MANY LABOR
Problems Worked Out By
N. Y. State

Albany, N. Y.-The varied func-
tions of a state labor department is
indicated by Governor Smith in ap-
pointing representative of employers
and workers to serve as members of
the industrial council to the state
labor department.
The following are some Of the prob
lens that come before the labor de-
partment:
inspection of factories and indus
trial establishments, of mines, tunnels
and quarries, of building construction
and of manufacturing in tenements;
the administration of the workmen's
compensation law all over the state
necessitating upwards of 21 hearings
in different parts of the state every
day; the mediation of industrial dis
putes and controversies and the pre-
vention of costly strikes; the special
investigation of conditions affecting
women and children in industry; re-
search and educational work in con-
nection with the health hazards of
industry with view to the reduction
of preventable industrial accidents
and diseases; the operation of the
free employment offices maintained
by the state"

GOuging of Steel Trust Is
Outlawed By u. S. Board

Washington.-After one of the bit
terest fights in the history of the
federal trade commission, that BODY
has ordered the steel trust to aban-
don pittsburgh plus" Under this
system steel manufacturers add to
their prices freight costs from Pitts
burgh, though the steel never saw
Pittsburgh. This puts the trust mills
around Pittsburgh on an equal basis
with mills nearer the raw material
The commission declared that sys-
tenn is not based on the law of supply
and demand; it is price-fxing
scheme succeeding the old steel pools.
Gary dinners, etc.; it is made possible
by the steel trusts dominant posi-
ton; it destroys competition; it is
price discrimination not made in good
faith to meet competition; it retards
business in steel centers except in
Pittsburgh, and it increases prices.
The commission declared that the
system adds unnecessary millions of
dollars annually to the cost of steel
products, and specifically adds $780,
100000 to the cost of steel products
paid by farmers in II western states.
The commission is of the belief that
the abandonment of this system will
mean the building up of all steel
producing and consuming sections
outside of Pittsburgh and will end the
rigid prices in this industry.
Every home builder in the land is
a victim of. this policy, yet no public
ity has been given this vicious sys-
tenn by those who talk of 'high"
wages in the building industry.

lipp, and Isaac Stephenson, joined
our ranks for such time as suited
their purposes.
Isaac Stephenson, up to 1900, had
always cooperated with the machine.
Like Sawyer, he was typical pio-
neer lumberman, who had acquired
great wealth which he was willing
to use literally in political activities.
When the Legislature of 1899 came
to elect a Senator, Stephenson felt
that the hour had come when the
promise should be made good.
He knew that word from Sawyer
and Spooner would settle the mat
ter, but that word was not spoken.
It may be they had never intended
to make Stephenson Senator. 1t is
certain there were others on the
waiting list who wanted the Senator
ship and who also expected Sawyer
and Spooner to help them. One Of
these was Congressman Babcock, a
machine politician with close con-
nections with big business.
Now, as a matter of fact, Sawyer
and Spooner did not want either
Stephenson or Babcock for Senator.
The man they really wanted was
Henry c. Payne, but his reputation
as a lobbyist was such they did not
dare propose him openly.
They supported Joseph V. Quarles
as holding candidate" No OPP
portunity offering for Payne, they
finally elected Quarles Senator. This
left Stephenson and Babcock in an
unpleasant frame OF mind, and both
in less than two years came to me
with propositions to support the Pro-
gressive movement. which by that
time began to look like a winning
cause.
An old friend of Babcock came to
me in January, 1900, and said: Il
come to you with message from
Babcock. He asks nothing from you.
But he is angry with the old crowd
because they did not treat him fair
" in the senatorial contest.
He has such a hold upon his dis
trict that he feels he can remain in
Congress without asking the favor
of any outside support. But he
wants to fight in your ranks as
private"
Well" I replied, you know what
l am fighting for in this State. You
know that I am standing for GER
tain issues, and am welcoming all
the help that I can get"

after the bosses spend $500 to
handle the delegates to the State con-
ventiou. Many Progressive planks are
adopted at the convention, however.
But we had not fought wholly in
vain; we had so stirred the State
upon progressive issues that our op-
ponents did not dare risk the rejec-
ton Of the platform which we pre-
scented. and, except in one or two
particulars, it was adopted substan-
TALLY as we drafted it.

of such laws as would compel all
corporations to contribute their just
share toward the burden of taxation
1t prohibited giving and receiving

1t admitted defects in the caucus
and convention system, and favored
direct primary legislation.
1t admitted the existence Of the
lobby to control legislation in the in

laws to abolish the same.
In the following legislature, Of
1899, none of the pledges Of the plat
form Of 1898. aside from the anti
pass law, was redeemed. An effort
was made to pass a bill for the more
equitable taxation of the railroads,
but it was resisted by a strong rail-
road lobby and finally defeated by
bill for the creation OF
a commission to investigate the sub
ject. Every forward step was re-
sisted.

In spite of the fact that Indiana
and the nation in general got away
to a bad start in checking fires for
1924, recent reports show the sit
uation is less acute and fire pre-
vention for the year will be favor
able, according to a bulletin issued
today by State Fire Marshal New
man T. Miller.
"Indiana's January fire loss in
1924 was S1,361.95 and $551.443 in
1928" the bulletin reads. The ma
tional loss for January, 1929, was
Sal .243. 600 as compared with $685.
614,S5O the corresponding month
last year.
New York City fire loss for the
first three months of 1924 showed
an increase of 33.4 per cent, and the
Illinois total for the same period
reached almost S10.0O0.0O0.
"Such fire epidemics demand
drastic action and serve to call at
tention Of the public, in a spec
tacular, but costly manner, to the
need of constant vigilance against
hire.
The national loss for February
and March. the latest for which com.
plete reports are available, show de-
creases under last year. and the
state loss for April and May show
sharp decreases under the same
months in 1928, fact from which
we take much encouragement and
hope for a good showing in Indiana

A. r. Hall of the proposal he op-
posed my seeing Hughitt on the
ground that it was the purpose of
these gentlemen to draw me into an
interview, then cause the matter to
be made public for the purpose or

1 suggested that if the president

citation, or the representative of any
other business interest, requested a
conference for the purpose Of ascer-
tanning my position upon legislation
which might affect their interests,
would agree to such an interview as

under such circumstances would

True, a majority of the people, of
Wisconsin are of foreign birth and
foreign parentage., But it is rare
and exceptional people. The spirit
of liberty stirring throughout Eu-
rope in the late 40's and early SOS
gave us the best Of Germany, Scan
dinavia, Poland, Ireland.
Our problem was further simpli-
fed owing to the predominance Of
the agricultural population and the
absence Of great congested centers,
which are always the stronghold of
machine control through a corrupt
combination of big business and mu-
nicipal graft.
We entered upon the campaign Of
1900, therefore, in which we were
destined to be finally victorious, with
great enthusiasm.
The psychology of a certain type
of machine politician is a most in
teresting study
It is characteristic Of him to win
if possible. but to appear to win in
any event. He has a quick, almost
prophetic eye for the loaded wagon.
He has one rue: beat the opposition
man. but if he cannot be beaten
support him.
Claim credit for his victory, and
at all hazards, keep in with the sue
cessful candidate. He believes that
II he cannot get what he wants for
himself by opposing a candidate, he
may possibly succeed in getting what
he wants by supporting him.
We had been beaten by the bosses
in three successive campaigns in
Wisconsin, but when we entered the
campaign of 1900. the cumulative eff
