AN UNBURNABLE CITY
WILL SOON De BUILT
Falling Insurance Rates Show
Growth in Number of Fire
Proof Buildings.
Architects and Engineers plan
For House That Will
Not Burn,

NEW YORK, June 6.-"Some day
we shall Sc an unburnable city," said
a prominent fire insurance underwrit-
er Of New York, commenting upon the
low rate. upon lofty office buildings.
This authority mentioned building
in the Wall street district which car
ries the lowest rate possible under the
schedules of the New York Fire In
surance Exchange. It is the Caledoni-
an, in Pine street, and its net rate is
only 5 cents per hundred dollars. The
building has cast iron frame, the
members Of which are protected by
porous terra Gotta and brick. It is
twelve stories high.
Higher Rate on Lower Building.
A ten-story building in Broad street,
not far from the New York Stock
Exchange, has to pay twice as much,
Or net rate Of 10 cents Pei hundred
dollars, though it Is two stories lower
than the Caledonian. It's metal frame
is not protected by either terra Gotta
or brick, and that causes the difference
in the rate, An official of the Fire
Insurance Exchange says:
Boost For Terra Gotta.
Il should estimate that fireproof
protection, that is terra Gotta or brick
means a difference of fully rs per
cent in the, net rate of insurance on
steel and iron buildings. Five cents
is the lowest rate allowed in New
York. More and more modern build
ings put up nowadays approach that
minimum. Unquestionably this city is
becoming safer from fire every day
through the erection of buildings of
protected iron and STEEL"
Low Rate on Sky -Scraper.
Another example of very low rate
due to modern f1reproofing methods
is the Trinity building, No. Ill Broad
way. Its great height, 21 stories.
which would ordinarily mean very
costly insurance lis counterbalanced
by the character of construction, and
the rate is only IL cents per hundred
dollars. Architects and engineers are
considering as never before the isola-
tion Of each floor from the others. the
limiting of areas, the utmost possible
elimination Of well holes, and the en-
closing Of stairways.

They will be compelled to base their
verdict largely upon circumstantial
evidence. They will hear the testimo-
ny of Harry Orchard. the nature of
which, it is promised, will be startling
in the extreme.
All the 100000 inhabitants of Idaho
will read the disclosures Orchard will
make. They will base opinions on
what he tells the court and jury. In
the very nature of things, these read
ers will be disqualified for jury duty.
How then can jury be obtained in
any county of the state either to
jury disagrees, as predicted. or to sit
in judgment upon Meyer Or Petit
bone?
People All Neiehbors.
1t is not as though the proceedings
were scheduled for county or state
of large population. Out here the peo-
pie are all neighbors. They are sepa-
rated for the greater part by long
stretches of road or plain or mountain
path, but they are drawn the closer To-
gether by reason of their semi -rsola-
ton.
The cause Of one is the cause Of the
other. Their paths of daily life radi-
ate about the same orbit and they
think alike, eat alike and breathe alike.
1t is doubtful if candidate for gov
ernor in an eastern state has even a
speaking acquaintance with as many
as 10 per cent Of those who vote for
him. I venture that Governor Good
ing of Idaho can call by name not
less thanx29O per cent Of every man
Whose vote he received.
All of which goes to show that aft
er Orchards s testimony has been in
troduced and the other evidence has

POLITICS FOR LABOR
MOVEMENT IN ILLINOIS
Legislative Committee Men
From Several Branches Of
Labor Make Plans.
Map Out Program and Pre-
pare For Aggressive and
Effective Campaign.

CHICAGO, June 6.-Out of the
efforts of the labor organizations of H.
hno1s to secure protective legislation
respecting dangerous employments,
there is a probability of an immedi-
ate organization for political purpos-
es.
The labor representatives in atten.
dance upon the legislature during the
session, called the Labor Lobby"
were President Edwin R. Wright of the
Illinois Federation of Labor, Leland
P. Smith, of the Chicago Federation of
Labor, G. A. Randall of the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen, G. A. White
and D. Enfight Of the Amalgamated
Association of Street Railway Employ
es, Richard Tippits of the United Mine
Workers of Illinois, and John Sonsteby
Of the Garments Workers. The prin-
cipal bills for which they lobbied were
the following:
White Labor Lost.
Repeal of the convict labor law, so
that convict labor would no longer
compete with free labor.
Labels on prison made GOODS,
Adjustment of the fellow servant
rule as defense in damage suits bas-
ed upon accidents.
Abrogation of the clause in relief as
sociation contracts by which members
although supporting the rund by their
own contributions, waive their right
to sue for damages If injureu.
Safety appliances and comforts for
street car employees. ...,
Regulating hours of work for street
car employees, and requiring ten hours
of work in. twelve consecutive hours
Having failed to secure the passage
of any relief legislation, and receiving
only scant consideration, the members
OF the Labor Lobby issued from
Springfield an address on the 18th,
In which, after denouncing the sen.
ate as under the control of cor
poration and trust-protecting combi-
nation, they made this announcement:
: Program Of Labor.
Labor's legislative representatives
here have met and elected q state o.
ganization board for the purpose OF
going into the field during campaigns
and supp orting our friends ond appos,

tnimicel to all the people. If it had
State Labor Bureau. which during the
excitement of the campaign of 1896
was used as kite for party politic-
al machine, 1t would have lived an
honorable, although very brief career.
1t was the State Federation of La
bor which compelled the State Senate
to make a careful investigation of the
Labor Bureau, and while members of
Gov. Clough's political machine at
tempted to laugh the proposition to
scorn, 1t soon developed that they were
obliged to employ counsel to defend
their willing lieutenant. While the
result was a wh1te-wash for the La
Dor commissioner, the next governor
lost no time in putting a sincere trade
unionist In the position, and from that
time the labor laws of Minnesota have
been consistently enforced
Prevented Child Labor.
Had 1t not been for the State Fede-
ration of Lator child labor laws, the
best in the Country, would not have
been on our statute books, and we
would now be. In the midst of as try
ing an evil as are the wage earners of
the tardy south. AS it IS, Minnesota
ranks first among the states with as
effective child labor and factory laws
as were ever written.
The federation has passed through
some crucial tests and has come out
maintaining the dignity for labor that
becomes a bods officered by honest
and sincere men. If 1t were not for
this organization there would not be
any community of interests among the
workingmen in the several cities Of the
state. Time after time the cause Of
the injured workingmen in one local.

Press Corresponding Haywood
trial is actually on. Harry Orchard,
the admitted murderer of former Gov
rnor Steunenberg, is on the stand. He
tells well schooled story, details Of
which will be forwarded later. The

they appeal to me.

not permit his eye to reach that Of
Haywood. He is RESTLESS ard uneasy.

EYES or MINNESOTA WAGE EARNERS .
SET ON COMING LABOR CONVENTION
SOMETHING OF RECORD
OF STATE FEDERATION

The Minnesota State Federation
Of Labor was organized seventeen
years ago. It ranks second to
mono among the central labor or
sanizations Of tho country.
It's career has been historic.
Through many crucial moments
it came out Of the fray with un-
tarnished named, and uphoIding
tho dignity Of labor.
Once whom tho State Labor
Bureau was being used as the
kite Of a party political machine
it came to the relief Of labor,
and regenerated the useful state
department Of value to labor.
1t was instrumental in seeur-
ing the most favorable child la
Dor and factory laws Of any state
in the union.

WOULD Be IMPOSSIBLE To GET A
SECOND JURY IN HAYWOOD CASE
ORCHARD Is CALLED As
WITNESS. IN HAYWOOD CASE

Harry Orchard wa. called as a
witness in the Haywood case
late this week. The notorious
criminal is telling what is be.
lieved to be a we'll schooled story.
The attorneys for the state
seem to lead him on, suggesting
days and date, and it is evident
from the character Of his testimo-
ny that the federation is on trial.
Orchard does not look At Hay
wood Never once has he per-
mitted his eye to catch that Of
the prisoner. Events which oe-
cured long before Haywood was
connected with tho Miners union
are admitted into the case.
Armed guards stand within
three feet Of Orchard while he is
on the witness stand, watching
his every movement.
