Governor Elect Hits the Trail After
the Elusive Deer.

Sault ste. Marie. Mich, Nov. 12.-
Governor elect Chase S. Osborn has
hit the trail for the tall timbers with
out leaving address or his destination.
While Mr.. Osborn's appearance is that
of a rugged. strong man, II Is known
that the strenuous campaign which he
underwent taxed his strength and that
he Is in need Of a rest, and he there
fore does not desire to be bothered
with other business or political mat
ters for time at least. Mr.. Osborn is
so constituted that he has to keep both
body and mind employed. Just when he
will return home is not known.
The messages of congratulation re-
ceived by Mr.. Osborn by reason of
his election some from all over the
United States and from men occupying
the highest positions OF trust in the
affairs of the United States. A great
many OF them are significant, mas
much as they now treat of him more i'm
the light of n national figure than as
belonging to Michigan alone.

Laws Poorly Enforced.


The general conclusion is that child
labor laws abroad are I'm many essen
tial respects poorly enforced, and that
the penaltits imposed for violations
are ridiculously small and of pract-
cally no deterrent value. The report
gives data indicating that in most of
those countries 1t would be a physical
impossiblity for the inspectors TO do
more than a fractional part of their
work or to do that part thoroughly;
and that the courts are astoundingly
lenient with offenders against labor
laws
In Austria. only one-fourth of the
child workers are employed in estab-
lishments that are inspected annually.
The force IL so inadequate that 1t
would take fffty-nine years to visit
once every establishment subject to
the labor laws. The majority OF the
smaller concerns are never visited.
Child labor In Austria is not regulated
in workshops, i'm household industries
OF. In commercial establishments.
Hence the factory laws, $50 far as they
have reduced child labor at all, have
simply driven II out of the factories
into the homes of the workers. into
small workshops and into establish
ments lying outside the scope of the
labor laws

The resolution adopteu DS INC
chamber asks the governor to modify
the existing quarantine regulations
