Factory Inspection.
The amendments to the factory In
spection law, passed by your immedluto
predecessors, enlarging the number and
extending tho authority of those charged
with the duty of Inspection, have been
Btrenuously enforced. A growing popular
sentiment sustains legal prohibition of
child labor and tho uge of restriction Is
certain to be gradually advanced. ruii
peiism, poverty, cruelly to and neglect or

t.ehalf of shorter hours of toll, Saturday
JiHlf-holldays, better assured seml-mont li

and supervision of the so-called "sweat

The regulutlon by state law of fire es
capes on buildings of u certain public
character, and the supervision of factor
ies, hotels, etc.. by state olllcers have re
sulted in greatly increased safeguards of
human life. Kecent events have dem
onstrated (hat the operation of such laws

likelv to bo occupied by an unusual nuni

Labor In Its Kclutlon to Legislation
The thorough investigations and com
prehensive reports of the accomplished
hend of the bureau of gtntlstlca. In the de
partment of Internal affairs, will bring
10 vour notice the sigiiillcant figures of
the extent and cost of labor troubles dur
ing the past two years. These huvo not
heen as widespread In their extent nor as
disastrous in their results 11s often here
tofore. The report of the military opera
tions of the state government anil of tho
movements of the National guard dis
closes fewer calls upon It and less neces
sity for Its use to protect property and to
preserve the supremacy of the law than
in some former periods.
Hitter experience has often taught both
employer and employe the unprofitable
ness of strikes, lockouts and every form
of forciblo collision and passionate dis
pute between labor and capital. All ttn
perate representatives of either admit
their community of Interests. Co-operation
and arbitration therefore seem to be
methods of avoiding or of settling con
flicts which both would ardently seek.
Thus far, In our own commonwealth, le
gal provisions for arbitration seem to
have been Ineffective, whereus In some
other states, notably In Massachusetts,
(i measure of success has attended a state
scheme of amicably settling labor dis
putes. There ought to be no dliiiculty in
devising a board of arbitration In which
hoth sides might havo confidence ami to
whoso Imoartlal judgment both would
yield respect.. Corporations, deriving
their life and powers from the common
wealth and seeking Its protection owe to
It the duty of serving and carrying out
the purposes of their organization. When
they confess themselves unable to do this,
fcecuuse of a luck of conlldcnce on the
part of their employes and an Incapacity
1o satisfactorily adjust the question of
wages, they become subject to the visita
tion of the commonwealth. It has been
well said: "The state is bound In the end
to Interpose; and If the state is to come
In at the finish with the buyonet it may 11s
well come In at the sturt with the bal
ances." The frequent abject surrender of tho
duly constituted civil authorities to the
turbulent and disorderly the fnllurd to
summon and successfully to organize the

frequent unwillingness of representative

tern which depends upon the peaceful au
thority of law rather than the arbitrary
exercise of force. The spectacle of a sher
iff cringing before a mob Is a piteous one,
and the executive should be vested with
the authority promptly to remove any one
who shows himself unwilling or unfit to
perform his official functions and to fill
his place with a qualified successor.
In association with this thought I re
srret the necessity of calling to your at
tention the fact that during the past two
years a brutal lynching stained the soil
of .Monroe county, and of this state; Jus
tice was travestied and the forms of law
suDerseded br a most dangerous and
hocking crime. Despite the charge of
the grand Jury by the court to fully inves

disposition shown to destroy property by
Incendiarism. As usually happens In
these cases, the mere demonstration of
the purpose of the state authorities to
suppress disorder was sufficient to main
tain order without the firing of a gun or
the loss of a life. Of the twenty-seven
strikes which occurred during the year
18H4 up to Dec. 11, all save three tailed to
effect the purposes at which they were
alined.
Protection to Miners.
The coal production of Pennsylvania Is
one of the great material interests of the
state. In carrying It on enormous ven
tures of cupital are required und lurge
risks to property are incurred. Of even
greater concern. In both the anthracite
and Bituminous regions, are me Hun
gers of human life. These have been tho
subject of frequent legislation, und the
enactment of 1SU3, relating to the bitum
inous coal mines, went further toward
their regulation by the state thun any pre
vious legislation. Experience has dem
onstrated the wisdom and cllicacy of tho
law. Its operutlon Is not only conducive
to tho protection und health of the under
ground employes, but It meets the ap
proval of humane employers who are con
cerned for the well being of their oper
atives. No step backward should be
tuken on this subject.
Some complaint continues that miners
are defrauded by the use of false weights.
If It should be found upon due and Im
partial Investigation that there exists
substance for such a complaint tho gen
eral assembly might Idly consider the
propriety of establishing a stale qjflci?,
tho incumbent of which would have pnwer
at any time, when called upon or of his
own volition, to test mine scales or to
measure and brand mine cars.
The frequent occurrence of mine disas
ters In the slato region of tho state, ac
companied In some cases by tho Urns of a
half dozen human lives, suggests the
necessity of extending state protection
and regulation to other underground oper
atives tliiin those of collieries.
Frequent complaints are heard, nnd
ome have been made to the law depart
ment, from centers of mining or manufac
turing Industries that the act of Jhne 9,
1(91, forbidding mining or manufacturing
corporations from carrying on stores is
violated. Investigations have, dn most
cuses. disclosed tho fact that grounds of
complaint were offenses against the spirit
and not against the letter of the act. lle
Ing highly penal In Its churacter und car
rying with it the penally of a forfeiturn
of corporation franchises, cases under it
are bound to he jealously scrutinized an I
lis effect and operation to bo strictly
construed. As at present enacted tho
same persons may be stockholders and
managers or a supply sioro ami oi a
mining or manufacturing corporation at
the same uluce. if conducted entirely
apart and without any prcvulllns rule,
regulation or eoniraci 10 muse me ein
nlnves nf one become tho natrons of an
other. Moral coercion is used to defeat
all the purposes of tho act of 1S91, and the
laborer continues to ue mo viciun or rue
so-called "pluck-me system. A more
particular legislative definition or this
scheme of labor oppression is demanded,

The provisions of our statute law rela

salo and use of explosives should bo

provision regulating the same In regard to
nltro-glycerine, dynamite and other de

to property and human life occasioned by
the careless or criminal use of these dead

a transportation line should not charge

tlons that they apply as forcibly to tho
sense of commercial expediency lis to that

freely charged, and has been i ivriueutly
disclosed In Judicial proceedings, that
these axiomatic principles of law, Justice
und trade are constantly violated. More
stringent and positive legislation Is need
ed to enforce them. livery sort of secret
rebate, discrimination and favoritism
should be made punishable by u due and
imprisonment of the individuals who ihu
tico them, and should warrant the forfeit
ure of corporate power which thus abuses
It. The constitutional Inhibition of free
basses Is practically a cad otter, be

enacted to enrorce It. The new cnnstitii'

Street Passenger Kuilways.
An Interest of vast nnd constantly In
creasing Importance In tho common
wealth Is that of street possenger, elec
tric, trnctlon or tnllley rnllwnys, as they
ure variously known, according to the dif
ferent uppllunces used In the nature of
the country which they traverse. The
old-fashioned horse cars which used to
Lass over comparatively few of the
streets of the cities havo given place to
the swiftly moving trolley cara propelled
by electricity, occupyjng not only the
streets of the cities but the turnpikes and
highways of the suburban ami rural dis
tricts, and with their appliances movliiir
on wires strung from poles raised In the
air. Hy whnt Is vaguely called "munic

INDUSTRIAL TOPICS.
The hea-dquarters of the Susquehan
na and Jefferson division of the Erie
railroad will remain where they are.
Wtlkes-Barre News-Dealer: "Alex
ander Mitchell, aa a suggestion for
presidency of the Lehigh Valley rail
road, is one that can be most heartily
commended. He would make an ideal
railroad president, and no man is more
familiar with railroad management
than Mr. Mitchell."
Owing to possible legal complications
the Lehigh Vulley directors have'
changed tho plan for holding the an
nual meeting from the New Century
club drawing rooms to the company's
principal offices, on South Fourth
street, Philadelphia. Arrangements
have been made, however, for the use
of Musical Fund hall should there be
occasion.
A suggestive thing about the meeting
In New York Monday of representa
tives ot the anthracite coal companies
was the fact that William Joyce, gen
eral freight agent of the Pennsylvania,
waa present and participated In the de
liberations. His company has never co
operated with the other coal fields, and
Its independent attitude haa done more
than any one thing to render the
monthly agreements Inoperative. It
has ailwaye been allowed a Dercentaffe.
but the radical way in whlioh It has
Increased its output over the amount
allowed has been a couse for appre
hension. It is proposed to effect an or
ganization of the coal roada Into an
association modeled after that of the
Trunk Lina association In anticipation
of tine passage of the law permitting
pooling.
Philadelphia Press: "With the be
ginning of the new year the eyes of the
Heading security holders will be turned
anxiously to the future. The prospect
Is not bright, but tho manly thing to do
is to look -the situation in the face
and prepare to meet It. The market
prices of the securities below the gen
eral mortgage bonds are at the lowest
point. The earnings of the company
are at the lowest point. It Is doubt
ful If the earnings for the fiscal year
nded Nov. 3$ will show two-thirda of
the general mortgage bonds earned,
after substroctlng the sum neoessary to
pay off the car trusts. This fact and
the state of the coal trade, which la
dull and unprofitable, opens up an en
tirely new view of the Reading prop
erty. In any successful reorganization
it Is now plain that some sacrifice will
be required of the general mortgage
bondholder as well aa from the junior
holders. By sacrifice Is meant a seal
lng of Interest, something that has
never been suggested since the 4 per
cents, were Issued. This means an en
tirely now scheme of reorganization.
If a dan is proposed on which the vari
ous Interests can unite, the case of
Which must be Integrity of the syetem,
there will be a future for the old com
pany. Nothing definite Is likely to be
done for some months."
The .place where the coal was discov
ered on the farm of Daniel Klntz In
Boss township, about a mile and a half
from Sayloraburg, Monroe county. Is
the scene of great operations. A shaft
has been sunk to a depth of a little more
than twenty foet and fine specimens
of Beach diamond coal have been
found. The vein was thin, however-
several Inches thick so the shaft is
being sunk deeper. An experienced
miner Is superintending the force of
men at work. The miner states that
the prospects, says the Stroudsburg
Daily Times, were good for finding
big vein of coal. Since the find of coa
a company has been formed. It Is
called tlx? Monroe County Prospecting

more. An officer stated that so long us
the Indications for finding coal In pay

TO OUR
Washburn-Crosby Co. wish to assure their many pat
rons thut thev will this year hold to their usual custom
ol milling S'l'RlCTLY OLD WHEAT until the new crop
is fully cured. New wheat is now upon the market, and
owing to the excessively dry weather many millers are
of the opinion that it is already cured, and in proper
condition for milling. Washburn-Crosby Co. will take
no risks, and will allow the new wheat fully three
months to mature before grinding.
This careful attention to every detail ot milling has
placed Washburn.Crosby Co.'s flour far above other
brands.
