BETTER LAWS NEEDED.
State Must Aid Unions to Protect the
Workngman.

John Mitchell, former president of
the United Mine Workers, in Labor
day address at Terre Haute spoke in
favor of better laws for the protection
of workingmen. "a well known
writer" said Mr.. Mitchell, asserts
that 100000 workingmen are killed or
MANNED annually in the United States.
THAT means that more lives are sac
rifced and more Workmen are injured
each year in the peaceful conduct
of our industries than were sacri-
feed in any one year during the Pc
riod of the civil war. 1t means that
more men have been killed and manned
in the coal mines of the United States
alone during the last seven years than
were killed or died as a result of
wounds in the Continental army dur
ing the seven years of the American
Revolution"
Referring to measures for the protec-
ton of workmen in this connection,
Mr. Mitchell said: Our unions have
done much in this direction. They
have rendered yeoman service in pro-
tecting the wage earners, but without
the aid of the state they cannot carry
on to full fruition their objects and
ideals in this respect"

the supreme court of Kansas holds
that business where scrap iron Is
converted. as the evidence showed 1t
was here, into certain specified lengths
and forms suitable to be sold to mills
comes within the statutory definition
of a factory. Furthermore, the pur-
pose of the factory act Is ITO preclude
rowing quest for the meaning of
words" and to give them such a wide
Interpretation as would protect work
ing people from mutlation, physical
deformity. pain. mental anguish and
death occasioned by the absence OF
practical safeguards from the environ
ment Of their toll"
AS for the second defense, the court
holds that the New York decision
proceeds upon the same lines as II the
statute did not exist" and the worker
was protected only by the ordinary
reasonable precautions demanded by
the common law.
The Kansas court feels that such
rulings as that of the New York court
simply "fritter away serious efforts on
the part Of the legislature to secure
factory workers against the barbara
ties Of an industrial system which has
been conducted with amazing prodi-
gality Of human life and limb"

ACCIDENTS IN INDUSTRY.
Responsibility For Injury to Workers
Hard to Place Definitely.

In one year 526 men were Killed by
accidents Of employment in Allegheny
county, Pa, 1876 steel workers, 10 rail-
readers. II miners and 1876 miscellane-
GUS workers, including housesmiths,
carpenters. electric linemen, elevator
men, teamsters and quarrymen. VI
these nearly half were American born,
70 per cent were workmen Of skill and
training, and so per cent were under
forty years Of age.
An analysis of these fatal accidents
according to personal responsibility
showed roughly this result: For 30 per
cent of the accidents no one was re-
sponsible, for 80 per cent the workman
killed or his fellow workmen was re-
sponsible, for 80 per cent the employer
or some one representing him In po-
sition of authority was responsible,
and for 10 per cent both employer and
workman were responsible.
While sometimes the workman's
carelessness is exasperating needless
ness, oftener it is ignorance or mat
tention, due to long hours and intensi-
ty of work or recklessness inevitably
developed by a trade which requires
daring. While sometimes the employ
er's carelessness is deliberate disre-
gard for safety in the construction OF
his plant, oftener it is the human frail-
ty of his agents. the hasty mistaken
orders of foremen or the putting off OF
necessary repairs from day to day so
as not to delay the game-an ordinary
outcome of competition. In short, one
must conclude that these accidents sell
dom can be laid to the direct personal
fault of any one. They happen more
or less inevitably in the course Of in
dustry.-Survey.

Labor Court In Germany.

The judiciary system of the German
empire has been extended. and a
branch has been created with juriSdic-
ton only in matters pertaining to the
compensation of injured workingmen.
The highest court is the court of ap-
peals and consists Of seven members,
one of whom is an employer and an
other an employee. They are learned
in the law, and three are representa-
tives Of the government. Trials before
the court of industrial insurance are
conducted by laymen. The laborer is
represented by a workingman. usual
ly the secretary of trade union. In
all appeal cases the injured laborers
are represented by an international
labor secretary for that purpose. He
is Herman Muller, photographer, with
headquarters in Berlin.

caused by low wages, lack of employ
ment, lack of training on the part of
the workers and insanitary tenements
and work places. The city has to pay
the cost resulting from these condl-
lions.
"Only about one-fifth of the workers
in the city belong to unions, the great
department stores, recent immigrants
and casual laborers not being members
of any union. 1t is important from
the city's point of view-that is, to
conserve the health and efficiency of
the workers of the city-that all should
be protected in respect to their condi-
tions of labor.
The labor unions of the city have
accomplished great good in securing
better conditions for their members.
1t has been proved throughout the CIV
ilized world that the individual work
man cannot secure these conditions by
himself and that unions or the princi-
pie of collective bargaining is neces-
sary to protect the workman from ex
ploitation. Most of the strikes in
New York city have had the object of
securing recognition of the union or
the closed shop, a living wage, reason
able hours, proper sanitary conditions
in workshops and immunity from I'M
just discrimination and harassing
treatment of workers.
ITO secure what government should
insure to the workers, whether organ
lied or unorganized, the workers have
gone on strikes, which have every year
been costly in the loss of human life,
bodily injury to hundreds, interruption
and diSlocation of business and loss of
wages and business aggregating many
Millions of dollars every year in the
city, besides engendering bitterness be-
tween employers and workers.
This has been inevitable with the
present lack of an authoritative body
to act as intermediary between the
workers and employers and to give
adequate publicity to the actual condi-
tions-a publicity which would be
great corrective of existing evils"

SPECTACLE or POWER.
Thoughts Evoked by the Parade Of
labor's Hosts In New York.

Under the caption Greatest of La.
Dor Day PROFESSIONS the New York
American comments as follows on the
Labor day parade in that city:
In spite of the unreasonable heat the
Labor day parade in this city yester-
day was a record breaker.
Hour after hour the lines of high
spirited men and women with bands
and banners passed down the main ar
terry of the town, until the tally of
marchers ran far beyond half hun
dred thousand
1t was impossible for one to witness
such spectacle-showing, as 1t did,
the unity and fraternity of the work
ers of New York-without rejecting
upon the vast social power that was
represented there.
1t was felt that these were no holt
day soldiers, but the true and tried con-
scripts of the perpetual war that civil
lization Is waging against hunger and
heat and cold and all the other enc
mics OF physical existence.
The hosts of labor marshaled into
such gigantic army suggest and fore
show the coming of time when there
shall be no armies save those of indus
try and when the republic will be
better organized than it is today for
the raising of the general standard of
living
The constitution of the American COM
monwealth is the greatest of all labor
unions. 1t Is the union into which all
other unions must finally be merged.
In the working out of this merger
the patriotic and magnanimous forces
or organized labor have a leading po-
litical part to play.
The government belongs to them in
common with the rest of the American
citizenship, and the courts as they
stand are their courts, created and
maintained by their arms and with
their consent to uphold the liberty and
humanity for which they strive.

WON MANY BENEFITS.
Terms on Which Cloakmakers Return
ed to Work.

ed to Work.
After nine weeks of fierce struggle
the cloakmakers have returned to
work. The strike involved $4,000 toll
ers, 10000 men and 10000 women.
The union is victorious in large de-
gree. Higher wages and better hours
are obtained, sanitary conditions in
the workshops are guaranteed, and
many petty grievances have been OBJ
waited under the agreement reached.
But the union fails to get complete
recognition. There is a guarantee that
union standards will be maintained
and union men and women preferred
when workers are hired, but nonunion
workers are to labor side by side with
them without objection from the union
as long as such workers are paid union
wages.
The agreement provides for a six day
week. nine hours a day. except the
sixth day, which shall be only five
hours, for wages ranging from $40 to
S25 a week and for higher rates for
piece workers.

worker is to be paid as soon as the
work is examined and pronounced sat

sonable time. Payments are always to

Wages Paid by krupps.

Compared with the wages paid
American workmen, the scale in
Krupps is very low. but compared
with other German industries the
wages are high. The average wage Is
$l.35 a day. However. the COST OF
living is low The bread for the entire
community Is made In one bakeshop.

liked price. and III the end OF the year
a rebate Is given TO the purchaser &C
cording to the amount bought. Inc
Krupps manage the bakery. but they
are perfectly satisfied to make their
profits on iron and steel. and they give
their employees the benefit OF getting
the best of bread at absolute cost. IL
may be said In passing that employees
are not compelled to patronize the base-
shop.

the worker and his family are apt TO
