.FuRUSETA OBJECTS
. T0PHYS|CAL TEST
Protest Against q; Emasculating
Law Whereby Able Sailors
Are Deprived Of Jobs.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-A tele.
gram was received at the Department
Of Commerce from Andrew Furuseth
president OF the International Sea-
mems Union, at San Francisco. who
worked for 1S years for the enactment
Of the new seamen's law, protesting
against recentdecisions OF an examin-
ing board at that port.
The seamens' law provides that sea-
men applying for places aboard
American vessels shall be subjected to
strict physical examination. The gov
eminent, in preparing regulations con-
trolling such examinations, adopted
81 lndards used in all marine services
and prescribed by the public health
service of the United States.
Furuseth cited the case of q sea-
man with one eye, who was rejected
by the examining board at San Fran
cisco. He cited: also the case OF a
seaman who had lost two fingers on
his right hand. This case also was
rejected by the board, Furuseth
urged that both men were fully quail
flied to act as seamen and that their
disabilities should be overlooked.
Acting Secretary Sweet wired Furu-
seth that the department had adopted
general rules governing examinations
and that certiftcation for the employ
ment of seamen could not be issued
except on recommendation of the sur
geons employed in particular cases
Furseth's complaint against the sea-
mems law is the first that has come
from organized labor.

CONGRESS TO FIGHT
INDUSTRIAL REPORT
Some Members Will Fight Print,
ing Of Federal Relations
Commission.

WASHINGTON, Nov. lS,-strong
opposition against the printing of the
report of the industrial relations COM
mission is expected in the coming
congress. Already standpat Republi-
can members Of the house have indt-
Gated that they will fight any at
tempts to spread the report. On the
other hand, the labor union and their
friends in the house are preparing
to fight for the widest publicity for
the report, even though one section
of it is defense OF the employing
class.
The results Of the report have been
made public, but the report itself has
received but little circulation. Which
tn commission got through with its
labors it had a little money left which
was used for, printing about: 1000,
copies Of the report for members Of
congress and other interested per-
sons. ':.-. ="
But it will take several thousand
copies to satisfy the requests for the
report that have already been made,
and the authority of congress is
needed before an appropriation to
publish the document can be OBJ
tanned.

INDIANA HITS HARD AT

JEFFERsoNVILLE, Ind, Nov. 10.
by organized labor has
induced the board of trustees of the
Indiana reformatory to take over the
foundry Of the Indiana Manufacture
Ing company, which has long been
established in that institution.
The company:s contract expired the
hrst OF the month. Hereafter the
foundry will be operated by the state
as a trade school, and it's product
will be sold to other state institutions
and political Subdivisions of the state.
The manufacturing company gener-
ally had a contract for 500 or 600
convicts at fixed price per capita,
but the act of 1905 did away with
contract labor and a new contract
was made for five years, renewable
Tor similar periods, under which the
state employed the foreman, owned
the material and sold the product at
piece prices to the company, which
owned the plant.
