INSPECTING FACTORIES.
Labor Commissioners johnson Is on a
Tour.

Labor Commissioner johnson is in the
midst Of the work of making an in
spection Of the 1000 factories in Kan
sas to determine whether the safety.
sanitation and ventilation of the fac
tories, as required by law, has been
complied with.
a good many factories have danger
Gus machinery said Mr.. Johnson. Cog
wheels are exposed belts run low and
IN q dangerous manner where men are
at work. A great deal has been done
within the last two years TO make con-
ditions in the factories better. The
laundries are one of the greatest
sources of danger. Machinery, such as
mangies not provided with safety
strips, are used and cog wheels are ex-
posed In many laundries the women
are compelled to work while standing
on wet floors Within the last few
years the conditions have been i'm
proved as manufacturers are provid-
ing the machines with guards. Only
the newer and small laundries where
second hand machinery is used are in
bad condition. The new law passed by
the last legislature requiring safe
guards and elevator ratings and fire
escapes has been of wonderful bene-
fit in lettering the condition Of the
factories

LOOK FOR A COMBINE.
Harvest Hands and Threshers May
Want Higher Wages.

Some of the wheat raisers in western
Kansas fear that the harvest hands
and threshers viii this year form
combine for the maintenance of a high
and uniform scale of wages.
In some of the thinly settled western
counties where immense acreages OF
wheat are raised annually, the wheat
raisers have heard limitations that the
harvesters in those localities would de-
mand certain scale Of wages during
harvest and that the scale would be
high.
Superintendent Gerow of the state
employment bureau says that he does
not believe that the harvesters will or
can form any such & union, unless it
would be that the owners of teams and
wagons in a locality might band to-
gether and demand certain price. Mr..
Gerow says the fact that thousands of
harvest hands come into the state each
year TO stay only for the harvest would
make such q union impossible.
