New York City Officials Reports
on Loss of Life at
Recent Cave-ins.

NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-Commis-
sioner o. Accounts Leonard Wallstein
has made an official repor, to Mayor
Mitchell in which the construction
company is blamed for the two recent
subway cave-ins that resulted in the
loss Of many lives and the injury of
over 100 persons. The report states
the timbering consisted "of combi-
nation of wood and steel loosely con-
structed," placed in such, positions
that 1.-The knocking out of any post
below the steel or any steel beam
was sufficient to collapse the whole
structure:''
''As 20 the physical causes Of the
accidents, my conclusions as to both
is that the progressive collapses of
roadway were due to inadequate sup
porting structure beneath the sur
face"
The Central Federated Union, repre-
senting organized labor in this city,
had previously declared the accidents
were caused by cheap labor and to
the "greed avariciousness and GRIM
inal carelessness of contractors and
city officials alike"

James Kirby Was Near and Dear
to Local Union Had Many
Friends Here.

James Kirby, late. president Of the
United Brotherhood . of Carpenters
and Joiners, whose death is reported
this week, was. we'll known to Duluth
and Superior union labor men. Mr..
Kirby made several visits to the Head
of the Lakes, coming first to Duluth
during the building trades lockout in
the fall of 1907. He at that time re-
manned here several weeks, and ad-
vised with local leaders about the
conduct of the lockout.
His sterling qualities won for him
hosts of friends among union men
and contractors. He was then serv-
ing as president Of the Structural
Building Trades Alliance, from which
office he resigned to become head of
the carpenters, succeeding William
Huber. MIR. Kirby's home at the time
of his demise was in Indianapolis, the
headquarters of the United Brother
hood. although he claimed Chicago al
his legal residence.
Duluth Carpenters union, Local No.
361, will pass appropriate resolutions
of sympathy for their late chief at
the regular meeting to be held Tues
day evening. These will be forwarded
to the family of the deceased, to the
headquarters of the United Brother
hood, and a. copy will be furnished
the newspapers.

To MAKE ARKANSAS
PEN MORE HUMAN

LITTLE ROCK. Ark, Oct. ia
special committee appointed by Gov
ernor Hays to inve stigate the Arkan-
sas penal system has made a report
in which is included several import
ant recommendations.
1t is urged that a reasonable amount
Of stationery and postage be furnished
each prisoner; that bedding be more
closely looked after; that more soap
and towels be supplied; that bake
ovens be built at each convict camp;
that the cooking and serving Of food
be carefully watched; that the supply
of home grown food stuffs be in
creased and that prisoners be worked
no longer than ten hours a day.
It was found that but one physician
looks after 1900 men and women at
seven camps and the committee rec
ommends that complete hospital
be maintained at administration head
quarters, with emergency hospitals at
each camp.
Bath houses in each camp of 200
prisoners is favored, and it is urged
that stockades or bunk houses erected
in the future should be of masonry
high enough for three scores of
hunks, which should be made of steel
pipe, and all structural parts of stock
AIDES should be fire proof and vermin
proof.

, WASHINGTON, Oct. 1s.-The ma

The Constitutional folks, through
David Jayne Hill, chairman, insists
that their Organization, is educational

Judson King, of the national popular

The direct legislation official con-
tinues:
I'VE are pleased that you now def

Your declaration to the effect that

of government will interest, if not
astonish,. the American people. It IL
paramount to saying that the real
sovereignty Of this nation lies not in
the people but In the constitution,
which is supposed to be an instru-

good enough to inform us who, then,
is to designate, and by what process

Your attitude forces us to the be.

They Have Il Coming to Them.
Salaries Not in Keeping With
Important Work.

Duluth police want more money and
there is no reason why the city COM
missioners should not comply with
their request. The men who walk the
beats and look after the safety of the
community during the busy time OF
the day and the quite hours Of the
night receive too little compensation
for their labor and the risk they run
to make the city safe. . ~.
1t is. four years since. the pay OF
the local police was increased. In
1911 each patrolman was granted an
increase Of $500 a month. Since that
time the cost of living has continued
to shoot skyward and the police feel
that they should receive higher SAL
aries commensurate with increased
living expenses. ;"
1t is said that the. police. of Duluth
receive lower salaries than are paid
to the police Of St. Paul and Mime
apolis, in spite of the fact that the
cost of living in Duluth is higher than
in most cities. Men must wear heav-
Ter and more expensive clothing for a
LONGER period in Duluth than even
in st. Paul and Minneapolis.
All things taken into consideration
warrant the commissioner to find a
way to give the policemen deserved
increase in wages. The large amount
of traffic on our streets has tended
to call for higher standard OF .ef-
ficiency from policemen. Every Du-
luthian should be proud Of the faith
fulness Of the ".boys in blue" who
guard the lives of the men, women
and children who are Obliged to
cross busy thoroughfares congested
with a continuous running back and
forth of street cars jitneys, automo-
biles, auto trucks and other vehicles
If no other way can be found to pro-
vide the money for the proposed in
crease in salaries, the commissioners
would be justified in exactins it from
the owners of vehicles who use the
streets in such large numbers and
cause the Increased requirement and
a higher efficiency demand from po-
lice officers. :
The proposed demand will not in
crease the city budget over $500 q
year. Surely the commissioners can
find a way to raise this amount OF
money.

[! ] ! PRESIDENT
Associated Charities Begins New
Year With Much Promise.
TO Inform People. y

= :
The new board Of, directors of the
Associated. Charities met for the first
time at the Commercial club Monday
year were elected, Mr.. e. A. Silber-
stein was unanimously urged to again
serve as president. He stated that he
believed it was time to inject new
blood into the organization;> that a
new man might do moro to inspire
the confidence of the people in the
organization, but the board Of direct
ors believed otherwise. The members
recognized the great interest Mr.. Sill
bernstein has taken in the work and
the large amount OF time he gives to
the duties of the office, and they
would not listen to his request for
the election Of new president.
Miss Edna Meeker was also re-
elected secretary. No associated
charities in the United States has a
more efficient secretary than we in
Duluth have in Miss Meeker. She is
on the job early and late and her life
is given to the great work she has
undertaken.
Carroll F. Graft was reelected
treasurer. Mr.. Graft is a very busy
man and few people know how much
Of his time is required in raising mon
ey to finance the. Duluth Associated
Charities in order that it may conduct
it's great work. Mr.: Graft will be as
sisted by an Exceedingly energetic
finance committee.
w. E. McEwen was reelected vice
foiy
his purpose to visit all the community
| and neighborhood clubs in the city
during the fall and winter for the
purpose of explaining to the people
the main objects and functions Of the
Associated Charities. Many people do
not understand why it is that so much
| money received by the organization Is
| paid for administration.
| Associated Charities is the clear.
ing house of the several charity and
relief societies in the city. There are
many people,, almost too many, in a
constant state of dependency who
pray upon several relief socities at a
time, and no one. of these organiza-
tons would be aware of what the
other was doing if it were not that
such an institution as the Associated
Charities existed. It's function is to
see that every worthy person is given
relief and the unworthy ones are
Weeded out. It aims to help men and
women in a way that they will learn
to help themselves.
The Labor World urges it's readers
to- study we'll the work of the Duluth
Associated Charities before passing
criticism upon it,.
