LAWS THAT
FOSTER LABOR.
Never Before Was So Much Done
For the AVorkingmaii.
THE LAST LEGISLA
TURE'S NOBLE WORK.
Labor Receives the First and High
est Consideration Among
All Other Interests.
It Is doubtful whether any legislature
was ever so 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 unjustas It was se
vere. These strictures were either
actnnted by partisan bias, factional
strife or personal malice. Hut the real
hard facta will not In the slightest de
gree Justify thef,e attneks. Indeed, when
tho critics are asked to pnrtlciilnrlze,
when they are asked wherein the lute
legislature was so sinful, tut a single
bill can be recalled that became a law
that Is Inimical to the Interests of
the people, while a review of till the leg
islation rnucted reveals the fact that
more bt'tifflcliil laws were passed Inst
session than at nny other single ses
sion of the legislature of this slate, or
of the legislature of any other state.
Kactiopullsin at Harrlsburg ran high
fur a time, due In part to the lively
contest for I'lilled stales senator. Hut
it was not tlie tlrst time, nor Is it likely
to be the last, that will witness con
fusion intending the comiuest for this
proud gift of the people. So long lis
the constitution requires the legisla
ture to perform the function of elect
ing the two members of the upper
brunch ot congress Just so long will
there recur at Intervals spirited strug
gles for the coveted place. Hut this
contest was productive of factional
conllict only, and that was ephemeral.
There wus 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. Hut with the
smoke of battle lifted, and the field
once more In clear view, with passions
appeased, and reason nnd common
sense enthroned, it Is discovered that
not men nor factions were In control,
but that the grand old Hepubllcan
party was the safe guide that placed
the last legislature tlrst among the
many that have kept step with ad
vancement and done good deeds for
the masses.
LAHOU'S CUOW'NING GIFT.
.Labor's gift from the last legislature
was measured out more bountifully
than ever before. Nearly all the leg
lslation asked for by the labor organi
zations passed both branches and re
celved executive npprovnl.
President John Fahy, of the United
Mine WorltTB of America, and Mr.
(ieorgn Chance, president of the Phila
delphia. Typographical union, were ou
the ground for nearly six months In
the interest of the many bills desired
by the organizations they represented,
anil they do but Justice In their loud
praise of the largo majority of mem
ln rs who tjo cheerfully supported their
hills.
Never in the history of the state has
there been so many laws enacted for
the beiiellt of the grand army of work
Ingiiieii. These hills include measures
that regulut" almost every character
of industry lu the state, ami many of
them are of the greatest Importance.
Hi-sides these hills there were a number
of minor measures, principally appro
priations or hospitals ami oilier In
stitutions that are of indirect beiiellt
to the working people, which were pass
ed through the legislature nml secured
executive approval. Altogether It was
a reiiinrkuble legislature for the en
act incut of labor laws.
The following labor bills passed the
legislature, und all were approved with
the exception of the drme store bill.
No. 13 Commonly known as the
sweat shop bill, entitled "An act to reg
ulate the employment arid provide for
tho health und safety of persons cm
ployed wlirre clothing, cigarettes and
certain other articles are made or par
tially made, nnd that said articles be
made under clean and healthful condi
tions." This bill was presented by Sena
tor J. (I. Mitchell, of Jefferson county.
No. 7 An act to regulate the employ
ment and provide for the health and
safety of men, women nnd children lu
manufacturing establishments, mer
cantile Industries, laundries, renovating
works or printing ulllces, and to pro
Vide for the appointment of inspectors,
otflco 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 (lour and meal food tiro-
ducts."
This bill was fathered by Senator
Thomas, of Philadelphia, and has cre
ated a great sensation since It became
a law, because. In Its enforcement
many bake shops have lieen exposed as
utterly unfit for the purpose of baking
bread. It Is a law calculated to promote
cleanliness and health In the products
of bakeries.
No. 153 The prison labor bill, en
titled an act "limiting tho number of
Inmates of Btate prisons, penltentarles,
state reformatories and other penal In
stitutions 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 Uep
resentatlve Muchlbromer, of Allegheny
county.
No. 116 Tho organization badge bill.
presented by Representative M.cGaugh
ey, of Indiana. This law Is entitled an
act "to prevent the wearing of the
badge or button of any labor or frater
nal organization by others than mem
bers, and fixing a penalty for the
This law will reach parties such
i nt to Shamokln at the beginning
the present coal strike and tried to
ii'-et money for the striker.
v... 73 Labor Day bill, presented by
i.ator Cochran. This law changes
:..il r Day from the first Saturday In
;iimber to the first Monday, thus
i. Hiking this holiday fall on the same
day designated In most of the other
states. It also designates "the days and
half ilays to be observed as legal holl
dayn, and for the payment, acceptance
and protesting of bills, notes, drafts,
checks and other negotiable paper on
such days."
No. 4V-The famous Wcller bill, an
act "to protect employes of corporation
In their right to form. Join or belong to
labor organizations, by prescribing pen
alties for any Interference therewith."
The penalty for violation of this act la
not more than $2,000 nor less than $1,000
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 Kopresentatlve 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 ltepresentative Furr, of
Lackawanna. This law regulates the
hours of labor of mechanics, working
men nnd laborers in the state or mu
nicipal corporations therein or other
wise engaged on public works.
No. 42:! Presented by Representative
Monohnn, of l.uzenie. Tills law is for
tlie "better protection of employes In
and about the coal mines by prevent inc;
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. Ml - Miners' certificate bill," pre
sented by t'. H. 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 lu the anthracite re
gion and to prevent the employment of
Incompetent persons as miners In anth
racite ronl mines and providing penal
tics for a violation of the same." This
Is one of the most Importnnt laws en
ucted by the legislature. The old law
of 1NS9 wus looked upon as a burlesque
and It was known to bo violated tla
grnntly, certificates being given out
without regard to the fitness of the
men.
The law Increases the cost of cer
tificates to $1. A man, In order to
get a cert itic utc, must have had two
yeurs' experience either as a miner or
a mine laborer in the mines of this
state. He must appear In person liefore
the bonrd and he identified under oath
by at least one miner holding a certifi
cate. He must be able to answer in
telligently at least 12 questions in the
F.ngllsh language pertaining to the re
quirements of a practical miner.
The board must meet publicly once
a month, and not of letter, and must
keep a record open to the public show
ing a detailed account of each examina
tion of all questions and their answers.
Meetings must not be held wherein in
toxicating liquors nrc sold. Certillcates
will not be legal unless signed In per
son by all the members of the board.
All certificates that have been Improp
erly and Illegally Issued are unlawful
and Illegal, and the owners must get
new ones. This is a feature that the
owners of the certificates and others
Interested under the law In those cer
tillcates might well lie very careful of.
because It Is liable nt any time to prove
Interesting to them by way of causing
them considerable bother and trouble
under the new law.
Members of the board must prosecute
ull violations of the act, ami in the case
of tln lr failure to do so it then becomes
the duty of the district attorney, and
any member of the board found guilty
of violating I Ik- law, in addition to tlie
other penalties Ills olllce shall he de
clared vaeaiit, and lie shall not b
eligible to again hold such a position.
Any citizen has also tin power to
prosecute. Kinploycrs are also liable
to the penalties in case of employing
persons not holding ccrtilleates. Any
person found guilty of violating the law
shall pay a fine of not less than tW
nnd not more than $.1011, or shall undergo
imprisonment not less than :!il days or
more than six months, or cither or
botli, at the discretion of the court.
No. MS The iinti-sereon bill, pre
sented by ltepresentative MeWlilnney,
of Allegheny. This bill requires the
weighing of bituminous coal before,
screening, and providing a penally for
Ihe violation thereof. This Is n law that
Is of great importance to the miners of
the soft coul region, nml on,, that has
been fought for during many years.
No. 31 The mines and. mining bureau.
This bill creates the bureau of mines
and mining, providing for the ollh e of u
chief, w hose duly it will be to see that
the mine laws are properly administer
ed nnd that violations ' ate promptly
punished. This bill was presented by
Senator John J. Coyle, of Schuylkill
county.
No. SiiS The Orine company store
order bill, with which the readers of
The Journal are familiar, was passed
by the legislature, but was vetoi-d'hy
tlio governor, on the ground of Its be
ing unconstitutional. This bill had a
varied experience. It wus killed in eni-
mittee, tuit a rehearing was secured
and through the efforts of Messrs. Fuhy
and Chance, who were closely watching
lilnir
all labor legislation,;!! was brought out
of committee and passed.
ltepresentative Mansfield,
vcr, introduced a bill covering Cil pages,
amending the entire bituminous mining
law.
wmcn nan nee.n declared uncon-
stltutloniil by Judge Gordon. This bill
passed and received tho executive Big-
nature.

of the Ohio law, passed the senate and

Another bill along the line of interest
and Important to labor and the pa
triotic orders, and which has been com
mended from one end of the common
wealth to the other, was Introduced by
ltepresentative Henjamin K. Focht. of
Union county, who was one of the lead
ers on the Hour 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 thut
20.000 aliens are quartered upon the
taxpayers of Pennsylvania at an an
nual cost of $1,500,000, 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
iM'iieflt 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 leglsbiture. Facts an
deadly, and the distortion of the truth
by partisans and faction. (lists, and
those whii wish to advance personal in
terests mid ambitions, will not prevail.
The fair and just thing for all work
iiigmen to do is to cast their vote fur
'.he whole Republican tlelo t. and aid
in strengthening nnd maii'taiiui'g the
party that has rolled away for thorn
the I'l'inoeiatie clouds of despair and
brought bail; in siale and nation pros
perity and happiness.
HAPPY PENNSYLVANIA.

"That there is a r i linn- coming we
have oonliip ntl.v believed sine,, last No
vember, lias it arrived'.' These o' 10
perls tell us that all over the Mate
of Pennsylvania, except in those un
happy regions where III timed striker
delay the awaiting revival ot Industry,
mills are starting up everywhere, orders
are coming In and labor is timliiig em
ployment. Prices have not advanced In
i very case and nowhere is there a fev
erish boom, sure to be followed by re
lation. The advance is natural, healthy,
widespread, and, while profits would bu
greater If prices ruled higher, that
which is made counts for more and
does not invite nnd stimulate the com
petition of foreign Importations.
"The present Is assuring und the
promise is much greater. In the opinion
of many competent Judges tills state is
on the threshold of the greatest pros
perity In Its history. From town ufter
town and county after county come the
same encouraging responses. It Is nut
.nly mills and mines that show increas
ed activity, but this activity and pros
perity Is shared by nil related Indus
tries. The merchant sella more goods,
tlie farmer llntls a better market for his
products- the railroads find their freight
trutllc greatly increasing nnd In their
turn are led to expenditures which give
new employment to labor.
"As to the cause of this revival. II Is
not necessary, perhaps, to Inquire too
curiously. A year ago Republicans
prophesied that the election "I" M Kill
ley, the defeat of the cheap money
craze and the settlement of the tariff
question would be followed by a 1"-
ivnl of trade and business, and the ad
vent of better times. That proplcey
