HOW LABOR IS FARING
# SOME OF THE BILLS BEFORE PENN

Labor interest* have thus far ro.ioiv
but scant attention by the present logi.
latum. The laboring classes so far have
got practically nothing. There are,
however, a number of bills of more than
ordinary Importance to labor unions and
the men and women who earn their lis
ings in tho mines and factories now
ponding which will probably be passed
in a short timo. In tho senate the prin
cipal champion of labor has been Semi
tor Penrose. His bill to protect motor
men on street passenger railway line
provides that all such companies sliai
cause the front platform of every car pro
polled by electricty or cable, during th
months of November, December, Janu
ary, February and March, to be inclosed
or screened so as to fully protect from
storm any person stationed on tho plat
form to operate the car. Any company
violating the law shall be liable to a
penalty of 025 per day for every car so
used.
Three bills have been introduced b\
Senator Penrose iu tho interest of tex
tile workers. One raises the limit of age
of infant labor from 13 to 14 years. Tin
textile workers at first wanted the agt
fixed at 10 years, at a hearing before the
committee of tho senate agreed on 14
years. Another bill provides for tin
proper ventilation of work rooms and
factories, and regulating tho heating
thereof. It also requires ail textile
manufacturers to furnish a "bill of par
ticulars," showing the actual amount of
work on the looms and other details.
Both of these bills liavo been reported
from tho committee and are likely to
pass.
A third bill, reducing the hours of
work for women and children from 60
hours a week to 55 a week, is not so sure
of passage. It Is being opposed by tin
country members, who say tho law is
not wanted in tho rural districts. The
women and children there have so little
to do that they are only too anxious to
get a chance to work the full 60 hours
and earn more money.
Senator Baker also introduced an im
portant measure for the laboring classes
in his bill regulating "sweat shops" and
providing for additional deputy factory
inspectors to inforco tho law and to keep
a constant supervision of such places.
The bill has passed the senate and is now
in the house.
A bill introduced by Senator Keofer
is intended to solve the much-vexed
question of tho employment of convict
labor. It provides for a commission
consisting of three members of the sen
ate and three members of the house,
together with tho president pro tern of
the senate, the speaker of the house
aud the superintendent of tho Hunting
don reformatory, make Inquiry and re
port to the next legislature respecting
the subject of convict labor, including
an examination of tho extent to which it
is now carried on in the institutions of
Pennsylvania and the degree to which it
interferes with standard paid labor in
tliis state. Inquiry shall also be made
as to the best methods of utilizing such
convict labor, based upon the experience
of existing institutions here and else
where, without interference with legiti
mate industries.
Among the labor bills in the house the
more important relate to tho extensive
mining Interests in the anthracite and
bituminous regions. Several bills hji#v
been Introduced to correct the long
standing evil of the company or pluck
mo stores, but tho one meeting with the
most favor has been introduced by Rep
resentative Orine, of Schuylkill, which
proposes to treat them as the United
States did the. circulation of the state
banks—tax them out of existence. The
l>ill, which is still iu committee, provides
that all corporations or individuals run
ning such stores must make sworn re
turns of the amount of wages withheld
for the purpose of meeting bills in the
and on that sum they aro to be
taxed 10 per cent.
Representative O'Malloy, of Scranton,
has introduced a bill which, if it be
comes a law, will have an important
bearing on the health of miners. Medi
cal authorities argue that tho disoase
known as miners' asthma is due entirely
to inhaling tho smoke from the miners'
lamps caused by tho use of tho cheap,
low-grade oils. Tho O'Malley bill will
compel tho companies to use good oil
and proper ventilating material. The
large oil companies, which will be seri
ously affected, aro vigorously opposing
the bill, but both miners and operators
are said to favor it.
Another hill of vital importance to
persons employed about mines Is the
Wyatt bill, which requires that safety
automatic controllers must be applied to
any engine hoisting from shafts em
ployes or other persons, and in which
men are necessarily hoisted in going to
or coming from work, or where life or
limb may bo endangered from being in
the immedidate vicinity of said hoisting
engine. Violation of this act Is made a
•iisdeinea:;or punishable by a fine of 3300
r CO .-lays' imprisonment or both.
Representative Itoeso's bill, to extern!
ho provisions of the act compelling
omi-mon!hly payment of wages, has
iso received the. indnrsmcnt of the labor
>eopie, as have also Ihe same repreaenta
ive's bills to repeal tin* act providing
or the examination of miners in the
tnlhracito coal regions and requiring
he preservation of the records of mine
nspection.
A bill which is of importance to every
nomher "fa labor organization is one
ntrodueed by Representative William*
granting to every laboring man the
•igiit to belong to a labor organization.
Any person, or agent or oilicer of a com
oany or firm, discharging an employe
because of his connection with such or
ganization or in any other way violating
his act, shall he deemed guilty of a inis
lemoanor punishable by a line of §2OO or
six months imprisonment, or both.
The union label bill and Representa
tive Harvey's bill regulating the amount
of convict labor in the manufacture of
brushes are both important bills. With
a similar object but smacking slightly of
of A. P. Aism is the Nickell bill providing
that none but American citizens can be
employed on any pubic works and the
Smith bill imposing a heavy per capita
tax on all aliens. A bill by Representa
tive Focht, of Union, extends the right
to attach for wages. The time is ex
tended from six months to a year, and
from $250 to 0500.
She Wanted Kevrngo.
A woman giving her name as Maude
Stewart, but who was Identilied as Miss
bona Van Loon, of Plymouth, created a
big sensation at Hazleton on Friday
night by following Geo. E. Archbald, of
Providence, Lackawanna county, with a
pistol. At the hearing, which took
place before Mayor Gavitt, some sensa
tional evidence was given. She stated
that Arclibald some timo ago secured a
marriage certificate and showed it to
Iter father and grandparents.and declar
ed thai they were married. They lived
witli her parents as man and wife until
she discovered, as sho claims, that he
was already married.
She then left her father's home, and
has since been living in several resorts.
Three weeks ago she arrived at South
lleberton, and last week learned that
Archbald was in Hazleton. She made
several trips there and finally discovered
him in Evenson's saloon. Immediately
after she purchased a revolver, hut
Archbald, seeing that he was discovered,
left the saloon and notified Chief Pol
grean.
The chief of police arrested the young
woman and found a revolver concealed
boneath her coat. She was locked up.
Her story is a sad 0110.
Tlie New County Ju.tllled.
From the Philadelphia Times.
Congressman Leisenrlng Is not in sym
paty with tho new county movement
which pares away tho Democratic end
of Luzerne and confers upon Hazleton
certain honors coveted for years, and
from a persona! standpoint Congressman
Leisenrlng is justilied in his opposition,
but he advances no reasons beyond tho
general one that a new county m< ans an
increase In taxation. It likewise means
a new deal in politics and in the kind in
which ho most Interested, as tho now
county will he Democratic, with nothing
loft for Leisenring's friends. The new
county scheme appears to be a
sure thing, however, despito Mr.
Leisenring's opposition, as the Kline bill
lias tho proper endorsement and is well
on the way through the house. It Is the
single bill of merit of the four now
county measures before the legislature,
and is rather justified by tho facts.
I>eath of a Wealthy Farmer.
Jacob Gould, tho wealthiest man in
Salem township, this county, died on
Friday morning of pneumonia. He was
for many years a banker for the people
of his section, but his mind failed about
a year ago and a commission in lunacy
was appointed to prevent him from
squandering his property. He labored
under thojiallucinatlon that his proper
ty was not sufficient to keop him. He
was 96 years old and was said to be a
relative of the late Jay Gould.

New Peck'* Had lloy.
Tho manager of tho opera house has
decided to givo his patrons a laughing
night and lias engaged for next Thurs
day evening tho now "Feck's Had Boy."
Almost every one lias read the funny
writings of the Hon. Geo. W. Feck, ex
governor of Wisconsin. The version of
the "Bad Boy" is made up from the fun
niest incidents in his writings. Tho
company that will present the play at
the opera house numbers the best list of
fun makers that have ever appeared In
the play. There is a laugh in every lino
and a song after every laugh. Some de
lightfully musical numbers and special
ties arc Interspersed throughout the
play. The "Bad Boy" makes a peck of
trouble In tho play, but a bushel of fun
for the audience." Itemembor the dato,

The Courthouse Squabble.
An important mooting of tho public
property committee of tho city coun
cil of Wilkos-Barro was hold to hoar
arguments by citizens and attorneys in
regard to tho advisability of tho city
giving tho county a plot of land on River
street for a courthouse site. Tho most
prominent property owners and attor
neys in that town wore present. Alex
ander Farnham said there had been con
siderable criticism of the commissioners
for their decision to build a new court
house, but he wished it understood that,
according to the finding of two succes
sive grand juries, tho commissioners
have no discretion in the matter and are
under obligations to build. The recom
mendation of the grand juries is equally
as binding as an act of the legislature.
Ex-Attorney General Palmer vigorously
opposed the change, saying that the
commissioners had no right whatever to
move tho courthouse from the Square.
He said the commissioners had already
dono considerable that was not right,
lie was vigorously applauded when he
had finished. The concensus of opinion
was that the site should be given to the
county on a ninety-nine years' lease at
a nominal rental of &1 a year. The com
mittee will roport at tho next ineoeting
of the, council.
