Sensational Report or tho illinois Labor
Burcau.
SrRlNGFIELD, Ills, September 20. ~
The most sensational report ever issued
by d state bureau has been made
public by the Illinois bureau Of labor
statistics. 1t charges that the great
majority Of the wealthy tax payers of
Illinois and more especially of Chicago
are perjurers; that the assessors are
guilty of malfeasance in Office; that
the present financial condition of
Chicago is directly traceable to the
corrupt system Of taxation, and that
the '.deplorablc condition of working
men is due to the liberty destroying
methods of taxation which prevail in
Illinois" The report is made up of n
mass of tables compiled from official
reports of assessors, banks, real estate
transfers, the state board of equal
ization and the various municipal
departments towhich the agents of the
bureau had access After declaring
that lit Is the purpose of the report to
expose existing methods of taxation in
Illinois, with special reference to their
effect upon the labor interests" the
report proceeds to review the work of
former bureaus. The stand is taken
that it is idle to dwell upon the wages
and condition Of the average wage
earners of the state. The bureau
contends that their condition rs
proved by evidence SO clearand abund-
ant that the completion Of any further
statistics merely to prove it would be
wasted effort

miners and iniuring four others. rho
men were working in drift and slope
about ten feet above the lower levels
where fifty pounds Of powder had been
stored. Five or ten pounds of this was
in an oil can warming with lighted
shutters under it. This, it seems, is
the usual method Of warming powder.
In some manner it exploded and the
conclusion set off the remaining pow

could not get out and six of them
