MANY LABOR PERMITS.
State Factory Inspector Complies
Statistics of Child Workers.

State Factory Inspector Complies
Statistics of Child Workers.
The State factory inspectors depart
ment is compiling statistics of labor per-
mits issued by the county and municipal
judges throughout the State, since July
/, 1904. With two northern counties
missing, the returns thus far received
show that for the year and half, 26,5OO
working permits were issued to children
in Wisconsin, 23S of which were for boys
under IA years of age. Of the latter
number, about half were vacation per-
mits only, allowing children under the
age limit to work during the summer va
cation. In several counties, not one per-
nit was inssued, and some county judges
seemingly were unaware that child
labor law was in existence, judging from
the replies they sent to the factory in
spector. In Milwaukee, during the
school period, absolutely no labor permits
are issued to children under IA years
of age, and if Mr.. Waller, the factory
inspector, receives knowledge of such
children's being employed he not only
orders them to cease, but arrests the en-
plOyer,

Work Too Many Hours.

w Ofk TOO Many Hours.
In a recent speech made by p. III.
Morrissey, grand master of the Broth
erhood Of Railroad Trainmen, he de-
clared that railway employees were
compelled to work too many hours to
insure safe traffic on the roads. He
said:
'"There is no other occupation to-day
in which men are forced to be more
alert and active and yet are expected
to remain in service so many hours at
a time. Laws should be enacted to
protect the railroad man. We should
work unitedly in an effort to procure
the enactment of measures providing
for the maintenance Of the families Of
railroad men who meet with misfor-
tune. If railroad companies can be
forced by legislation to install safety
appliances for the benefit of the pa
irons of the road, it would be no more
than fair that the employees themselves
and\ their families should be taken
care Of. We hear about the shipping
rates and what benefits passengers
should receive from the roads they pa
tronize, but all the time the vast army
of our dead and the train of mourners
who follow the victims of the merci-
less railroad march pass unheeded.
There should be provided by law
compensation act, forcing the railroad
to provide an annuity for the family
equal to the earning power of the in
jured man.

WOMAN THIEF IN SOCIETY.

Marshfieid Is Agitated by Repeated
Thefts at Entertainments.
Marshfeld society people are consid
erably agitated over repeated thefts at
teas, luncheons and dancing parties held
within the last six weeks. With but one
exception, the thefts have been made at
luncheons or teas where no men were
in attendance, and for this reason sus-
picion points to woman. Articles miss
ing after the guests depart consist of
silver knives and forks, fancy center
pieces, shawls, ETC., and Notwithstanding
close scrutiny the light-fngered one has
so cleverly worked her cards in society
circles that no one feels inclined to make
public any suspicious entertained as to
her identity. The exposure of the guilty
one may fathom the larger thefts recent
ly in different Marshfeld houses, when
jewelry, savings banks, etc, have been
stolen, the whole aggregating several
hundred dollars.

Dissipated Large Properties, but
Failed to Keep Out of Prison.
The 16O-acre farm of Albert Ullmann.
formerly Of Lebanon, now serving ten
year sentence in Waupun for attempted
murder Of his daughter has been sold
at sheriff's sale. The place was bid in
by Cashier G. d. Roberts of Oconomo-
woe for S14,G5O. NJ. Jacobs of Beaver
Dam held a mortgage of $6,000 upon
Which the action for foreclosure was
based. The sale is a sequel to the des-
perate fight which the Lebanon man
made to keep clear of the prison walls.
When Ullmann was arrested he secured
bondsmen by deciding his farm of 100
acres over to John and Edward J. La
buwl of Rubicon, as sureties, and he
secured an attorney by executing mort
gage in favor Of J. e. Malone of Ju-
neau for $4,000. The bondsmen were
also to be literally paid for their trou-
bic. Malone put up the mortgage as
collateral for a loan of 81 900 from Mi
chael b. Jacobs of Beaver Dam, who
subsequently brought the action for fore
closure. The mortgage, fees and costs
took the major portion of the purchase
price, leaving but little to be turned over
to the estate.
