in the stove exploded first, and al
most Immediately there was a second
explosion, the can of oil still held by

SLAVE
FOR LONG Hours
New York Factory Commits
sion Makes Report of
Awful Conditions.

Albany, N. Y, Feb. 13.-How chill
dren of tender years slave for hours
in canning sheds with their blistered
fingers wrapped in rags. and likewise
in tenements. making toys. flowers
and plumes; and how women toll
sometimes for mere pittances in indus
trial establishments in this state is
graphically described in the report Of
the New York state factory investigat-
ing commission. which was submitted
to the legislature yesterday. The re-
port says that Gamers operating in
the state child labor law "because they
never have to-" The "emp.o .oyment Of
mere babies" the commission holds.
has been the result. and it adds that
of 1859 children found at work in
thirty-three sheds the eoldest was ii
years old and the youngest was 8.
Many of the Gamers. the report
explains. are opposed to the employ
ment of children and half of them
do not resort to 1t. but "as the cam
ming industry is largely devoted to the
exploitation of foreigners the parents
of the children make them work"
or women workers the report says:
mo woman can work from sixteen
t otwenty-one and one-half hours a
day for weeks. in some cases even
months. without permanent injury to
her health. Yet women are doing just
this thing in the upstate canneries. in
binderies and other factories. and in
the shops during the six weeks Christ
mas rush. In the large canneries. the
work keeps up pretty r. ularly dur
ing a season of four or five months.
A week of S5.S4--in one case 119A
working hours--is not followed by
week of compartive rest, but by anoth-
er almost as had. And the pay aver
ages ten cents an hour"
The commission recommends the
creation Of an industrial board with
power to make regulations to ht ev-
cry industry.

played into the hands of Presidents
Pierce and Buchanan and the reac-
organization Of which he and
they We're parts.
'In Idaho the result was as grave a
of Justice at the election
as had already occurred at the nom
mating convention, and the court be-
came the most potent instrument in
this denial of justice. This decision
! hold to have been an outrage upon
the people of Idaho. and not merely
upon them but upon the people of
all the United States for any inter-
can In any state to cast his vote and
to have it counted for the president
of his choice is an offense against the
Americans of all the states.
Would Have Been Progressive.
II think the result of the vote
showed that If we had been given our
electoral vote would have been in the
progressive column. The action Of
the reactionary court. taken in COM
bination with the action Of the repub-
lican machine, resulted in the depriva-
ton of the right of the people of
Idaho to express their choice for
president.
abraham Lincoln said that he be-
lieved the Dred Scott decision repre-
sented a conspiracy against liberty
between the then supreme court and
the leading officers of the reactionary
party to which that supreme court
belonged. believe that with even
more Justice Abraham Lincoln II alive
today would make the same statement
about the action of the reactionary
court of Idaho in connection with tn.
reactionary leaders of the republican
machine Of Idaho.
