Labor Commissioner Martin McIIale
has now got his forces thoroughly or
sanixed and all working like old timers.
Nearly nine hundred different institu-
tions have been thoroughly inspected
since Feb % last, 1S4 of these being in
Duluth, 269 in Minneapolis, and 1862 in St.
Paul. All efforts of the deputies and in
spectors are to be centered on the three
large cities cf the state, and after work
in these is completd the smaller cities
and towns will be then taken UP by the
commissioner and his staff and the work
of preparing statistics and inspection will
be thoroughly looked after.
inspectors A. J. McCallum and julius
Moersch are now engaged making tour
of inspection of ali the mines in the
northern part Of the state, during which
they are also gathering statistics of the
entire history of each mine from the
time 1t was started UP to the present
time. These figures will show the names
of the owners of the property, the name
or names OF the man or men or company
owning or operating the mine from the
start up to the present, amount of the out
put of the mine and value of the same,
amount invested including the original
cost and operating expenses and also the
amount received from the sale of the
output of each mine.
The inspectors are also noting the num-
Der of men employed and in what ca
pacity at each. mine; the numbers of the
different nationalities, number of acci-
dents which have occurred since each
mine was started and whether serious,
fatal or of mild nature and other in
teresting statistics.
Commissioner McFale says that this
is the first time that statistics OF this
kind have been gathered by the labor
bureau, and I am sure when completed
1f-,rr
to the general public
Paul Wade and Deputy Al Graves are
at present devoting their time to the
large mills of Minneapolis, where the
work has gotten way behind, and Deputy
Ed Peterson is devoting his attention to
st. Paul The commissioner said he was
surprised to learn of large manufactur-
Ing plant IN the city where oy er 200 hands
were employed that did not have a foot
of fire escape on the building. The firm
was at once notified tc place two sets of
fire escapes on the building and the order
is now being compiled with. Two other
firms were ordered to place fire escapes
on their buildings, and Mr.. McHa1e said
these orders were being readily obeyed.
Another new feature which has been
introduced by the present administration
IS the daily card report of the deputies
and inspectors on which they report the
work of each day and also keep the
commissioner posted as to the work Of
the men and where 1t is being done each
day. After the cards are received they
are placed On record

must nave all the conveniences for trans
actlng business that others have. 1t must
also provide its citizens with the oppor-
tunities Tor the enjoyment Of all modern
conveniences, the necessities of today,
which were the unknown luxuries of our
Doyhood No one will say that fine
streets with permanent pavements are
not among the necessities of the modern
city.
In St Paul the property owners on
eacn street usually decide what shall be
the kind of pavement put down. In do
ing this, too often the only consideration
mas been the question of first cost and
the requisites of a f1rst-class pavement
are not fully considered
III Is not best that the same material
shouid be usedson all streets. On some
granite Is the proper material, on others
only asphalt should be considered while
sandstone and brick are both well
adapted to certain other conditions.
In comparing first cost, 1t Is only fair
to note that in ST. Paul the conditions Of
the contractsofor maintenance are espe-
claily rigid. Experience has shown that
the cost of maintaining asphalt pave
ments after the first five years. is about
cents per square yard per year. In
comparing the first cost of different pave
ments 1t is but fair to deduct 80 cents
Tor the second five years from the con-
tract price, as no other pavement is guar
anteed.
Some considerable mention of macad-
am mas recently been made as a material
adapted to use on city streets A careful
consideration of the points required for
good pavement will not be favorable
to macadam. 1t is extremely dusty, alb
serbs moisture, is difficult to repair when
ever an opening is made into it, and If
Kept up to good surface and In fine con-
ditfon requires constant expense. These
conditions make it unsuited for city
streets with much travel though 1t is the
ideal for country roads,

Legal Status of Strikes.

The legal right of labor unions to order
strikes for the purpose of enforcing their
demands is called in question by bill
filed yesterday in the Cook county su-
perior court, says the Chicago Times
Herald. The complainant is the orna-
mental iron contracting firm Of Winslow
Brothers company, who have the con-
tract TO supply the ornamental iron work
on the Lakeside building, where there Is
general strike The Building Trades
council, the Architectural Ironworkers'
union and Levi Il. Letter are made de-
PENDANTS. The bill seeks to enjoin Mr.
Letter from canceling his contract with
the complaint on account of the delay
due to the strike, and also prays that
the defendant labor organizations be en-
Joined from Issuing orders preventing the
men from working and furnishing by fines
or otherwise the men who choose to

BrickIayers' Union.

One member, r. Wernick, was initiated
and the applications of Robert Bowler
and G. Daily were received and referred
to the investigating committee at the
regular meeting of the Bricklayers
union at Assembly hall last night. The
rest of the meeting was devoted to con-
sidering the report submitted by the dele
gates to the Building Trades Council and
also the style and form of the work card
to be issued by the council, without any
definite action being taken, but the three
delegates to the council were instructed
to be present at tonight's meeting Of the
council and act in accordance with the
views expressed at the meeting.
The state of trade was reported fair,
with prospects for a busy season very
good for the near future. F3 Tss ,.:szs

The contracts were all let on their mer-

protection by injunction for the nom
union men, and freedom for them from
the threats, arguments and force used by
the unions to prevent their working.

was due to the refusal of the firm to sign
the new scale Of wages, which called for
instead of IS cents an hour Other men
Were secured but before the work had
proceeded far the Building Trades coun-
Gil called a general strike in aid of the
ironworkers. The bill alleges that since
then intimidation has been used against
men who desired to work, and that

RIVER is FALLING.
observer Lyons Size-Up of the Sit
uat1On About Right


The Mississippi is going down and. un-
less something unforeseen happens. the
predictions of Observer Lyons, that the
river this spring would not be more than
ordinarily high, will be verified.
The highest stage of water was reached
on April IA, when the government gauge
registered l0.5 feet. Last Saturday the
water began to fall and at o'clock last
night the gange registered only s.3 feet
a total fall of 1.2 feet During the last
Two days the water has been going down
at the rate Of a of a foot a day. In
speaking OF the conditions yesterday OBJ
server Lyons said:
While it is not impossible 1t IS highly
Improbable that we will have any higher
water than at the present time From
now on ordinary rains would not cause an
appreciable raise If, however, we should
nave excessive rains for seven or eight
days In succession the river would nm
doubtedly cause trouble. There is hardly
a chance of high water unless the lat.
ter should happen"
