STATE LABOR BUREAU - =.
AFTER GREEDY PARENTS
pecial to Labor World:

Special to Labor World:
ST. PAUL, Dec. 10.-The woman's
department of the state bureau Of
labor has started a crusade here
against young children selling papers
on the streets late at night. 1t is the
first step in a campaign to establish
a higher standard of morality for
children of poor parents who sell pa
pers and shine shoes on the street
and work along the same line will be
started i'm Duluth and Minneapolis mt
once by the state labor bureau.
Before any legal step was taken a
thorough investigation was made by
one of the women agents Of the de-
partment. It was found that mere
babies. five and six years Of age, un-
able to make change, were sent upon
the streets by their parents ostensibly
to sell papers but in reality to beg.
These children invariably remained
upon the down town streets until aft
er the theaters closed and often did
not return home until after midnight
Crying to elicit sympathy was part
Of their stock in trade.
Round Up Five Youngsters.
Five tiny urchins, the eldest 8
years old and the youngest 5, were
rounded up on one corner and taken
home. The parents of all the chill
dren were Russians and in fairly
comfortable circumstances. At one
home the parents were in bed and
the door was left open for the five
year-old child when he returned
from his nights work. At another
house the parents and neighbors wers
found drinking wine and having an
evening of entertainment, while the
parents Of still, another of the chill.
dren lived in an up-to-date apart
ment, Of six rooms.
The children were brought before
the Juvenile court and the parent:
were accused of a violation of thu
parental neglect law in permitting tn,
youngsters to be working on thu
street after o'clock at night The
children were lectured severely ant
ordered to stay off the streets here
after. They are out on probation e

Situation in St. Paul Worse Than
at Head Of Lakes According to
Testimony Of Women Inspectors
of State Labor Bureau.

George v. Fifer, city humane
officer, has assured the state bu-
reau of labor OF his cooperation
in the movement recently inaug-
urated to keep children OF the
street at night, especially those
who. under the guise of selling
papers, carry ON a begging trade.
Mr.. F4fer says that the situa-
ton in Duluth, while possibly
not as serious as In St. Paul, is
bad enough to warrant extreme
measures being taken.
He says that many children
who are not old enough to go to
school are found ON the street at
night selling papers and in many
cases putting up a piteous plea
for aims to every customer. He
will at once institute a more Wig
orous crusade than ever against
the practice and some parents
who have been delinquent in this
regard can expect to feel the
weight of the laws hand.
MIDDLECOFF TO HELP.
Judge J. B. Middlecoc, probate
and juvenile judge of St. Louis
county, when told of the move
ment set on foot by the state bu-
reau, said: "1t's a good thing
and receives my most earnest
support. Duluth cannot afford
to be behind the other large
cities of the state in this regard.
Anything along this line that

Even takes up will get my best

HAND-0AR TOUR

When a bunch of young
students, who have served
three years under the same ba-
ton, are turned loose on Euro
pean railways there will be
trouble. Such was the case
with the members of the St.
Olaf College Band in 1906.
While in Norway the band
was given free use of the gov
eminent special trains, and on
one occasion while going over
a steep grade the Norwegian
"Statsbane" was particularly
slow. This, of course, had to
be remarked upon by the mem
bers of.the band as a joke. The
first flutist, however, offered to
demonstrate the speed. So,
when he spied an exceedingly
bright flower along the right
of way he jumped off a. the
middle of the train, picked the
flower and prepared to catch
the rear end. The cars of the
country are provided with a
small iron gate Oh the steps
and in this case the gate was
closed. The hero commenced
to run along the car, but to no
avail, as he was unable to get
a foothold under the gate.
In the meantime someone
called to the conductor, but he
could not stop the train, as he
had no orders to do 80, but he
wrote an order for a hand car
and threw this at a section
crew which was working near
by.
Three hours later, as the
boys had finished dinner and
were making themselves at
home in little town, a hand
car was seen coming down the
grade towards town with terri
fic speed. With his hair
streaming to the wind, his coat
cap and collar off and working
like a tiger was the demonstra-
tive flute man, accompanied by
a burly section hand. They
had covered some thirteen
miles. The experiment had
failed and everyone praised the
railway service after that with
the exception of one man. At

HURT NEAR CRElLN.
Conductor Albert Dawson Injured By
Log Rolling Over Him.

Last Saturday Albert Dawson, who
resides at Elgon, w. Va, and is en-
ployed by the Kendall Lumber Company
as conductor on the log train over the
Preston Railroad, sustained painful in
juries by being crushed beneath log
which constituted portion of the load
being transported to the mill from the
forests.
The train on which Mr.. Dawson was
conductor was approaching its destina-
ton at Crellin when the boom chains
holding the logs in place on the true s
parted. At the time the injured man
was standing on the top of the logs and
when they rolled from under him he
was pitched to the ground and before
he could regain his feet and get to a
place of safety one of the logs caught
him and rolled over his legs, crushing
them very painfully. DR.. Legge at
tended the injured man and reports
that while he was rather badly hurt his
injuries are not considered dangerous.

Ri. Rev. P j. Donahue, bishop of
Wheeling, is very enthusiastic over the
anti tuberculosis crusade and will lend
his aid and influence to the movement
to suppress it. A tract of 70 acres at
Terra Alta was purchased by the Bishop
last year and since that time he has
been much interested in the idea of
starting sanitarium there for the
treatment of tuberculosis patients. If
the legislature decides to act Bishop
Donahue would be glad if the Terra
Alta tract were found suitable for such
a purpose.
