Ulcers Of the department, the number
of persons in the establishments pass

ments there were 1854 male minors
and 1903 minors for lack of proper
certificates and sixty-five for being un-
der age, while six were sent away be-
cause Of illiteracy. The inspection
work covered many classes of estab-

plants employing 213,747 persons; g.
$50 metal working plants employing
412, DOL; 4,052 bakeshops, 283 apart

WOULD REPEAL
FULL CREW LAW

Albany, April "a delega" N of
railroad presidents has asked State
officials to aid them in repeal g the
full crew law of 1918, which Il vides
that an extra man must be en- Logged
on trains of certain length. T . rail-
road officials declare this a w steful
expenditure of money, and not { meas
ure of greater safety, because the
money expendedon wages could be
placed to better advantage In t pro-
curing Of safety appliances and there
by benefit the public in general. It
is further urged that the State Public
Service Commission would have pow
er to force the employment of addl-
tional brakemen whenever necessary
Similar action is taken by railroad
officials in other States, and a combin-
ed assault is being made on full crew
bills. The railroad brotherhoo(Ss are
opposing the plan, and it is hardly
possible the plea of economy made by
the railroads will prove successful
The workers say the law was made
necessary in this State because of in
action by the Public Service Commits
sion in insisting on crews sufficient
ly large to handle trains with safety.

TO JUDGE
SAFETY CONTEST

Washington, April 9.-vice Presi-
dent Marshall Speaker Clark, Secre-
tary of Agriculture Houston, Secre-
tary Wilson and President Gompers,
of the A. r. of L., are included in the
list of commissioners who have been
selected to award prizes in safety
invention contest. A local attorney
has offered $1,000 for the three best
devices that viii prevent accidents
resulting in the loss OF life or the con-
traction Of vocational disease. The
prizes are intended to stimulate in
Ventive genius to the invention of prac-
teal machinery and devices that will
eventually minimize the loss of life
and limb in the great manufacturing
centers of the country. The forma-
ton of the commission is an out
growth of the Bremmer bill, now be-
fore the Senathe, and which recently
passed the House without opposition,
creating in the Department of Labor
a bureau of labor safety. The bin Is
now before the Senate committee on
education and labor, Of which Senator
Hoke Smith is chairman, and favor
able action is expected this week. The
law is the result Of agitation by the
American Federation Of Labor. At

MINIMUM WAGE
LAW UPHELD

Salem, Greg, April Sine State
Supreme Court has upheld the law
empowering the Industrial Welfare
Commission to fix wages and hours
of women employees on the ground
that it is within the police power of
the state to provide for the health,
morals and welfare of its people. OPP
Hponents of the law claimed that it was
unconstitutional because the legisla-
0ture had no right to delegate it's pow
Hers to others. The court answered
that the police power of the state was
not denied, and in the enforcement of
that power it was compatible with the
constitution of the state as it now
reads to dictate the terms and condi-
lions under" which labor shall be per
formed. The case came up in Port
land, following the action of the In
ldustrial Welfare Commission fixing
the hours of women employees in Port
land manufacturing establishments at
nine hours day or fifty-four hours a
week, and a minimum wage of 1854
a week, ~

During the year 49,, about 25, 900
industrial accidents were reported to
the commission, yet this astounding
figure does not include the thousands
who are injured in agricultural pur-
suits. OF this enormous number over
$4,000 were cases in which death or
disability for more than one week had
resulted. The total loss in wages, to
say nothing Of the misery, poverty, and
suffering caused by those thousands
OF accidents, was approximately 3d.
100000. This Is an enormous sacrifice
for the State of California to make for
its Industrial accidents. This cost is
borne almost solely by the working
men, and their families, as is shown
by the tact that the average period
OF disablmeent in those cases where
the disability was only of q temporary
nature, was slightly more than twenty
six days, almost a month, and yet for
their injury, the workingmen receiv-
ed on an average the magnificent sum
of "a; for a death but 1913 was paid
on the average, although in 40 per
cent OF all death cases there were
three persons dependent upon the
killed man.
approximately one-half Of these &C.
cidents canbe prevented through the
proper safeguarding of machinery and
the use Of ordinary safety devices.
At the present time the Industrial Ac-
cident Commission is actively engag-
ed in a Safety First" campaign. The
cost of the remaining so per cent of
accidents which seemingly cannot be
should be borne by the In
dustry itself which cripples its work
ers. This is the object of the CON-
pensation act as passed by the last
legislature.
The above facts prove more con.
clusively than any amount OF argu-
ment that California is wise In follow
ing the example of all civilized coun-
tries Of Europe and Of twenty-five |
States Of the union in adopting a sat

ANNUL CONTRACT

Hamilton. Ontario, April 9.-The
Trades and LaBsr ouncil has induced
the city council to reject the decision
of the city commissioners who had
favored contracting with nonunion
firm Of Sarnia, Ontario, for brass
castings which would amount to sew
-eral thousand dollars. A delegation
of unionists waited on the Board of
Aldermen and showed them the, false
economy of saving few dollars at
the expense OF workers and home
owners in this city who are striving
to. better conditions. Their plea was
successful, and a resolution to favor

Grand Rapids, Mich, April 9.-Or-

adoption by the city of an eight-hour
charter amendment, which Establishes
the shorter work day on all city work,
whether done by the municipality or
by private contractors. Nremen, po-
licemen, and election officials are ex-
empt. The campaign was energetical-

Labor Council and committees were
appointed to visit the various unions

vote was the largest cast in recent

clare1 that he had no quarrel with any

their own opinions on business condi-

contended that systematic circulation

open to criticism" Just why there
should be objection to organized or

against a course of action that is driV-
ing him to ruin. but would gladly join
with others in making this protest II

"PsychoIoaicaI" Spring Water

Tile march of progress, as demon
ed in excavating for the new subway,
has smashed belief cherished for
many lars by persons in the lower
part of New York City who long pat
roni7ed an old town pump" which up
to five or six years ago stood on the
sidewalk in Trinity place. The story
was that the pipe of the old pump tap
ped buhbling spring from which
came the best and purest water in
New York The shovels and picks of
the subway makers disclosed that the
former summers of city water, who
travelled from far and near to quaff
the refreshing we'll water. alleged by
many to possess medicinal properties,
had drunk of the same kind of water
as they could have obtained from any
tap in the city. In other words, the
patrons of the pump drank psyche
logical spring water, but they didn't
know it. Just below the surface the
diggers unearthed the top of a round
wooden pump which ran down several
feet, its sucker" end standing in an
old water trough. The trough was
connected by a pipe with the city
mains and was equipped with a valve
that automatically shut off the flow
when the trough filled. The watering
trough originally stood on the surface
but it was covered to a depth of about
three feet when the street was raised
in 1871, 1t was then that the wooden
pump was installed Folks for many
blocks around refused to drink any
other water, and office boys from the
tall buildings were kept busy on hot
days trotting to the old pump for their
employers.

on the summer evening when the

voices joined in such fine old songs as
The Old Oaken Bucket My Old

male chorus sang the solo parts OF
many songs. the verses of which were
