RELATING TO LABOR
Extracts From Bulletin Issued by De-
partment of Labor.
LAWS OF THE VARIOUS COUNTRIES
Precautions Taken for the Health
of Working People.
RUS SIAN CIVIL CODE

The latest bulletin Of the department OF
labor, which has just been issued. contains
chapters on the Trend of Wages" Stats
tics of Cities and Foreign Labor Laws"
Referring to the latter, it is stated among
sother things that though Russia has only
within a comparatively recent date entered
the ranks of the important industrial ma
lions, it is of interest to note that not only
has the elaboration of systematic in
dustrial code reached an advanced stage.
but in more than one respect the begin
nings of this legislation antedate those Of
any of her more Industrial neighbors.
Russia was thus the first nation to appre-
ciate the necessity for a special corps of
inspectors TO control methods of work in
factories. The appointment Of such officials
was directed by an imperial decree issued
at the early date Of 1719. This same de-
cree contained the germ of factory legisla-
ton by STIMULATING that workingmen should
be honestly paid for their work and prop
erly taken care of.
In 1853 further measures were promul-
gated to prevent work being imposed upon
workingmen beyond their strength and
to prevent the employment of workingmen
in factories and workshops to the detri-
ment of their agricultural work. In the
following year. 1864. the hours of labor in
factories and mills belonging to the crown
were limited to twelve per day. In 1893 the
employment of children under ten and
worJtingmen over fifty years Of age was

This was the weak side of old
fashioned training: 1t ignored the
needs and requirements of the body.
All its effort was to guide the heart
and mind The body might stumble
along anyhow, and it generally did.
Many sweet-faced, modest-mind-
edyoung girl has had her first doubts
of the goodness OF Providence come
in through the door OF physical suf-
fering.
"Why am | condemned to suffer
in this way?" she asks, why does
my back ache? Why does my head
throb and my side pain, so that |
am fain to creep into a darkened
room and forego the pleasure which
belong to my season of life"
no ANSWER COMES
as rule to these questions. The
young woman looks around and sees
scores of similar sufferers. She is
told it is a part of the burden laid
upon women, and she shapes her
shoulders to her heavy load.
This is all mistake Proper train
ing, proper physical care would many
times prevent these miserable condi-
tons. But in any case, however dis
uessing the present condition, 1t can
be cured by the use OF DIR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription, if it is dis
ease durable by medicine.

prohibited. The principle Of a weekly rest
day in all government establishments was
established by law about the same time.
The law now in force consists of two
parts. The first relates to the labor con-
tract, and is a development of the general
principle of the Russian civil code. 1t APP
plies to the whole empire, and it's enforce
ment is guaranteed in the same lay in
the execution of other contracts. The sec
ond relates to the maintenance of good
order. the imposition Of fires, the payment
of wages. etc, in factories, and was made
to apply only to the three most important
industrial governments-St. Petersburg,
Moscow and Vladimir. Subsequent laws
Dune 11-23, 1891. and March 14-26. 1890 ex-
tended its application to fifteen other gov
ernments so that the law in fact is now in
force in practically all manufacturing Rus
STA. A few slight notifications were in
troduced in the law of 1886 by the act Of
June $50 1888. Finally. by the law Of
definitely Incorporated in the Industrial
code of the empire as sections "a to 1O6.
a special law, enao ed August 26-Septem-
Der I, 1856. made it obligatory upon fac
tory owners and operators whose estab-
lishments included more than 100 working
men to provide a hospital with at least one
bed for each 100 employees.
Another special law was that Of April g.
II. 1854. in relation to the protection Of
labor in metal works and other establish
ments operated in connection with mines,
and therefore not constituting works COW
cred by the general factory laws. A law
for the protection of employees working be-
low ground in mines had been passed May
1926, 1880 but as it did not relate to sur
face work the law of 1884 was passed to
remedy this defect.
! The civil code prohibits a workingman
from leaving his work or an employer from

the claims of superiority made for

not rest on mere words, but upon
cures. Thousands of weak women

upon morality and virtue. BE good

maidenhood she was often sorely
