Labor Department

Roscoe A. Eddy, commissioner of labor
and industry, was at his Office at the
State House Thursday after q few days
visit at his home in Bar Harbor, arriving
in Augusta Wednesday night. Mr.. Eddy
reports that the department is laying a
good foundation for some valuable Stats
tics in the matter Of information concern
ing the number of women employed in
mercantile establishments in the State of
Maine. The work Of collecting the sta
tistics is going on all over the State and
Is bringing in great mass Of material.
Nothing of the kind had ever before
department was utterly at a loss for in
formation, either as to number or condi-
tons. If asked about the number of wo-
men and girls employed in the textile es-
adjustments Of Maine, the department
could give exact and a variety of facts
and figures, but the women in the shops
and stores of our towns and cities had
never been sized up. 1t is not surprising
therefore that the commissioner and his
assistants were astonished to find in nu-
merous stores as many as It's female en-
ployes and in one Portland department
store was found a total of 2i0.
These statistics will make the founda-
ton. as Mr.. Eddy styles it, for future
work along this line and will be valuable
to whoever continues it.
Deputy Commissioner H. NJ. Donnelly
is at work on the same matter over in
Penobscot and Piscataquis counties.

Mans Own Fault in
The VIM. Fourier Death

The Public Utilities Commission has
made the following report in the
matter of the death on June 26 last of
VIM. Fourier at Hallowell:
: 1.-The body Of William Fournier, both
feet severed at the ankle, one wrist
broken and skull badly crushed, was
found between the rails Of the west

June rs. 1916, by John Dupont. a river
driver, on his way to work.
"A prompt investigation by a repre-
sentative Of this department. partially
in conjunction with the county author
tiles, failed to disclose any evidence of
fault on the part Of the railroad COM
pany, or Of anyone save Fourier him
self. No ono was found who saw the
accident and its exact time cannot be
told.
These facts however. were developed
by the investigation. Fourier went to

Railroad Not Blamed
in Cox. Moran Deaths

The Public Utilities Commission
Thursday rendered a decision in the
matter of the accident on June 10, 1916,
on the premises Of the Boston & Maine
Railroad resulting in the death Of Err
nest w. Cox and Blanche Moran at
West Scarboro station. The decision
follows:
Ernest w. Cox, aged IS years, of Bos-
ton. and Blanche Moran, aged % years.
of Dorchester, Mass, about to cross the
track Of the Boston & Maine Railroad
by automobile, at West Scarboro Sta
ton, at 40 P. NJ. June 10. 1916. re-
ceived injuries caused by their automo-
bile coming in contact with Passenger
Train No. Al, Boston to Portland, from
which Cox died the following day, and
Miss Moran on the 21st Of June.
The station agent had seen the auto
mobile approaching when it was about
400 feet from the crossing, and waved
a flag for the occupants to stop. He
believes that they did not see him until
they were close upon the track.
Careful investigation fails to disclose
any fault upon the part of the railroad
company or of it's employees, and we
find that the accident was due entirely
to the negligence of Mr.. Cox in driving
upon the track in face of the approach
ing train when he had ample opportu-
nifty to see it if he looked at all.
