Ass
The work of factory inspection which
commenced for this year on the first
of last June, is found to be quite easy
as compared with the first years eX-
periences of the inspectors. The dis
position last year was to fight shy of
the inspectors and to cause them all
the trouble possible when they sought
to 20 into factories in the state. But
much inspection was done and the
state labor commission sent out no.
tices to factory owners calling atten-t
ton to things In violation Of the law
and in many cases enforced these no.
tees or orders vigorously. Last year
the law strengthened by the addition of
special factory inspector, and giving
more funds for enforcing the law. Now
the state factory inspector and the
deputy labor commissioner who are
doing the inspecting. find that great
deal of good was done last year and
that there has been much Improvement
in factories, and that this year the in
spectors are welcomed as friends and
helpers and not summed as enemies.
The difference lies in the fact that the
purpose of inspection is much better
understood by all. Last year only
about one third of the factories of the
state were inspected; but this year,
with the added facilities, it is expected
that all will be seen, and in the mat
ter of sanitation and safety for en-
ployes, there will be much accom-
plished.
