Labor Legislation.

The state branch of the A. F. of L. has, as in former years, taken the lead in matters of labor legislation and has introduced labor bills that will be of immense benefit to all the working people throughout the state and they should be ably supported by each and every local union of carpen- ters in the entire state.
 Among the measures to be intro duced are: The amendments to the Compensation Law increasing the weekly compensation from 50 to 66 2-3 per cent in time of injury, and substitution of state insurance in place of private insurance. Great eff fort will be made on the part of the men who represent us to get this amendment through and the utmost support that we can give should be given
 Other measures are an eight hour day for women and children in manu

Kid DUDE of Brunswick here tonight
in fast twelve round match before

looked like a world beaten in all of
the first five rounds with the eX-

in the sixth when King staged a
wonderful comeback. King whilst BOD
some heavy punishment in the first
six sets and seemed unable to reach
DUDE effectively until the sixth stage
when he shaded the Brunswick lad
by some heavy blows. The opening
of the second stanza was a draw, but
King came back in the seventh and
put it all over the Kid, the bell alone
cheating him of a X. o. DUDE put up
Il wonderful scrap in the ninth and
held even with Felix, but the Gran
ite State lad came back with some
fine work in the tenth and DUDE
took a great amount of heavy pun
ishment. The eleventh came to a
draw as King weakened, but COM
ing back in the last stage he twice
foored DUDE and the bell saved the
Brunswick lad from taking a nap.
In the semi final. Tommy Fleurant

stenographers' as there are At the
present time in the state house, there
were a chief stenographer at an ade-
quate salary who would have over
sight over all the work of such clerks
and stenOgraphers and who would
familiarize herself with the work and
duties of the various Offices.
1T is the custom of all the Offices
apparently to maintain as large a
force as is necessary to do the work
at time when the work is most
crowded and not to discharge or re-
lease when work is dull. It happens
that when many offices are having
a busy season, others are having a
dull season and there is no reason
why, with competent supervisor,
clerks and stenographers who do
ordinary work cannot be transferred
from one department to another as
needed: A chief stenographer
would also check up the work car
ried on by the various Offices
and by being in constant conference
! with the Governor and Council
| would be able to ascertain in what
departments duplication of efforts
was being made, with the result
that an order by the Governor and
Council could correct the waste
| which we realize exists at the pres
ent time.
1--WE believe that a chief steno-
grapher would be an invaluable aid
to the Governor, coming directly I'M
der his appointment and keeping him
informed of such duplication and
wasted effort as we'll rs improving
| the morale of the clerks and stem
ographers.
your attention is respectfully call
ed to the table showing the cx-
penditures paid from the State con-
tingent fund since the law creating
that fund was enacted in 1915.
Contingent Fund
| "While such a fund is necessary, to
! take care of emergencies and
worthy contingencies that may arise
it is constant temptation in the
direction of expenditures which have
not been sanctioned or contemplated
by the legislature and which the
legislature might not approve. We
believe it was the intention in
creating this fund to provide solely
4 for emergencies, but the practice has
grown up unconsciOusly of going f4r
beyond what was apparently the in
tention of the legislature in providing
money for various purposes.
prior to the enactment of the
law creating the contingent fund il
was the custom to eXpend uneXpend
ed balances or any other funds
found in the State treasury. AS a
result of that practice almost all oil
the trust funds of the State have
been spent and the State is paying
annually from four to six per cent or
those funds with nothing but book
account to show their existence. A
glance at the interest table OF this
report will show that the State is
carrying an annual interest charge OF
$s4o.oS3.72, a daily interest charge
OF s1495.72. We believe these trust
funds should exist in fact and that
! the necessary amount of money tc
cover them be placed in the State
treasury to be properly invested
thereby earning at least the major
part of its interest charge and thus
relieving the State to that extent.
