an increase of 145 male employees.
~ female and boy. or total
of 1913, making the grand total in

The fifteen special inspections
made by Mr. Warren We're because
Of complaints regarding defective

i01 orders were made for
the safeguarding or correction of /

Mr.. Warren's report shows in
general way that conditions in Ok
l6homa factories and workshops are
very good as regards the protection
Of lives and health of employees.
Very little difficulty has been ex-
perienced in securing the compli
ance OF the factory owners with the
recommendations made by the fac
tory inspector. The required changes
have been made in most cases as
soon as the attention Of the owners
has been callei to the necessity
for them
The number of accidents has in
creased slightly over the previous
year, when the number was 5 fatal
and IL non-fatal, but the increase
Is not as great as the increase in
the number of factories and EN-
ployes, and while the element of
hazard has been decreased as much
as possible TO eliminate the element

and that now practically the only
violations are in heaters and places
OF amusement where travelling CON-
panies including children, have
shown. 1t is stated that managers
and booking agents have been no
| titled TO cease booking attractions
which have children in the cast
but that the law is very hard to
enforce in that particular No pros
ecutions have been found necessary
in the enforcement of that law.
In the matter of motive power

shown that steam is used by 424
electricity by 272, gas and gasoline
by 143, water power by !, while
10 are operated by hand power.
Only 40 per cent of those using
steam power had any boiler in
spection.
Under the heading of accidents, 7
fatal and 40 nOn-fatal accidents
are reported. Most of them are
chargeable to defective machinery
and similar causes. Two of the ia
tai and "A of the non-fatal accidents
resulted from the explosion of a 10
comotive boiler in the Rock Island
shops at Shawnee. No positive cause
for that explosion has been ascer-
tainei. AS result of accidents. the
loss of 1,Si3 days time is shown.
Reports from 100 concerns show a.
average loss of 1S.43 days each and
an estimated loss of s4,SO7.5O in
wages. The report devoted consider
able space to the causes and pre-
vention of accidents, charging that
most of them are due to the igno
rance or carelessness Of either the
employer or the employe.
Woodworking plants are declared
to have the largest number of Sc

RAILROADS AND COAL OPERA
TORS MAY BOYCOTT ORGAN
lZEO LABOR.
By REFUSING UNION COAL
Independent Owners Who Settled
With Strikers in the Southwest
Find TheirProduct Will Not Sell
Higher Prices Paid Elsewhere.

Kansas City, June l3.-lIave the
railroads joined with the coal opera.
tors in the southwest 10 crusl the
coal miners unions in Missouri. Kan
sas and Oklahoma The independent
coal operators and some ol those who
are friendly to the Southwestern Coal
Operators combine say they have.
Charles s. Keith, president of the
Central Coal and Coke Company, the
largest OF the several companies in
the coal combine, refused laSt night
to discuss this feature OF the contro-
yersy with the coal miners. lie Said
it was a "rumor" which he refused 10
affirm or deny?
Some OF the coal dealers say the
railroads now refuse TO buy coal min
ed by Independent operators IN Mis-.
souri,, Kansas and Oklahoma who al.
ready have settled their differences
with the striking union coal miners,
choosing instead to pay mach higher
prices for coal mined in other dis
tricts where non-union labor Il en-
ployed.
Several Independent operators have
opened their mines with union laUol
in the Southern Kansas coal fields
and in Missouri and Oklahoma. Some
of this coal from the Independent
mines has been offered to the rail
roads at much cheaper prices than
the Colorado and Alabama coal The
railroads refused the offer one opera
,or who made such an offer said yes
tcrday. One independent concern
which had no trouble disposing of its
coal to the railroads before the strike
OF the union miners now has to seek
another market for its coal.
The coal operators, headed by the
Central Coal and Coke Company of
Kansas City, will try to begin opera
ton of their mines with non-union
miners June Is. 1t is said that an
effort will be made to employ negro
miners in the mines in Kansas and
Oklahoma. If the coal operators at
tempt this there may be serious trou-
BILE
The great majority OF the union
miners in the southwest are native
Americans, coal operators say. They
are prepared to continue the strike
for several months if the coal opera
tors do not give them the advance in
wages they demand. The operators
have refused to grant the advance and
now seek the assistance of the rail
roads to fight the union coal miners
and any of the independent miners
which employ union labor.
Coal operators who have interests
in the Kansas and Oklahoma coal dis
.ricts say It will be impossible to oper
ate the mines with non.union llhor
so strongly intrenched are the union
miners in the districts.
While the operators and the union
miners are squabbling about the wage
scale the price OF steam coal has
doubled and there has been an ad.
'ance recently of more than 81 a ton
or domestic coal.
