BILL IS SLAP
At LOAN SHARKS
Representative Greene Would
Regulate Leaning Of Money
in Three Large Cities.

The bill presented in the house of
representatives last week by Thomas
J. Greene of st. Paul to. regulate the
matter of loans on salaries or earn
ings is a direct slap at the "loan
sharks" and is being scrutinized
eagerly by their representatives. Du-
luth hit the same craft quite blow
some years ago when the Duluth
Remedial Loan association was
formed, and it is believed that that
movement, which has been a distinct
success, was a harder blow to the
'loan shark" industry at the Head of
the Lakes than any other movement
that has ever been aimed at it.
The Greene bill regulates the loan
ing of money in the three large cities
of the state for sums of $500 and
less, and all engaged in the business,
except banks, trust companies, build
ing and loan associations and pawn
brokers', must obtain a license from
the city clerk, costing $50, if the in
terest to be charged is more than 10
per cent a. year. A bond of $1,000
must be furnished the state.
The borrower may be charged 3
per cent a month if the loan Is for
not more than 500; and 2 per cent
if the loan is between $1O0 and $500
Violations of the law would bar the
creditor from collecting either prin-
cipal or interest on the loan.

BOYCOTT HELD:T0
Be NOT UNLAWFUL
Michigan Judge Rules That "Un-
fair List May Be Pub
lished.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Feb. H.
Judge John Mcdonald of the circuit
court has dissolved a temporary in
Junction against trade unionists ad-
Vertislng an unfair business man, and
has ruled that 1.-The principle is we'll
settled that if loss to an employer re-
suits from a peaceful assertion by
workmen Of their right it is a damage
without a remedy"
Ernest A. Prange, a jeweler, en-
ployed non-union builders and was
placed on the I'VE Don't Patronize
List by organized labor. He started
suit for $4,000 damages and secured
temporary injunction restraining Of
ficers and members of the trade un-
ions, and Editor Claude o. Taylor edi-
tor of the Observer, from advertising
him as opposed to organized labor.
Later Prange waived his claim for
damages and assured the court he
would be satisfied if the Injunction
was made permanent. Prange'x at
torneys insisted that the case involved
intimidation and coercion and ele-
ments of conspiracy that should be re-
strained.
IN oCLLllS dSAu0 luc IS1upOIdIy 11-
junction, the court said:
'Clearly, the purpose Of this act
was to divert patronage from Mr..
Prange. This the defendants had a
right to do, for the courts all held
that in cases of industrial disputes
labor unions may use peaceable per-
suasion, either oral or written, to IN
duce the customers and the general
public to Withhold their patronage
from one held to be unfriendly.
From a review Of the evidence,
which is practically undisputed, It is
my judgment that the complainant
has not presented case which would
justify, interference by court of
equity for, as I have endeavored to
point out, so long as the object sought
is lawful and the means used to at
tain it are lawful the court cannot in
terfere even though injury results. The
principle is we'll settled that If loss
to an employer results from peace
able assertion by workmen of their
rights it is a damage without rem
edy."

TWO HARBORS HAS.
CITY ICE PLANT
North Shore Metropolis Adds to
List Of Municipal
Undertakings.

TWO HARBORs, Minn., Feb. H.
No longer will the ice dealers here
fatten on the sufferings of the poor.
BY next summer, this city will have
it's own ice plant, and will sell ice
pure ice at that-at much lower
prices than have ever prevailed here.
It was decided by thu city council
to start the business. An ice house
was ordered built at once, and prep
arations are being made to serve the
people next summer.
The ice will be cut from the city
reservoir. AS the city's water sup
ply is secured from the best sources.
and precautions taken against con-
tamination, it is certain that the ice
will be pure.
The Socialist administration here
last year made a strong fight against
dealers who were putting out impure
ice, found to be injurious to the pub
lie health.
It is expected that besides guard
ing the health of the citizens, the
city ice plant will help to raise rev.
enues for public improvements.

STATUTE DEMANDS
MIND READING
Three Unionists Arrested for
Urging Discharge Of Non-
Unionists.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn.,, Feb. H.
Three members of Machinists' union
have been arrested on criminal var
rants on complaint of the Ashcroft
Manufacturing company, VIII ch
charges the unionists with violatine
section 1896 of the general statutes
because they urged the company to
discharge two non-unionists, one OF
whom is strike-breaker.
The statute is entitled can act con-
cerning intimidation and boycotting, ~
and section 1895 reads as follows:
Every person who shall threaten
or use any means calculated or in
tended to intimidate any person to
compel such person, against his will
to do or abstain from doing any act
which such person has a legal right
to do, or shall persistently follow such
person in a disorderly manner or in.
Jure or threaten to injure his property
with intent to intimidate him, shall
be fined not more than 500 or i'm.
prisoned not more than six months. II
This section, as originally passed
was not deemed sufficient to otor
working men from exercising tnei1
legal rights and in 1909 it was amend.
ed In the second line to include the
words "calculated or intended" This
permits a. judge and jury to qualify
as mind readers.
In the case of Wyeman vs. Deadly
(79 Conn. 414) the state supreme
court ruled that where a unionist
asks his employer to discharge q
worker because he is not member OF
the union such action is within sta.
tute 1895.
The state federation of labor has
maintained continuous agitation
against this section, and is now en-
deavoring to have the present legisla-
ture amend the act This agitation is
strengthened by Judge Shumway's re-
cent decision in the Hartford superior
court that unionists have right to
refuse in concert to work with non-
unionists and can so notify an en-
p1oyer.

IN TR0DUCED IN !.
STATE SENATE {.
!:
By J. D. Sullivan at Request
of St. Cloud Trades
Assembly. .
RECOMMENDED TO PASS
People Of Minnesota Have De-
clared Approval Of Eight
Hour Day.

ST. PAUL, Minn., Feb. L.
Senator j. D. Sullivan Of st. ,
Cloud, at the request Of the
Trades and Labor Assembly Of
that city, has introduced in the
senate bill providing that state
employees shall work but eight
hours. :,
The text of the bill follows:
"Eight hours shall constitute
a days work for all laborers,
workmen, mechanics, prison
guards, janitors of public build
ings, or other persons now en-
ployed or who may hereafter be
employed by or on behalf of the
state of Minnesota, except in
cases of extraordinary emergency
which may arise in time of war,
or in cases where it may be nec-
essary to work more than eight
hours per calendar day for the
protection Of property or human
life."
Speaking for the bill, Senator
Sullivan said that in many cases,
according to the report of. the
Board Of Control, state employees
are obliged to work fourteen and
sixteen hours per day; that such
a@practice should be stopped and
the state ought to set an exam
pie toprivate employers in recog-
nizing that eight hours should
constitute a fair days work.
The bill was considered by the
labor committee and will un-
doubtedly be recommended to
pass at the next meeting of the
committee, which will be held
within a few days.
The question of added expense
to the state was suggested by
Senator Denegre of st. Paul, but
sentiment among the majority of
the members Of the committee
was to the effect that the ques-
IAOA VI 4AuOuCCS WdS d ulluOi COu.
sideration and that it is high time
the state Of Minnesota is cor
recting any abuses such as the
Board Of Control in its report
admitted.
It was pointed out that the
people of Minnesota expressed
themselves very forcibly OH the
eight-hour proposition during the !
last general election; that in
rock-ribbed Republican Mime
sota-with the eight-hour day as
the issue-the Republican candi-
date for president just got by, !;
and that was all. This was point ,
ed to as an indication that the !
people in this state are not op- /
posed to an eight-hour day, and !,
that law giving state employees i
this concession would meet with /,
the approval Of the voters.

JONES Campbell
INSURANCE BILL
Introduced in Senate, Differs
From State Federation of
Labor Measure.

ST. PAUL, Minn., Feb. 1.-The
state Insurance bill Introduced last
Saturday by Senator's Richard Jones
Of Duluth and W. A. Campbell of
Minneapolis differs in many Respects
from the bill sponsored by the: Mime
sofa Federation Of Labor. The lat
ter bill provides only for state insur-
ance fund, without raising the COM
pensation or amending the present
law aside from creating the insurance
commission.
The Jones-Campbell bill, provided
for an increase of compensation frc1h
so per cent of the weekly wages to
66 2-3 per cent; reduction of the Wait
ing time from two weeks to one week,
and for full medical attention. 1T
present the medical feature is limited
to 5000.
The bill introduced is patterned
after the present Ohio law, a feature
of which, provides for payment OF
compensation during entire disability
instead of for limited period OF
weeks. It a comprehensive meas
ure specifying the duties of the pro-
posed commission in detail and just
what the compensation shall be in
each particular case.
It proposes a commission Of five
members at $1,000 per year. The in
surance gund is to be raised by spe-
cific tax on industries according to
the hazard of each, this tax to 60
into the state insurance fund, cut OF
which all claims are to be paid. An
appropriation of 100000 is asked for
to be paid in the first instance by the
state, to be returned to the state when
the incoming premiums will permit.

FORD E|GHT-HOuR
DAY HAS PROVEN
To Be SUCCESS
Officials Of the Company Say
New Plan Insures Increased
Efficiency.

DETROIT, Mich, Feb. 1.-Since
the Ford Motor company in January,
1914, adopted the eight-hour working
day, the plan, regarded at, that time
as an experiment, has been adopted
generally throughout the country and
seems to be increasing in favor as its
value becomes more fully. known.
For skeptics, however, a few con-
crete illustrations taken at random
in the Ford factory, as we'll as testi-
mony of employees working under the
system, should prove convincing. I'M
mediately after the eight-hour plan
went into effect voluntary increase
in production Of about Is per cent
was shown.
This may have been due in part to
the increase in wages that came with
the proft-sharing plan, but in the
light of subsequent investigation it
seems that the short working day,
coupled with safe working conditions,
brought a much higher state Of eff
cheney.
Where the Change Shows.
This fact is especially noticeable in
the fender department. In 1914, with
a working day Of ten hours, 16O men
built 1900 tenders daily. Now, with
an eight-hour day, ia men build
5000 sets each day. This, too, in
spite Of the fact that practically the
same equipment is now used and,
further, that the present fender is
much more difficult to make than
that used previously.
Factory Accidents Few.
Ford factory accidents have de-
creased 80 per cent In the last year
in the face of a 100 per cent increase
in the number of employees. The Ford
spirit Is responsible for this showing
And Ford workers. defining this
spirit, assert that 1t is the result O!
short working hours, living wage
safe, healthful, pleasant surround
ings-t11e foundation Of efficiency.
Exactly what part the eight-hour
day has taken in producing these re.
suits may never be known exactly,
but Ford employees say unanimously
that it has been a large part.

ASKS INSTITUTION
TO UP[|FT [:|| FALLEN
MICHIGAN WOMEN
Detroit Millionaire Police CON-
missioner Will Open Purse
to Help Project.

DETROIT, Mich.,. Feb. 1.-James
Couzens, millionaire police commits
sioner, is planning to establish a
state owned home for fallen women
in connection with his anti-vice cam
paign.
Couzens said he would go before
the legislature and support a bill cre-
ating such an institution and also urge
uplift societies throughout Michigan
to aid. He intends to lend his purse
toward making the idea reality.
In his few months as commission
er of police Couzens placed himself
in touch with the city's underworld,
its denizens and their mode of liv-
ing.
Building in Country.
"The institution I suggest" Cou-
zens said, would be in the country,
where there is plenty of fresh air and
a chance for clean living. far removed
from city temptations and influences
that might draw a victim back to the
old life. The institution should allow
a certain amount of freedom, so that
an inmate could graduate from a
moral leper to a person worth while.
Il would have the regulations so
fixed that a woman could go there
and lose hen identity. The name un-
der which she fell and lived in shame
could be lost to her forever, so that
when she came out she would be CON-
pletely made over.
''Such a woman should be permitted
to go back to society with a clean
slate and certain of help with so lit.
tie left of her past that there would
be nothing to burden her in her new
plan of existence.
Many Have Children.
= I'm checking over Detroit vice con-
ditions have found that many WON
en- of the so-called underworld have
children. A great many of them were
once happily married, some of them
into good families. Their offspring is
being supported on proceeds Of vice.
If the state will put up a build
ing for correction and cure of the ills
of these women I will personally be-
come responsible for the keep and
education of the children of every
woman sent to such an institution
from this city,"
