Wages Increase Of Employees in State.

Wages Increase of Employees in State.
State Labor Commissioner Powers
makes public the work of his depart
ment for the last year in factory in
spection work and the figures given
out show a decided increase in the
number of factories and number of
employees, and an increase in the
daily average wage paid factory en-
ployes.
For the year 1911 there were en-
ployed in factories in Michigan a to-
tai of 35s,742 persons, including Of
flee help, where such help was locat-
ed in the same building with the fac
tory During 1912 the number OF such
employees had been increased TO 404,-
$50, an increase of 44,72S. which is con-
sidered a remarkable increase along
industrial lines and the major portion
of which is credited to the city of
Detroit. The average daily wage paid
factory employees in 1912 amounted TO
1921 daily, an increase over 1911 Of
8 cents a day, the aggregate daily
wages paid being $7S4,108 in 1911, as
compared to $913,376 for 1912, or
nearly reaching the $1,000,000 mark.
There was also an increase of 1,141
factories in the state during the last
year, the number being 1887, as COM
pared to 1856 in 1911. Here, too, De-
troit shows the greatest increase of
any other city.
Not only was there an increase in
the number of factories, employees and
wages paid the employees, but figures
show shorter hours were worked by
the employees. During 1911 the aver
age number of hours worked a day
was 80, while in 1912 the time had
been shortened to 8.5, decrease of
Ia hours day, or making the daily
average only a triie over an eight
hour working day. Factory employees
worked more days a month during
1912 than in 1911, the average num-
Der OF days worked a month in 1911
being 25.5 and 1851 in 1912. The aver
age number OF months worked in 1912
was 116, the same as for the previous
year.
An interesting feature of the mum
Der OF employees engaged in factory
work during the year. was that 304,-
73S OF them were men, there being an
increase in the number of these EN-.
ployes during the year OF 25,246.

yesterday afternoon, and partook to
considerable extent Of sundry liquid

Evans downfall was brought about
through a well planned raid upon the

ignore WATER
FRONT GAMBLING
Eben Low Ayers That He Has
Made Reports Without
Any Results


Open and systematic gambling on
the waterfront has reached the point
of a public scandal and the police re-
fuse to interfere even upon specific
complaint, according to the declara-
ton today Of Former Supervisor Eben
Low.
Mr.. Low stated this morning that
he has personally visited the police
station at least dozen times with
complaints of the dice games that are
running night and day along the wa
terfront, and that no effort Is being
made to stop them. Low further de-
clares that professional gamblers are
operating freely, and that after every
payday there is carnival OF gaming
during which many men lose practi-
cally all of their wages to the sharp
ers who make business of rolling
the bones.
Almost everyday you can see
gangs of from ten to twenty men and
often mere boys gambling on the wa
terfront, particularly at the docks on
the west side of the harbor." said the
former supervisor today IF / have
gone to the police once have gone
a dozen times. At the police station
they say they cant stop these games,
that they can't catch the gamblers,
but that is poppy-cock. have. driven
my machine right into the midst OF q
bunch on the road and dispersed them.
! have watched them on the water
front and they are certainly bold. ]
guess they know they didn't have to
worry ABOUT police interference
81 have a special officers badge
and If could spare the time from
business to arrest and have them
prosecuted I'd like to do 1t. but I have
to be on the ether side OF the island
most of the time when their cases
come up. But / know they can be
caught If Jarrett viii go after them"
Low relates 9 story showing how
the gamblers make use OF the public
highways.
"A few days ago, my son, Woods,
was riding q motorcycle down near the
bitnlithie plant and turning q corner.
He was on the right side OF; the road
and as he turned, there's was q big
bunch Of these gamblers. G. g. Owen,
OF the Hawaiian Fertilizer Company,
was coming from the other direction
in his auto. To avoid running down this
bunch Of gamblers. he had to turn
out, and he struck the motorcycle. My
son had very narrow escape-he
jumped just In time. It WASH tiOwen's
fault, either, obut thes fault of these
gamblers"
The ex-supervisor says that this Is
but one instance Of many where he
has personally seen the games in full
progress.
The reason they run like this Is
that most of the gamblers and the
men who run the game are voters =
he says, "and the police department
is now run for politics.

Plea IS MADE
TO SAFEGUARD
THECH|LDREN

Backed up by an informal opinion
from Deputy City Attorney Weaver
and By Supervisor Pacheco. District
Inspector e. w. Bull Of the board oi
health last night made q strong plea
to the supervisors that immediate
measures be taken to safeguard the
health Of the 600 pupils OF the Wal
pahu school. Inspector Bull, who has
been active in working for cleanup
plans for the school. reported some
days ago that the ,outhouses were in .
dangerous condition and that patent
toilets should be established at once
The outhouses were found to be breed
Ing places for flies.
A survey by the city engineers Of
flee showed that toilets could be in.
stalled and q pipeline laid for about
5000. Last night Inspector Bull ap.
reared before the board to speak Of
the necessity for speedy action. He
made an appeal on the grounds that
pipeline would improve conditions
seventy-five per cent. also that many
old shacks would be voluntarily torn
down II the pipeline were laid in the
OloltlCt, anu IcptuCCu Win ulOuCl ~
buildings. He pointed out the danger
to the school children and the entire
town.
Supervisor Petrie. agreeing with the
inspector that the pipeline is a ne
cessity, and that conditions are de-
plorable. said he was afraid If the line
were laid the municipality would get
into complications with the various
property owners. Replying to this.
Inspector Bull said that the proposed
pipeline win take the place of an
open ditch Of stagnant water and filth.
which has been menace to health
fer many years. Deputy Attorney
Weaver stated his opinion that under
Tue circumstances no complications
would arise. the pipeline only per.
forming in sanitary manner what is
now being done in an insanitary man
ner. Supervisor Pacheco agreed that
action should be taken and suggested
that the work be proceeded with.
Mayor Fern then came in with a
suggestion that the matter be re-
ferred back to the ways and means
committee and to the city attorney for
q more definite opinion.
