointmento OF John Lamb
will insure a good report for the COM
ing wear,

PRISON CONTRACT LABOR.
Inspector A. X. Doe Favors a Re-

turn to the Old System.
Hon. A. X. Doe, of the state board of
prison inspectors, in giving his opinion
to the GLOBE as to the best method for
the employment of the conyicts Of the
state, says:
after their Eastern trip, the board
of inspectors reported TO the governor
in favor of a return to the old contract
system, although this does not neces-,
sarily imply renewal of the contract
which expired last September. This
is only an opinion of the board. which
understands that the legislature alone
has the power for a final disposition OF
the matter. My own opinion on the
contract labor question is based upon
the fact that Minnesota is an agricul-
tural state, and less susceptible to i'll
fiuences upon the market from the pro-
ducts Of contract convict labor. With
states where manufactures pre-
dominate it is, of course, differ
ent. The total of the products of
convict labor is exaggerated. and the
per cent of its competition with outside
products surprisingly small. The mass
of the people regard penal punishment
as the primary object of confinement.
whereas the encouragement of indus
trial habits and the protection of So
ciety is what is first sought. Punish
ment is the last thing desired. That
which encourages rational habits and
enjoyment is certainly beneficial, and
am of the belief that the contract"
system provides the best means for the
attainment Of this end with convicts.
The penal institutions which visited,
and which operate under this system,
show abundant signs OF thrift and
prosperity. But am not in favor of
The state account system. 1t is i'm
practicable, and of the three-the con-
tract, the piece price and the state ac-
count systems-the least desirable. 1t
assumes the functions of a private and
corporate interest with all the liabilities
of plant. backing, market and manage
ment. 1t leads to alternate periods of
sloth and excessive activity, encourage
ing vicious results either way. Where
the contract system exists all is thrift,
and where the state account predomi-
mates there is more or less absence of
it, dependent upon the ability Of the
state to place its products"

MINNEAPOLIS TOPICS.
The Repeal of the Eight our
LAMENTATIONS Matters.

The recent action of the city council
in regard to the eight-hour law has re-
vived anew the former agitation in re-
gard to this phase OF the industrial
question. About two and a half years
ago the eight-hour movement was a
common topic of discussion among all
branches of organized labor. Mass
meetings were held. and the best writ
ers and speakers upon industrial topics
helped to keep the question before the
public As result of these discussions
the Minneapolis city council, about two
wears ago. passed an ordinance making
eight hours a days work on all city
work and giving city work by day in
stead of by contract. Practically the
eight-hour day was only put in force
upon the sewers. The application of
the law being left to the discretion OF
aldermen of the wards in many cases.
Local labor leaders on being inter-
viewed during the past week claimed
that the recent action of the council
was not so injurious as might appear
upon the face of it.

on city work in Minneapolis was of

Strictly at 1920 the
work of examining begins. By the table
stands the examining officer, Capt
Charles B. Hall. and though he is not in
uniform he would be taken for soldier

nitied his whole bearing. Along one
side of the room sit the candidates for

Sergt. Helmle takes the names and
the examination begins. One 10y one
they come before the captain and are
questioned as to their former life. their
character, their habits, etc. There is
little evasion of the questions as they
are put. The captain has had much eX-
perience with men, and his sharply put
questions and steady gaze will bring
the truth out of the most wary rascal.
The eight pass the bo,nbardment very

looks leave the room. Poor fellows,

give them food and clothing, and had
resorted to as the last alternative.

:, whats going to be done about it?"
is the natural query of those interested.
several projects are ON foot. 1t will be
remembered that the recent proclama-
ton of the federation of labor in regard
to the eight-hour day appeals to all
trade unions and organized crafts to
make preparations for refusing to work
longer than eight hours after May 1,
1890. X. of L.. organizations in this city
are preparing to act in concert with the
federated trades. Measures are being
taken for so thorough a discussion of
the matter that on the appointed date,
not only employees on city work, Or
members of organized crafts, but en-
plOyes of all manufacturing establish
ment5 as well will refuse to work more
than eight hours day. ''We will not
trust this time tOan ordinance that may
be repealed at the whim of the pOliti-
cian," said one of the leaders of the
movement, but will endeavor to so
educate and develop public sentiment
during the next eighteen months that
by common consent eight hours will be
as readily recognized, for all ordinary
days work as is ten hours at the present
time"
Of course it is an open question as to
the possibility of attaining this result,
but the attempt will at least set all
classes to thinking upon industrial mat
tiers. The natural result of such thought
will be lessening of prejudice and a
desire to do what is fair Oh the part OF
