If the Legislature which began its
session at Charleston yesterday gives
heed to the opportunities of the labor
element of the State it will crystalize
into statutes a number of laws of vital
interest to the toiling masses. When
Labor Commissioner |. V. Barton left
here Tuesday he carried with him man
uscript bills which in his judgment en-
body the most important points de-
handing legislation at the present
time.
The proposed laws were prepared
with the cooperation and under the
advice of numerous prominent students
of the needs of employees and with
full knowledge of the abuses perpe-
trated under present conditions, and
were endorsed by the Ohio Valley
Trades and Labor Assembly at its meet
ing on the 8th instant. Out OF cour-
tesy to the honorable body to whom
the request for favorable consideration
and prompt action will be addressed
the nature of the bills has not here
tofore been made public.
There were three bills prepared I'M
der the auspices of the labor commits
sioner. but there is one other, and per-
haps two that are fathered by the
Trades Assembly alone, and were pre-
pared by the legislative committee OF
that body, of which Mr.. A. L. Bauer
of No. 1906 Jacob street, is chairman
The first of the trio is bill to
create a State bureau of labor for the
compilation of statistics and also en-
bracing a department of inspection.
1t is urged there is now no adequate
means of obtaining information of vio-
lations of law and that sWeat-shops,
crowded and lily provided work shops
where hundreds of persons of both
sexes are huddled together under bad
sanitary conditions, with no proper
provision for the exercise Of proprlety
or the enjoyment of ordinary COM
forts, exist in open and fragrant OPP
position to authority and statute. That
inspection Shall De dluplS anu lHOl OuSA
is one of the most emphatic provisions
of this bill.
The second bill is calculated to in
crease the age limit at which children
can legally be employed, and the third
Is to provide against accidents
through the defect of buildings, ma
chinery or other industrial appliances.
The bill prepared by the legislative
committee upon the unanimous declara-
ton of the Trades Assembly provides
for the eight hour day. This desidera-
tum has been devoutly craved by WesS
Virginia workingmen FOR years, and
they now hope to attain the long
sought goal
1t is also possible a labor day law,
asking that one day a year be made
legal holiday, as in Ohio and other
States, will be asked for and a bill be
drafted in due season.
These measures are to be presented
to the Legislature through Hon. B.
w. Connolly, the Ohio county member,
and if necessary a lobby sufficiently
imposing will be sent to Charleston 10
insure the bills being taken UP at an
early date and pushed to a successful
Issue.

Collateral for Car Fare.
From the Chicago News.


An amusing incident happened on an
Indiana avenue street car recently. The
car was going south; attached to the Cot
tage Grove cable. At Van Buren, street a
big, portly woman got aboard On her arm
she carried large market basket that ap-
parently was filled with bargain pur-
chases from some department store. Three
minutes after she had sat down and de-
posted the basket between her feet on the
floor the conductor came along with the
usual cry. Fare, please!"
The old lady opened her purse and began
rummaging through its various pockets for
a nickel. Again and again she went
through it. but no change was to be found.
Then she turned to the conductor and said

well, 1 haven't the money"
We'll, give me something the value of a
nickel and you can redeem 1t at the end of
the line
The old lady hesitated moment, then
put her hand down into the basket and
drew out bar Of laundry soap and hand
ed to him.
Everybody In the car laughed, but the
conductor took the soap and rang up the
fare.

THE RETIRED BURGLAR.
An experience That Was Unpleasant,
to Say the Least of 1t.

From the New York Sun.
AT one time and another" said the re.
tired burglar, Il have run into a good
many traps, some that meant business
more of 'em just fool traps: that might
make man good deal of bother per-
haps. but didn't do anybody any hurt. ]
told you once about a trap l stepped into
that was made with couple of timbers
rugged to work like the jaws of a steel
trap. That was business. You remember?
l broke my leg in that trap, at = O'Clock
in the morning and had to drag it to a
railroad train-with a pal to lean on, that
trip, most fortunately-and ride to the city,
and wait till o'clock before 1 got it set.
That certainly was business trap; and
about as far opposite to 1t as you could
possibly get, was one that l encountered
very soon after 1 got out after my leg
healed.
Il came to door, opening off an up
stairs hall, which was closed, and which
opened easily and naturally for six eight
inches and then stopped as though 1t had
run softly onto tapering wedge some
where. l was holding onto this door with
my left hand to steady it and pushing with
my right and when it ran UP against that
thing that stopped it, whatever it was. 1
didn't try to push right ahead through the
side of the house, but 1 stopped Then
started 1t again and found | could work
it little farther without much trouble,
and then 1 took hold of 1t, carefully and
firmly with both hands and worked it a
quarter or half an inch at time further
and further open, the door binding a little
all the time but still yielding to pressure
and going gradually till all of a sudden il
cleared the obstruction entirely and went
swinging open the rest of the way freely,
and down on me, covering me from head to
foot, and front and back came a shower of
flour.
This man had set up over the door. fixed

their contents on whoever came through

Tar, two twenty-four-pound bags of flour.
The man coming through. was sure to be
coming slow, and so, sure to be under 1t
long enough to get all the flour, and he
couldn't help being covered with 1t. What
under the canopy ever possessed a man to
fix up trap like that l can't even guess;
but of all the foul freaks I ever encoun-
tered, that was the worst, and it made me
mad 1t hadn't done me a bit of hurt Just
made me feel foolish, that's all, and mad;
and / thought I'd just go ahead about the
house Just as was and finish up the work

to spite him. But then / realized that nv
very last crowding on the door, when /
had finally pushed 1t clear and over the
obstruction, had pushed it over against
the wall. 1t may easily happen that a
thing you work over with the greatest care

this had done. and made some little noise:
