comply on the basis of a humane duty marvelous growth of the capital city as to Its civic Mr Blakely concludes a closer supervision than formerly At present one Inspector looks after the entire city All the other large cities of the state are growing proportionately having added many new manufacturing plants The cities of Gary and Hammond as wrell as other cities of Lake County are growing

of manufacturing and mercantile establishments In Indiana dur ing the year ending Sept 30 1910 Is shown by an Increase of 24968 employes as compared to the previous year The In crease however Includes not only the employes of manufacturing and mercan tile establishments but of laundries bakeries quarries printing offices hotels and public buildings as well The report was fild yesterday with Governor Mar shall by William Blakely chief factory inspector Thirty two of the seventy four fatalities in Indiana during the Lake County Of the 33 per cent occurred This fact Is attributed conditions of the work plants During the year 3989 Industrial establishments Installed guards for dangerous machinery saws planers ele vator shafts and stairways Accidents which numbered 2812 were classified as follows: atal 74 serious 434 slight and very slight 1316 The total number of accidents was slightly greater than last year This Is attributed to the fact that more thorough reports were made to the department of Inspection PLEADS OR CHILD Speaking of child labor In the state Mr Blakely says much has been said and little done He believes that no children except those employed in farm work or domestic service should be ex empt from the provisions of the child labor law The law now In force does not prohibit the employment of children in hotels shoe shining parlors bowling I alleys and In the telegraph telephone messenger sendee Only children I employed in mercantile or manufacturing establishments laundry renovating works bakeries and printing shops are required to have a certificate from the parents guaranteeing the age to be 14 years or more Mr Blakely also believes the I hours for children should be reduced from I ten to eight Seventy six prosecutions I for violations of the child labor law were I begun during the year and each resulted I in a victory for the state I That a mistake was made by the last General Assembly in taking from the fac tory Inspector the power to require the I erection of fire escapes Is the conviction I of Mr Blakely ire chiefs and township I trustees are shown to have been derelict a In fliA nnrfnrmnnrA of this dutv In the I fact that the number of fire eseapps in fl stalled was but 30 per cent of the num fl ber Installed in previous years Local I political conditions are held responsible I fnn the failure of local officers to accom I pllsh anything of great value or merit I DANGER IN MACHINERY There are many steam boilers not used for propelling machinery which the chief factory Inspector believes should come I under the jurisdiction of the department of inspection Boilers used for drying steaming and heating he believes are just as dangerous and as likely to cause injury and loss of life as boilers used in factories In a few instances it is pointed out the boilers used for heating purposes in office buildings schools colleges the aters hospitals and apartment houses have caused many injuries and much loss of life bv blowing up suddenly These I boilers it Is said carry high pressure I have the same power and destructive en 9 ergv as the factory boiler and are just as aangerous Of the 7217 Inspections made during the year changes in plants were ordered in 4lii cases viub ignored by factory owners or proprietors Reinspections during the year have been Impossible the report states because of the comparatively few inspectors em ployed bv the department Mr Blakely recommends that the present corps of five inspectors be doubled The operation of the laws fixing the school age limit of children between 14 and 16 years old who are unable to read and write has been unsatisfactory Such children it Is contended are not compelled to attend school neither are thev permitted to become breadwinners Jt IS proposca inai me iiiuahijuiii limit for children who can not read write be fixed at is PLEADS OR states have with no more than week for Dlobalv enve law with a maximum of sixty hours a week Should we expect the child to labor as long and as hard as a grown person? Are there not many labor unions that have obtained an eight hour day for themselves? Yet we permit the child to labor ten long hours proper penalty should be provided for parents and guardians found guilty of willfullv swearing out false affidavits concerning the age The present law is entirely too severe and has been enforced only to the extent of having the child discharged the affidavit taken up and the parent censured Should we prosecute the maker of the affidavit the result would be a pentltentiary sentence and the withdrawal for a year at least of I the chief support of the family There should be a statute in this state similar to the one In Pennsylvania whereby a fine and jail sentence might be Imposed In Pennsylvania during the year ten cases were prosecuted for swearing out false affidavits A fine and jail sentence were Imposed In each case These how ever were suspended by the court on ac count of the poverty of the defendants The moral effect was the same as if the fine had been paid and the jail sentence served since the wrongdoers themselves as well as the entire community where they lived took warning from the pub licity given in each COMMITTEE SUPPLIES WAGE Mr Blakely cites the Louisiana sys tem of dealing with child labor In this state a child labor committee supplies the wage of children when it Is found the family would suffer if deprived of the earnings and the child is permitted to attend school Louisville Ky has a similar system the present fire escape law lit tle has been accomplished by the fire says the chief inspector politics evidently interferes to some ex tent with the enforcement of the law While conversing with one of these offi cers recently he pointed out a building which he said needed a fire escape and was dangerous wttnout one 1 asked mm vhy he did not order the escape erected as the law requires 'Why 1 do he said owner is a member of the City Council and I would lose my Similar cases have been un covered in other cities In a great many small towns the tire chief is in business is afraid of making enemies and conse quently the law is not In speaking of the accidents In the plant of the United States Steel Corpora tion at Gary and in fact of accidents in general Mr Blakely says: are parts of working machinery that it is almost impossible to guard by the use of any known appliance Here the employes must exercise due care Some laborers show extreme negligence and reckless disregard for danger in op erating these machines Some insist on oiling pulleys gears and shaftings while in motion a slight slip and they may lose a hand should their clothing be caught in a set screw or gear the whole arm would he mangled or fatal injuries inflicted Until such practices have ceased the employer may labor unceas ingly and still be powerless to prevent accidents EMPLOYERS GENERALLY AIR would seem wise for the employer tn discharge careless persons or who persists in wearing loose or large sleeves likely to catch Will Turn Office Over to Harry Wallace Jan 1 The resignation of Howard Kimball as city controller will be forwarded to Mayor Shank in a few days The resig nation will take effect Jan 1 after which it is the said the not future county recorder whose term the latter office will expire with the old year will become city controller Alfred Cook the present deputy controller probably will be succeeded by red Akin chief STAR WANT SL deputy recorder Of is one form of perfect baking in the line The Leipsic GERMAN COEE CAKES narticnlarlv rich and make von a SDlenaia unnstmas morning DreaKiasi: another for Monday Better take a couple home today ft Jwusand Gifts 5i aflflwk niii i Milin i 1 Ufflwi' AT 1 A' XZ iiM ft $1 I 1 1 i 1 1 I Ml 4 1 I ft ftX I A CtirlatmaB Gift Sure to Please niRl.
