ROUND THE REGION. The stationary firemen of the upper regions state that they have assurances that all the manufacturing companies and the traction company will grant their demands for an eight-hour day, but thoy don't know what the coal com panies will do. The convention is to be held at Wilkesbarre next Sunday, and the intention is to declare a strike at all places where the demand is not granted. The firemen now work twelve hours. The quarterly convention of the Un ited Mine Workers, of District No. 1, is in session at Scran ton with 400 dele gates, representing 1.13 local unions, in attendance. At this convention the annual election of officers will take place. T. D. Nichols, of Nanticoke, is a candidate to succeed himself and will he strongly opposed by Timothy Hayes, of Dickson City. The work of excavating the road bed of the new trolley road between Hazlc ton and Wilkesbarre will soon commonce. The Keystone Improvement Company has started to advertise for bids for the construction of the road and the build ing of culverts and other things neces sary for twenty-six miles of trolley line. The contract will bo given out in sections. Tho piles that annoy you so will be quickly and permanently healed if you use DeWitt's Witcii Hazle Salve. He ware of worthless counterfeits.

LABOR IN MINNESOTA JBEFUL WORK UNDERTAKEN BY THE STATE'S BUREAU. k Line of InvfMtlKHtloni Which Indl cute 1 hut It Im It cully a Bureau In the Intercut of Labor—'The CoinuiU- Mlonrr'a Speech nt Convention. I.nbor Commissioner O'Donnell of Minnesota has mudo a study of tho la bor question and, unlike some of the other state labor statisticians of the country, has a pretty fair idea of the kind of Information that will be of vulue In determining the status of the worklngman and the practicable and desirable changes In Industrial condi tions that will lead to Improvement. At the recent annual convention of labor commissioners held In St. Louis Com missioner O'Donnell made an address, from which the following Is quoted: "In the forthcoming biennial report of the Minnesota bureau we will try to classify the employees of establish ments and to give so far as possible the number of hours of work performed per day and week during the whole year. Supposing an establishment had carpenters, inolders, machinists, paint ers, plumbers and other trudesmeu em ployed, besides apprentices and helpers of all kinds, and that during a certain period of the year the plant was oper ated nine hours a day with a less num ber of men than at another time with a greater number of men at ten hours a day, our aim is to get at the correct fig ures so far as possible. Our report, furthermore, will show the relative per centage of apprentices to the Journey men In any of the particular factories or trades that we may select for Inves tigation. "From time to time our department has urged upon the employers of labor In our state to provide a suitable emer gency chest for their factories equipped with bandages, gauze, liniments and all necessary implements and medicines to render first aid to the Injured. And I am able to state with great satisfaction that our efforts have met with success In this direction. One of the large es tablishments in our state employing be tween 700 and 800 men has extended on our recommendation so far that they have provided two elaborate emer gency chests, with stretchers, beds, etc. And the men employed have formed In each department an ambulance corps, and they have received a great deal of Instruction from the company's doctor as to how to aid and take care of per sons Injured until medical assistance can be procured or they can be remov ed to tlielr home or to the hospital. The employers of labor In our state are re quired to report to the bureau of labor all accidents that require the services of a surgeon, and thoy are classified as to their nature, causes and also the In dustries In which tho injured were en gaged at the time of the accident. "The enforcing of laws regulating the employment of children forms no small part of the department's work, and, with the aid our department is receiv ing from the school authorities, which In our state alone are authorized to excuse children from school attend ance, child labor lias been reduced to a minimum, and no employment per mits are granted to any child under 14 years of age without a thorough In vestigation by the school officials or one of the employees of the bureau as to the conditions and the needs of the family or of the child making ap plication for such a permit, and we may confidently say that the employ ment of children under 14 years prac tically does not exist In the state of Minnesota, The factory Inspectors' re ports for the city of St. Paul up to May 10 of this year show tho following figures: In 540 establishments they found 11,340 persons employed, 8,159 men, 3,055 women, 81 boys and 51 girls under the age of 1G years, hut over 14 years, or, In other words, the number of children employed represents 1.10 per cent of the total number employed. "The phenomenal development of the Iron ore iniuing Industry of our state has added new worts to our depart ment, and our Inspectors are at the present time engaged In mine Inspec tions. We expect to have this year 41 mines In operation, and it is anticipated that the output for the year will roach the 10,000,000 ton mark. This industry gives employment to thousands of men, most, of whom are foreign born. "For special Investigation by the staff of the bureau I have selected, among others, the following subjects: "First.—The continuation of investi gation of Sunday labor, which was or dered by the legislature of 1890. "Second.—lnvestigation as to the number of hours worked by stationary engineers and firemen and as to the general conditions surrounding such employment. "Third.-—The eight hour workday from the standpoint of the employers. "Fourth.—The union label, Its use in Minnesota, the good it has accomplish ed, if any, and the conditions allowing Its adoption. "Fifth.—The conditions surrounding employees in the manufacture of cigars kind in woodworking establishments. "Sixth.—The employment of females. "The employment of females has at tained such magnitude Iu all civilized countries of the world that It has be come almost an international question of grave Importance. The question is often asked, 'Was woman not destined to grace the house and home of hus band and family?' Then why is It that women seek employment In the facto ry and workshops? Ilave their male relatives profited by their leaving home and entering the unwholesome atmos phere of the workshops, with their rat tling and swirling machinery, or the department stores, with their arbitra ry orders to remain standing at all times during the nine or ten hours of the day and a standing threat of in | rtant discharge to any employee who fails to have a kind word and a per petuul smile for each aud every cus -1 toiner that comes along? Have the bur | dens of men been eased In any way? j Can they find better or more remtiuer j atlve employ went sluee women came In competition with them for places and salaries? Though I must frankly udmit I know that the bureau of labor of Minnesota cannot solve this great prob lem, It is our Intention to delve in and gain what Information we can and pre sent It to the public, hoping and trust ing that It may result in some good, j "Of new laws of interest to the indus trial classes enacted by our last legis lature I might mention the eight hour ■ law that provides that eight hours shall constitute a day's work to he done by contract or on lnffialf of the state; also the law that provides for | tho examination by the building in spectors of our cities of ull persons en gaged iu the work of operatfng passen ger elevators. "A law regulating barber colleges has been enacted, and the law regulating persons engaged in or working at the ; business of plumbing has been so amended that it Is possible to line or I Imprison persons violating the provi sions of this net. The last session of I the legislature by its acts has shown j that the people of Minnesota are j abreast of the times In securing leglsla- I tlon to improve and to better the gener | al conditions of the working people." ! THE TRUSTS AND LABOR. , OrKHni>d Worker* the Mighty Force That Will Protect All the People. | "The politicians and i>olitlcal econo ' mists will see nothing but ruin In the i trusts unless constitutions are changed ! and all manner of laws enacted to pro tect the i>eople are not taking into ac count that mighty force which has al ways defended the people In war as well as In peace," said General von Nlemand at the regular meeting of the Economic club, says the Cincinnati En quirer. "What is the mighty force? It Is or ganized labor. No, I am not going to make a labor union speech—just illus trate a fact as I see It. It is admitted that the Industrial combinations In clude a vast amount of water and that the people must pay dividends on the water. That Is true. The consumer pays the dividends which enrich the combinations. Hut we must not lose sight of the fact that labor Is the main consumer of the products of the trusts, so that when prices are advanced labor has to pay the hulk of the burden. When prices arc pushed beyond the reach of the laboring classes, n strike for higher wages follows. If the strike succeeds, the workers divide with the trusts the money forced out of the working classes. When the laboring element has sufficient reward for its toll, it meets the advanced prices to all those who live between the trusts and the tollers by spending the In crease of their wages. No matter how high prices may be, if labor 1h Justly compensated the equilibrium Is mniiu tained. When labor Is not justly com pensated, it strikes, and it thus fights the battles of every other class which is opposed to trusts. The man who takes the place of a striker not only wrongs himself, but the entire nonpro ducing class and all other working men. "1 believe In public sympathy nud support for strikers In cases of de mands for increase of wages when prices of commodities are advancing. | Every advance In prices touches the working classes first, because they are the principal consumers who have uo store laid by for such times. When prices are declining, the wages ore al ways the first thing cut in order to keep shops moving, and labor Ims to accept tho condition. In fact, the public de mands that labor shall accept the re ductions when prices are declining. The prices of commercial commodities, like agricultural products, depend upon the cost of production with a reasona ble profit added. No law can prevent extortion in prices when the output is controlled by a monopoly, but the labor can stop production until it receives a share of the extortion, and as labor cannot hoard It must divide the share It gets with all other classes. There fore labor Is the army which must fight the battles of all the nonproducers who live out of the commissions between the producer and the consumer. When labor demands more than a just share of the profits, it destroys the employer and in turn destroys itself. The public could safely leave In the hands of labor the fighting of all the antitrust battles. I ask you, gentlemen of the Economic club, to think of tho practical workings of the idea I am presenting and see if you do not reach the same conclusions which I have." Conrte*y Pays. "If they don't want us to bite, thoy shouldn't treat us like dogs." This re mark of a coal miner during the last strike iu Pennsylvania is quoted by a writer in The Independent who has made a study of labor questions, Her bert N. Cnsson, as illustrating one cause of strikes which might and should ho avoided. Mr. Cnsson has ad vised and conferred with the labor lend ers in many Important strikes of late years, Hud be holds that lack of a little common courtesy on the part of the employer Is a very frequent means of exasperating the members of unions to the point of lawbreuking. He says that It often happens that representatives of unions are not only refused a bearing, hut are sworn at and ordered out of the office, and that this creates a feeling of bitter resentment In the minds of the workers, which bears fruit not Infre- I quently in the destruction of life and property. On tlie other hand, he de clares, when the employer is willing to J confer with the secretary of the union j and a strike takes place without any I previous ill feeling there is rarely any ! violence or boodlumism.
