LAWS THAT FOSTER LA It OR.
Never lie fore was so Murh llone for the
Worklwrmnn. The Inst Legislature'
Noble Work. Lnbor Receives I lie
First Highest Consideration Among
Alt Oilier Interest.
It la doubtful whether any legislature
was ever bo roundly censured In a gen
eral way as the last one that assembled
at Harrlsburg. From time Immemorial
It has been the custom to criticize the
school teacher, the local editor, the
preacher and the postmaster, but In
recent years the legislature has been
added to the list, and the unthinking
can readily be led to believe it an all
around nuisance. This year the de
nunciation was as ufijust as It was se
vere. These strictures were either
actuated by partisan bias, factional
strife or personal malice. But the real
hard facts will not In the slightest de
gree Justify these attacks. Indeed, when
the critics are asked to particularize,
when they are asked wherein the late
legislature was so sinful, not a single
bill can be recalled that became a law
that Is inimical to the interests of
the people, while a review of all the leg
islation enacted reveals the fact that
more beneficial laws were passed last
session than at any other single ses
sion of the legislature of this state, or
of the legislature of any other Btate.
Factionalism at Harrlsburg ran high
for a time, due in part to the lively
contest for United States senator. But
it was not the first time, nor is It likely
to be the last, that will witness con
fusion attending the conquest for this
proud gift of the people. So long as
the constitution requires the legisla
ture to perform the function of elect
ing the two members of the upper
branch of congress Just so long will
there recur at Intervals spirited strug
gles for the coveted place. But this
contest was productive of factional
conflict only, and that was ephemeral.
There was much noise, it is true, but
that has subsided. For a time the
ghouls of false accusation were able
to obscure facts and shade truths, and
in the din of the strife led some to be
lieve a horrible tale. But with the
smoke of battle lifted, and the field
once more in clear view, with passions
appeased, and. reason and common
sense enthroned, it is discovered that
not men nor factions were in control,
but that the grand old Bepubllcan
party was the safe guide that placed
the last legislature first among the
many that have kept step with ad
vancement and done good deeds for
the masses.
LABOR'S CROWNING GIFT.
Labor's gift from the last legislature
was measured out more bountifully
than ever before. Nearly all the leg'
islatlon asked for by the labor organ!
zations passed both branches and re
celved executive approval.
Never In the history of the Btate has
there been so many laws enacted for
the benefit of the grand army of work
ingmen. These bills Include measures
that regulate almost every character
of industry in the state, and many of
them are of the greatest importance,
Besides these bills there were a number
of minor measures, principally appro
priatlons for hospitals and other In
stltutions that are of indirect benefit
to the working people, which were pass
td through the legislature and secured
executive approval. Altogether it was
a remarkable legislature for the en
actment of labor laws.
The following labor bills passed the
legislature, and all were approved with
the exception of the Orme store bill
No. 43 Commonly known as the
sweat shop bill, entitled "An act to reg
ulate the employment and provide for
the health and safety of persons em
ployed where clothing, cigarettes and
certain other articles are made or par'
tially made, and that said articles be
made under clean and healthful condl
tlons." This bill was presented by Sena

ment and provide for the health and
safety of men, women and children in

office clerks and others to enforce the
same. Also fathered by Senator Mitch
ell.
No. 122 The famous bake shop bill.
entitled an act "to regulate the manU'
facture of flour and meal food pro
ducts.
This bill was fathered by Senator
Thomas, of Philadelphia, and has ere
ated a great sensation since it became
a law, because in its enforcement
many bake shops have been exposed as
utterly unfit for the purpose 1f baking
bread. It Is a law calculated to promote
cleanliness and health in the products
of bakeries.
No. 163 The prison labor bill, en
titled an act "limiting the number of
Inmates of state prisons, penitentarles,
state reformatories and other penal in
Btitutlons within the state of Pennsyl
vania, to be employed in manufactur
ing goods therein and prohibiting the use
of machinery in manufacturing said
goods." This bill was presented by Rep
resentatlve Muehlbromer, of Allegheny
county.
No. 116 The organization badge bill,
presented by Representative M.cUaugh
ey, of Indiana. This law is entitled an
oct "to prevent the wearing of the
badge or button of any labor or frater
nal organization by others than mem
bt-rs, and fixing a penalty for. the
same." This law will reach parties auoh
aa went to Shamokln at the beginning
of the present coal strike and tried to
collect money tor the strikers.
No. 73 Labor Day bill, presented by
Senator Cochran. This law changes
Labor Day from the first Saturday In
September to the first lluudnv. thus
making thlB' holiday fall on the same
day designated in most of the other
states. It also designates "the days and
half days to be observed as legal holi
days, and for the payment, acceptance
and protesting of bills, notes, drafts,
checks and other negotiable paper on
Buch days."
No. 4! The famous weller bill, an
act "to protect employes of corporations
In their rlsht to form. Join or belong: to
labor organizations, by prescribing pen
alties for any Interference therewith."
The penalty for violation of this act Is
not more than $2,000 nor less than 11,000
and Imprisonment for a term not ex
ceeding one year or either or both In
the discretion of the court.
No. 114 The alien tax bill, presented
by Representative G. W. Campbell, of
Fayette county. This law places a tax
of three cents a day on all employers
of foreigners, and provides that the tax
may be deducted from the wages of the
persons affected by the provisions. It
also prescribes a penalty of not less
$200 nor more than $1,000 for each of
fense. No. 341 The eight hour day bill, pre
sented by Representative Farr, of
Lackawanna. This law regulates the
hours of labor of mechanics, working
men and laborers in the state or mu
nicipal corporations therein or other
wise engaged on public works.
No. 423 Presented by Representative
Monohan, of Luzerne. This law is for
the "better protection of employes in
and about the coal mines by preventing
mine superintendents, mine foremen
and assistants from receiving or so
liciting any sums of money or other
valuable consideration from men while
In their employ and providing a penalty
for violation of the same."
No. 814 "Miners' certificate bill," pre
sented by C. B. Miller, of Luzerne. This
law is to "protect the lives and limbs
of miners from the dangers resulting
from Incompetent miners working in
the anthracite coal mines of this com
monwealth, and to provide for the ex
amination of persons seeking employ
ment as miners In the anthracite re
gion and to prevent the employment of
incompetent persons as miners in anth
racite coal mines and providing penal
ties for a violation of the same." This
is one of the most Important laws en
acted by the legislature. The old law
of 1SS9 was looked upon as a burlesque
and It was known to be violated fla
grantly, certificates being given out
without regard to the fitness of the
men.
No. 815 Tne anti-screen bill, pre
sented by Representative McWhinnev.
of Allegheny. This bill reaulre th
weighing of bituminous coal before
screening, and providing a penalty for
the violation thereof. This is a law that
is of great importance to the miners of
the soft coal region, and one that has
been fought for during many years.
No. 34 The mines and.minlng bureau.
This bill creates the bureau of mines
and mining, providing for the office of a
chief, whose duty It will be to see that
the mine laws are properly administer
ed and that violations are promptly
punished. This bill was presented by
Senator John J. Coyle, of Schuylkill
county.
No. 668 The Orme company store
order bill, with which the readers of
The Journal are familiar, was cassed
by the legislature, but was vetoed by
the governor, on the ground of its be
ing unconstitutional. This bill had a
varied experience. It was killed in com
mittee, but a rehearing was secured.
and through the efforts of Messrs. Fahy
ana Chance, who were closely watching
all labor legislation, lt was brought out
of committee and passed.
Representative Mansfield, from Bea
ver, introduced a bill covering 56 pages,
amending the entire bituminous mining
law, which had been declared uncon
stitutional by Judge Gordon. This bill
passed and received the executive Big
nature. TO SAVE $1,500,000 A YEAR.
Another bill along the line of interest
and Importance to labor and the pa'
trlotlc orders, and which has been com
mended from one end of the common'
wealth to the other, was Introduced by
Representative Benjamin K. Focht, of
Union county, who was one of the lead'
era on the floor of the house in the in'
terest of labor and agriculture. The
bill provides for the removal to other
states and countries of all unnatural
ized foreigners who are quartered upon
the state. The law is modeled after the
one that has been in successful opera
tion for some years in Massachusetts.
Mr. Focht says that an investigation
recently made discloses the fact that
20,000 aliens are quartered upon the
taxpayers of Pennsylvania at an an
nual cost of $1,600,000, and to this ex
tent the public will be relieved when
his law is fully enforced.
The above bills do not include all that
were passed in the Interest of labor,
and they constitute but a small frac
tion of the whole number designed to
benefit all branches of industry.
In the face of the above it would
seem to be about time to shoot when
the calamity buzzard persists in be
rating the last legislature. Facts are
deadly, and the distortion of the truth
by partisans and factlonalists, and
those who wish to advance personal in
terests and ambitions, will not prevail,
The fair and Just thing for all work
lngmen to do is to cast their vote for
the whole Republican ticket, and aid
in strengthening and maintaining the
party that has rolled away for them
the Democratic clouds of despair and
brought back in state and nation pros
perity and happiness.
New Aincuduu'ttU to the Compulsory
