READY FOR BUSINESS
The Newly Appointed Labor Commissioner
E WtJI Test a n Old Law

SAN FRANCISCO, April IS. What
has been practically a dead letter upon
the statute books since its enact mentlas
a law by, the legs stature six years agois
to be taken up by the new labor commits
-sioner, L. l.. Fitzgerald, and put into EN-
forcement. if possible as his very first
step, toward demonstrating that his
Office has work to do. The law is known
i'm THO statutes of 1889 as. an act to pro
vide for the proper sanitation of factories
and workshops and the pre- ervation of
health of the employees, approved Feb
ruary s, 1889. So far as Mr.. Fitzgerald
has been able to ascertain,sno attempt has
ever been M ide to put the law to a test.
The excuses for not doingss so, have been
various, among them having been doubt
in the mind o. his predecessors as to its
constitutionalitv. There is only one
way to determine its constitutionality,
says Mr.. Fitzgerald, land that is to en-
force it. {" Accordingly. he proposes to be
gin an inspection of the factories and
workshops at once and the crusade
against poorly equipped establishments
is to be commenced today.

for change OF venue in the suit brought
against him by his alleged wife, Mrs.
Florence Bucklin Macondray.r He st ties
that he is resident OF San Mateo county
and wants the case transferred to the

The case, when it comes to trial. will
throw considerable light on Micondray's
manner of life while acting as Chilean

years ago. He met Miss Byers in Il
music hall and fell in love with her. He
proposed marriage, according to her COIN
plant, and in October. 1893. u contr,ict

IRON AND PROSPERITY.
From The Boston Post.

From The Boston Post.
The iron industry Hes so near the toundaton OF
commerciai prosperity that great Significance at
taches 10 the rapid and steady increase OF activity
in that business at the great producing cehtres'
This Increase Is most notable
For the first time in many years the mills az
pIttsburg are running through the hot season; the
manufacturers cannot AFFORD to stop. During the
past fortnight mills that have been Idle for Two
years have been leased and will be put In operation
And II Is estimated that there are more men az
work In the STEEL iron and tin trades than at any
time since the panic, earning larger wages ana as
sured OF steady employment into next year.f -,
All this is made possible by the increase IN the
price OF steel blllets on which wages and business
are based And this increase Is caused By the larger
demand for iron In Its structural and commercial
forms for use in other Industries. The country II
building more. is manufacturing more. IL extending
old enterprises and undertaking new ones; and the
flush times In the iron business only reflect the pros
perity growing up all over the land.
