The Duluth Licensed Tugmen'S Pro-
tective association held it's first meet
ing this season Wednesday in the Hun
ter block. There was a large atten-
dance, and beginning next Wednesday,
the meetings will be held regularly.
The question receiving the most con-
sideration was the probable DISPOSE
ton of the case brought by Captain
Walter Woods, former pilot of the tug
Castle, against Engineers +. w. Lee
and Tracy Warren, which marine men
are following closely. Captain Woods
complained to the government author
| tiles that Lee and Warren refused to
do their duty on the Castle because
he was not a member of the Tugmen's
association, with the result that he lost
his position. When the case came be-
fore the local steamboat inspectors, In
spector Monaghan decided in favor of
Captain Woods, holding in effect that
a licensed engineer or officer was re-
creant to his oath to the government
when he took the obligation accepted
by all members of the Tugmen's asso-
citation, and he also recommended that
the license of the engineers be sus-
pended for six months. Inspector Chalk
took different view Of the situation,
and decided in favor of the engineers
Supervising Inspector Sloan, of Du-
buque. Ia, will arrive here this week,
to hear the case. If he decides against
the men. the association will appeal to
the highest authority, Supervising Gen.
eral Inspector Dumont
The association feels that the settle-
ment of this case means a great deal
to it's organization, and members in
innate that the men may have had
other reasons for not working with
Woods in addition to the fact Of his not
being a member of the association.
Officers viii be elected at the next
meeting.

STATE LABOR COMMISSIONER ISSUES
4O2 ORDERS.
OF the Number 30 Affected Duluth.
Numerous Changes For the Safety
of Employees Recommended.
Orders Generally Enforced Under
Per~Onal Supervision Of tn
spectorx-Fire Escapes Provided.

The state commissioner of labor has
prepared a detailed statement showing
the work that his department has done
in enforcing the labor laws of the state.
During the past twenty-one months
402 orders have been issued and of these
80 were issued to Duluth firms, while
166 orders were issued in St. Paul and
1877 in Minneapolis.
In St. Paul the orders have directed
numerous changes for the safety Of
employees, such as putting in guard
rails and erecting fire escapes. Changes
in staircases and ladders were also
ordered and 50 were sanitary improve
ments in a number Of instances. Eighty
orders along similar lines were issued
in Minneapolis.
In regard to child labor SO orders
were issued in St. Paul and 81 in
Minneapolis.
The orders issued in Duluth were
along the same lines as those in other
cities but were all proportionately
smaller.
In almost every instance the orders
made were enforced under personal
supervision Of inspectors. The records
show, as examples Of the improvements
ordered and made, that very large
number of band saws in mills have been
protected with boxing; that factories
with defective fire escapes and exits
have been improved; that chairs have
been ordered placed in factories in
which women are employed; exposed
gearings have been protected, and gen.
