WHAT LABOR WILL ASK,
Of The Coming Meeting of the
Legislature.

Mr.. L. v. Barton will Present Several
Important Bills to That Body-One
Asks for q state Board Of Arbitra.
tion-Another for More Fire Es.
capes ON Public Buildings.
Mr.. Isaac V. Barton, state labor
commissioner, was interviewed Sat
urday morning concerning the three
bills that he has drafted to be pre-
scented before the legislature this
session says the Wheeling Tele-
graph. The names of the bills are
as follows: "a bill relating to fire
escapes on buildings where labor is
employed" another, "A bill to
create state board of arbitration
and Cancellation for the settlement
of labor controversies, the other is
"A bill to create state board of ex-
aminers and licensing of stationary
engineers"
these bills are OF the utmost i'm
portance and all confidence is placed
their chances OF passing both thu leg
islature and the senate said Mr.. Bar
ton. Mr.. Barton made special exami-
nations for all three of the bills. For
the bills on fire escapes and station
AIRY engineers he travelled through
out all the state studying his sub.
ject extensively. For the third he
correspondent with all the labor or.
CARNATIONS to ascertain their views
towards the bill and he found every
body in favor of it. Mr.. Barton's
conversation was as follows "One
of the duties of the commissioner of
laoor is to make Investigations
throughout the state to see that all
is in line and keeping with the safe,
ty of the people employed. During
the past year l found the means Of
escaping during fires very detective.
l reported the condition of affairs to
Governor White and through him to
the Legislature. 1t was the object
of the old bill to get fire escapes on
buildings higher than two stories.
The bill passed the legislature all
right, but was stopped at the senate.
l travelled four months and halt
making Investigations before draft.
ing the new bill and in all I exam
ined the structures of l4l towns and
cities in the state. l had expected
to find about 800 FIRE escapes, but
all told there are only six in the
whole state of West Virginia. The
kind Of fire escape provided for in
the bill is rallied with platforms on
every separate story, so that panic
will be prevented by people fearin
that they will fall. The stationary
engineer bill will apply throughout
the state. In my special examina
ton found many instances where
minors and incompetent help was n
charge of responsible positions. 1t
is the object Of this bill to appoint
state board OF examiners who will
give licenses TO those who are quail
fed to hold them This applies to
nothing below 80 horse power en-
gines and the licenses are not good
out Of the state of West Virginia.
The last and most important of the
balls is the one on labor Cancellation.
The recent coal strikes have proven
this should l be the medium between
the employer and employe thrt this
bill provides. 1t is thought that this
bill will have no opposition at all.
The Legislature will not be bur
dened, although it will be a very
busy session, the time being taken
up by other mattcss. Mr.. Barton
left Monday for Char eslon.

THIEVES GET 500
A Clarksburg Man Said to Have Lost
This Amount.

One of the boldest robberies ever
committed IL Clraksburg came to
light yesterday morning Mr.. j. E.
Hamilton, the uperintendent OF the
p. X. Mines east of town, is the loser
Of 800 10 money. A few days ago he
and his wife went to Ohio to visit rel
atives. and left the father aud moth
er of Mrs. Hamilton in charge of tie
house and children during their alb
sencc. When Mr.. and Mrs. Hamil-
ton returned they noticed that the
trunk upstairs in their room was open
and the contents all scattered around
An Investigation revealed the fact

they have is that on the day they
went away one of the children met a
strange man in the hall. Nothing
was said as he walked out the door.
