FIRE DESTROYS CLAYTON MILL.
LOSS ESTIMATED NEAR Si2. 900

Fire, of unknown origin, Friday
night destroyed the Clayton Mill and
all its contents. The total loss, ac-
cording to DR.. Charlton, the owner,
is between ten and twelve thousand
dollars, which is only partially cover
ed by insurance. -
The fire was the most spectacular
seen in Clayton for many years. 1.-Two
theories are advanced as to the or
igin of the blaze. The fire originated
in the motor room and may have
been caused by a cross circuit in the
electric wires; or, as there has been
considerable petty thieving going on
in the mill premises, it may have
been dropped match which fell in
to pile of inhamable rubbish.
FThe building and machinery are
a total loss4nd represent a sum of
more than nine thousand dollars.
There was some grain and flour stor
ed in the ware rooms and DR.. Charl-
ton estimates the loss from this
source as nearly three thousand dol
lars.
TThere is little possibility that the
mill will be rebuilt this year. DR..
Charlton stated Saturday morning
that he did not feel able to under
take the task at this time.

of the discussion it developed that
there was to be celebration north

almost impossible TO keep, or to
gather, crowd in clayton for the

This view was held by the ma =

talk of the meeting turned to the say

:D0N 7 TAKE CHANCE
|SLABQR'S SLOGAN
Commissioner of Labor Tells of
Unnecessary Risks Taken by
Workmen.

w. F. Houk, State Commissioner
OF Labor, is conducting a campaign
Of education in behalf OF safety. A
good many serious accidents happen
as a. result of men taking unneces-
sary chances at their work.
r. "As an instance of the foolhardi-
ness of men taking unnecessary
chances" said Mr.. Houk. IAN acct
dent occurred in st. Paul last Satur-
day when two employees engaged in
erecting a building were dangerously
hurt by falling three stories with q
hoist. A third man saved himself by
jumping before the hoist fell.
"The hoist was built to carry ma
terial to the upper floors. The con-
tractor informed all his men that 1t
was not strong enough to carry the
men and specifically forbade any of
them to ride up or down on it.
ION Saturday forenoon, however,
three of the men, one of whom was
the contractors son, in violation of
his instructions, undertook to ride to
the third floor on the hoist. There
We're also two wheelbarrow-loads of
brick on the hoist. The machine went
up much faster than usual and be-
yon the stopping point, struck the
overhead beams, smashed the upper
framework of the hoist and dropped
the hoist, the material and the men
to the first floor. The contractor ex-
pressed the opinion that the engineer
had purposely run the hoist faster
than usual to give the men a scare
and it went up beyond the upper
floor before he could stop. it. If the
latter version is true, then it adds
criminal fecklessness to disobedience
as the cause of the accident.
THE son Of the contractor suf-
fered fracture at the base of the
skull and was unconscious for sew
era1 days. The other man had two
ribs broken and was badly shook up.
1.-THE question keeps recurring-
Why will men take such chances? A
cursory examination would have told
a person of only ordinary intelligence
that the hoist was not constructed to
carry heavy loads and that it was
foolhardy for a man to- ride on 1T.
And after receiving specific instruc-
tions not to ride, but to use the lad
ders to go up and down, It would
seem that the men were willfully
negligent or mentally deficient. .
y when .workmen realize that no
amount Of compensation provided by
the: most. liberal Of compensation
laws will ever repay them for the
wage loss, the medical expenses and
the suffering and agony they endure
because Of their carelessness, then we
may hook for a decrease in the num-
Der Of these accidents.
: : Let us hope that the story, Of this
accident may teach other wofkmen
to be more careful, to- obey instruc--
tons and not to take unnecessary
chances,

VESSEL OWNERS To

Abused Privilege Is Charge-Now
Must Live Up to Every
Provision.

The temporary immunity granted

quirements of the LaFollette seaman's
law, but were unable to do so, has
been withdrawn by Secretary of Com
merce Redfe1d.
In circular deter: issued Marsh Z,
customs officials are instructed not to
issue clearing papers to vessels until
all provisions of the law had been
compiled with, unless express permis-
sion has been granted by the depart
ment. Applications for permission
must be accompanied by a statement
of facts. This was necessitated, ac-
cording to the circular, because the
privilege granted ship owners had
been abused.
s" Evations and violations of the law
are: Shipping without sufficient
number of certified able bodied sea-
men: shipping at small wages for the
first month and at larger for subse-
quent months, and signing crews with
in six hours of the scheduled time Of
departure. The second case is in eva
sion Of Section II, which relates to
the allotment of wages. The third
case evades the opportunity Of filing
swon complaints and calling a muster
of the crew to investigate.
Hereafter, when an attempt has
been made to violate or evade these
provisions q muster of the crew may
be called within the six-hour period,
even when such action delays the de-
parture of the vessel.

LINCOLN WATCHED AND WAITED FOR' >:'~
MEXlCANS TO SETTLE THEIR TROUBLES

When Lincoln faced a. crisis in
Mexico similar, to those which have
confronted Pres. Wilson, his policy
was essentially the same as that. of
President Wilson,. This is proved by.
government records recently brought
to light by Prof. Walter L. Davis, of
the history department of the College
of Puget Sound.
Fifteen years of revolution and out
lawry had brought Mexico to much
the same condition as at present. The
provisional government of President
Benito Juarez, ''the Washington of
Mexico" established itself at the CAPT.
force order. American citizens were
robbed and murdered, and at last even
a member of the American legation
was murdered on his way from Mexico
City to Vera Cruz.
Lincoln ''Watchfully Waits''
Lincoln "watchfully waited" and
indicated his aversion to aggressive
action by appointing as minister to
Mexico the very man who had bitterly
opposed American interference fifteen
years before. He also issued the fol-
lowing instructions to this minister:
For few years past the condition
Of Mexico has been so unsettled as to
raise the question on both sides of the
Atlantic whether the time has not
come when some foreign power ought,
in the general interest of society, to
intervene to establish a protectorate
or some other form of government in
that country and guarantee its con-
tlnuance htere.
"You will not fail to assure the gov
eminent of Mexico that the president
neither has, nor can ever have, any
sympathy with such designs, in what
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1916-03-18

ever quarter they may arise or what
ever character they may take on.
1.-THE president never for a moment
doubts that the republican system is
to pass safely through all ordeals and
prove a permanent success in our own
country, and so to pc recommended
to adoption by all other nations.
But he thinks also that the sys-
tenn everywhere has to make it's way
barrasssments which result from the
action of antagonistical elements
which are a legacy of former times
and very different institutions
THE president is hopeful of the ul-
innate triumph Of this system over all
obstacles, as we'll in regard to Mexico
as in regard to every other American
state: but he feels that those states are
nevertheless justly Untitled to a greater
forebearance and more generous SYM
pathies from the government and peo-
pie Of the United States then they are
likely to receive in any other quarter.
Won't Press Complaints
1.-THE president trusts that your mis-
sion, manifesting these sentiments,
will reassure the government Of Mex
leo Of, his best disposition to favor
their commerce and their internal i'm
prOvements.
Il find that the archives are full of
complaints against the Mexican gov
eminent for violation of contracts and
spoliation and cruelties practiced
against against American citizens. It
is not the presidents intention to send
forward such claims at the present
moment. He willingly defers the per-
Torrance of a duty, which at any
time would seem ungracious. until the
incoming administration in Mexico
shall have time, if possible, to cement
it's authority.

Practically 90 per cent Of tubercu-
other by discharges from the lungs
and throat through the mouth. A
small amount Of disease may be caus-
sores or from milk of infected cattle,
but the overwhelming percentage of
infection is carried from one person
discharged from the mouth and nose.
The Importance, then, of Destroy
ing utterly all such spit is evident to
anyone, especially when it is recalled
that a single discharge of sputum
from an advanced case of tubercu-
losis may carry billions Of germs.
That such spit can easily be destroyed
in ways that will prevent infection, is
also evident.
The germs Of tuberculosis are
easily killed by heat. The most effec-
tive method, therefore, Of handling the
sputum is to have the patient use a
receptacle that can be burned. Paper
sputum cups for this purpose can be
purchased at almost any drug store.
Paper napkins which can be put in a
tervals are also good. Pieces of
cheesecloth or similar cheap material
which can be burned are preferable to
handkerchiefs.
Any consumptive who carefully fol-
lows Interpretations will do much to
keep his disease from spreading to
other members of his family and to
his associates. But besides these, in
order to be safe and to insure against
infection of others, the following rules
should be observed:
Cd Always sleep in a room alone
with plenty of light and air.
ca Cover the mouth with a cloth
