Seats for Female Clerks-Powers

AMENDMENTS SUGGESTED

Twenty-elght mercantile establish
recent inspection made by an agent OF
the Bureau of Labor unprovided with
seats. as required by law. In some in
stances, says the annual report OF
Commissioner Doherty, the employers
claimed that the women clerks were
allowed tho privilege of using tho seats
provided for customers In front of the
counter when tho employees were not
engaged, and In other instances they
were provided with boxes upon which
they could rest.
The ambiguity surrounding the ea-
listing law on the subject impes the
suggestion by the bureau that the
State adopt the law now prevailing iii
New York, the provisions of which are
Enthusiastically clear. This law states
that "chairs, stools or other suitable
seats shall be maintained In mercan-
tile establishments for the uso or fe-
male employees therein, to the number
of at least one seat for every three fe-
males employed, and the use thereof
by such employees shall be allowed at
such times and to such extent as may
be necessary for the preservation OF
their health.
IF the duties OF the female en-
p1oyes, for the use Of whom the seats
are furnished, are to be principally
performed In front OF a counter, table,
desk or fixture, such seats shall be
placed in front thereof; if such duties
are to be principally performed behind
such counter, table, desk or fixture,
such seats shall be placed behind the
Same'
Sentiment ImDrOy1nE,
For the most part the inspections
showed that the law was being COM
piled with. Taking all departments OF
labor. the inspections during tho year
were ESQ, covering practically the en-
tiro State where attractions of labor
laws would be likely to occur The
bureau thinks that the fact of inspec-
sanitary conditions, and wherever the
inspectors have made suggestions for
Iapproved sanitation the propretors
| have acknowledged the wisdom of the
! suggestions, and in many instances
| adopted them forthwith.
More powers are asked for, atten-
| ton being called to the fact that no
laws exist giving the bureau control
over sanitation. The terms of the act
| give power of inspection only. and the
| remedy must come from the General
| Assembly to vest the control of this
| su b1ect in this or some coordinate de-
| partment. Furthermore, in many
plants inspected dangerous machinery
was not safeguarded with tho care
that obtains In other States, and the
bureau thinks 1t would be we'll for
the General Assembly to take some
action looking to the protection of life
and limb. for which there Is no resto-
| ration.
Besides, while 105 inspections OF
mines and furnaces were made, there
exists no law on the statute books
bearing on the regulation of mining.

for the dissolution Of the Standard OIL
Company, which is soon to be reargued,
was instituted. The last of the lotteries
was driven from the country.
Labor and the entire country benefited
from the appointment of the anthracite
coal strike commission. The threatened
coal famine was averted, and the value of
public opinion and the square DEAL in
the settlement of a strike was demon
strated.
Labor also benefited through the enact
ment of laws compelling all railroads en-
gagged in interstate commerce to equip their
rolling stock with safety appliances. the
passage of an employers liability act
model child labor law for the District Of
Columbia and a measure making the gov
ernment responsible for injuries to its en-
ployes received while in the performance
of their duties.
Finding graft in the Postoff1ce Depart
ment and fraud in the settlement of the
public lands, he started a housecleaning.
The investigation OF the public land frauds
resulted in the recovery of 100000 for the
government, the assessment of fines
amounting to $500 and the cancellation of
fraudulent titles to ITS acres OF public
lands.
The Panama Canal IS one of the monu-
ments TO Mr.. Roosevelt's activity. Forest
reserves were increased from 46, 1910 acres
to lS, 500 900 acres by his pen and at his
desire. This gain in area included 27OO0,
GOO acres in Alaska and $3.50 acres in Porto
Rico. The revenues from the reserves grew
from $4,000 in 1906 to more than Sl.S42, 900
in the fiscal year ending in 1903.
The navy was strengthened by the ad-
dition OF thirteen new battleships, ranging
in size from 1900 tons 10 26,OO0 tons Many
ships of other types were built Naval
bases were established at Pearl Harbor
Hawaii, Olongapo, the Philippines and
Guantanamo. Cuba. Target practice Yas
highly developed, and the greatest Ameri-
can feet ever assembled made a historic
world encircling cruise.
The army was increase from 800 Of
fcers and 5000 enlisted men to 4.473 officers
and So. go men. The coast artillery was or
ganized as a distinct corps and increased
from 1900 to 2O,0O0 men. while great prog
ress was made In establishing and equip
ping coast defences. Man9uvre camps
were held. and the state militia was made
part Of the national army.
And last, but by no means least. the ma
tional Red Cross was reorganized, Okla
homa was admitted 100000 acres of arid
land were reclaimed by irrigation. great

The relations with South America were

can states were brought together in a peace
conference in Washington. This resulted
in the establishment Of an arbitration tri-
bunal and averted al least one prospective
